bobwires Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hello All Here's Gretchen, my Dodge shop truck. I'm installing a Sony head, JL Slash amps, Hybrid Legatia speakers, and DD 1508's. Box comes first. (2) DD 1508's at 2.2ft3 tuned to 34hz. I'm keeping it really simple, no molding into any trim or anything. STP Gold deadener 3" PVC for ports. This box is tuned at the advice of Ray West - Many thanks. Gooped up good. I did put a brace in the middle, by the way. Nice even glue dripping. I hate caulking the back seam, and on this box it would be impossible. I opted for a buttload of wood glue instead of gorilla. This box is screwed along the side edges. This is the first box I've screwed together since I was 17 and got a compressor and nail gun.... I did it because I want to put a pretty large radius on the sides and not risk screwing up my honking router bit. Those puppies aren't cheap. Plaster for the shape. I'm sick of slaving away on bondo..... well actually I just had all day to tinker on 3 different things, so I figured I had the time to wait for plaster to dry and I could take advantage of it's ease of sanding. It's plenty tough for this job. Seat all the way back Scooted up where I actually drive this thing. I sit farther forward than usual because of the long clutch travel.

bobwires Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I considered doing these end caps several different ways, with several different shapes, but here's what I did. I rounded all the edges, but kept the insert corners sharp. top and bottom of the box are 3/4" radius, sides are actually a 1-1/4" radius but not with the bit all the way down. I think it will look pretty cool. I was also going to do the port insert later, but figured I'd just hog it out and fill it all up/in when the insert is removed. I'll level out the side with the ports quite a ways. It's coming along nicely but leaving my shop in the biggest cloud of dust I've had in a long time. Not since I was sanding plaster with my 8" rotary on the display. The ridiculous cloud of dust. In retrospect, the plaster wasn't even close to strong enough for this aggressive of an insert, So i knocked the end caps off and redid the profiles with duraglass. I couldn't help it, had to shoot some primer. I'll get the last bit of filler on there and have it blocked out and wrapped up as soon as I can.... I blasted them with Urethane primer today. I had some sitting around thickening up.... figured I'd use it to black out the box. I'm not going to wrap it until I have the console built and the transitions figured out.
