rocking.that.eclipse Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Shoot me a text if you need help man. I'll be around for the next two weeks. Exams are coming up but I don't mind coming out to help. Also Casey's build is awesome. You should check it out when he gets the sealed side shrunk a little.

Lbox88 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 The times and hours I work on this are few, random, and far between lol. I hit this whenever I have a few minutes I can get away at a time. Figured I'd build up a few pics this time before I update. Work is slow with a wife, kid, and couple of dogs to deal with each night. Like the last box, holes are pre-drilled and countersunk before glue'n'screw Putting the port pieces together. One thing that I've fucked up in the past, and tried to just cover up or pretend wasn't there, I'm bringing out and fixing this time. Do every build better than the last right? Well after I go off the specs from Torres and make all my cuts, my side pieces are always between 1/16"-1/8" too long and it either screws up the front or back boards because this happens. So they've been marked this time to be fixed so it won't be a problem this time. Went ahead and started sanding the cutout holes a bit to smooth them out. And to show you how much room I have to work in: UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbox88 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wife watched the kid for a while and took her to a friends, so got a little work done. Gonna let the glue dry for a bit before I flip it and glue all the inside seams to make sure it's air tight. Then gotta find my wood filler and see if it's any good still.

Lbox88 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 So my wood filler was a rubbery solid block, had to pick up some more. Luckily this stuff dries fast so I already have all the holes covered and one side sanded. I know this isn't the best stuff but I've done well with it and it's all just for smoothing over anyways so it can be painted over.

Lbox88 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Laying some more filler just so that every seam will be completely smooth before I paint. Also getting the amp placement ready, drilled some holes to mount but waiting til daylight to actually mount it so I don't wake up the kid. Getting some wire ready and dug out the 1/0 inputs so I can just pop them in and out of the amp. And after holding the amp up, I decided I wanted to add a little more stability to the bat box frame, so getting some wood ready to cut to put here on the sides.

Lbox88 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Will do, don't know where subs are at yet but I still got enough work to do that should keep me busy until I get them anyways. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Stiffening up the frame, should help a bit but it was fair to begin with. Cheap fuse holders FTL, little modification to make the new 1/0 lugs fit. Mounted the amp, and getting wire cut up and lugs crimped on. Sanded down the front and sides of the box smooth, little filler on the back to even out. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
