carshateme Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Okay thanks for all your opinions, I've made up my mind and I'm going with the first design.. I think it'd look better, and based on some of your suggestions, it will sound better and I will be able to just cut out my middle seat cover so that the port can fire into the cabin and the subs will fire towards the seat. I will be having the amp mounted in the back with a yellow top optima battery in there as well. (I know XS power and Stinger is a much better choice, but this is a budget build). Gonna have home depot cut most of the wood so I have an all equal cut, so I can't mess up with my normal saw..(Stupid safety protection thing keeps causing me to jerk over an 1/16" when it finally disengages.. Thank you guys for your opinions. I appreciate it. Quote New build coming soon.

carshateme Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) NOooooooooo.LOl jk let me know how it sounds, because my L-port sounds sweet..pics in my sig I currently have an Back L-port on the box I have in my car right now. I can hear a little port noise, so I don't like it, could be because it was built poorly...but..I shall. PS: You should send me that clamp you got...too cheap to buy one =)) Edited March 22, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.

CleanSierra Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Can't believe Stereo Joe didn't hop into this thread to be quite honest! My pick would be the L-port box out of simplicity reasons. Less cuts with the saw, less clamping and using a a square for alignment. Let err rip dude, get to building.

Lol The only thing I'll be cutting is the Corner pieces and the speaker cutouts. So I don't mind the additional cutting, Home depot will be doing it on their panel saw. Thinking about using a tow strap for holding the pieces together. Well I honestly don't need clamps or stuff. What I normally do is, make sure it's all good and aligned. Put wood glue on it, take an air gun, staple it down, take course drywall screws or MDF screws and mount it and let it dry. Edited March 22, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.

carshateme Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Well I see some people like to use the L port..it makes the box look sick in some cases. That was the case for me. Performance over Visual. (I can't find the word I'm looking for, brain fart.) Edited March 22, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.
