nosho47 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I did a traditional 3" bodydrop so the cab floor is raised 3". If i single wall it i would have a lot more room... i actually would have roughly 11 cu. I already calculated on the torres with it just being single and i with the measurements i have taken, i would have too much room... Maybe enough to fit one more sub which i wont mind doing if i dont get bitched at from my other half...lol... If i made a box under the window line, i would have enough airspace but i rather just go with the wall. Since the box is flush with the top window line, it curves on the edgesso thats where i lose it. maybe i'll just do the single wall , double baffle and brace it up good... I just dont want it to break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont want it to break. it wont. dowels, resin, fiberglass, wood glue and you will be fine. can ever use 90 degree galvanized steel (the one will all the holes in it) to help hold the box together, and put a 45 over that Edited January 28, 2012 by ChevyBoy95 Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traks Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Trax... is your box single or doubled? Box is single 3/4" Baffle is double 1.5" just for the purpose of flush mounting the subs.,a.......brace between subs and the portwall is all the bracing in the box. Then resined inside and outside. Outside was just for smother surface....but then it got textered paint so that was a waste of time.Hers a pic of the final box that I took to world. Same one as in the vid before glass.

Traks Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) 50.5 w 17 d 23ish tall tuned at 40 with alot of port. Its 5.9 something after displacement. And that port took up alot. The box I have designed now is shorter nor as deep same width and will be just over 6 cubes with 3 6" aeros so I can get some leg room back. With your bodydrop you should be right at the window if not a hair over if you decide on using aeros. And I was only pushing these with 1 DC 3.5K. And before anyone ask. This is how you get 50.5 wide in a dime Edited January 28, 2012 by Traks Quote 2011 Meca World Champ S3 Team Truth Hertz Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosho47 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) thanks for all the help... i am nearly done... i just have to add the all thread bracing and baffle and i should be good to go... heres a pic of what i have so far. would you guys recommend me bracing it on the bottom of the port or two on each side of the port? i know for sure i will brace it up from left to right and back to the middle of the baffle Edited January 31, 2012 by nosho47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosho47 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Damn... i should of cover that up... thats my seceret compartments... j/k... i just spaced it out a bit to get the port placed where i wanted it to be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traks Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 One to the port should be good.But I might suggest running it threw the port to the top of the box. Then just add bolts. So you would have a total of 6 bolts on the one rod. 2 at bottom of box. 2 at bottom of port and 2 at the top of the port. Dunno if it will flex or not. Or you could double layer the top of the box. But the box looks great cant wait to see it done! Quote 2011 Meca World Champ S3 Team Truth Hertz Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
