Someone Check if this is correct?

[TigerTony]

Well, I'm gonna be starting to build my First box and I did the torres calculation and then i checked to see what each piece would actually be. I think i got it all right for my cutsheet.

Had to redo the Sketchup. i forgot to save it the first time i did it.

Alright. I did a sketchup to find the cut sheet dim's. But if the calculations look Good I should be placing my order for the E-15 tomorrow and heading to get the MDF on Wednesday

Ok so I checked your cutlist and I see at least something not ok, and that is the height of th port parts (need to be 15.5") since I won't go into drawing your parts I generated a cutlist based on the Torres screenshot, here's the result:

PORT LENGTH = 32"

Enclosure Specifications:

External Height = 17 in

External Width = 24 in

External Depth = 23 in

Port Width = 3 in

Cut Sheet List:

* All Dimensions in Inches.

* Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.

External Enclosure Parts:

Front = 20 1/4 x 15 1/2

Back = 24 x 15 1/2

Left & Right Sides:

Side 1 = 21 1/2 x 15 1/2

Side 2 = 22 1/4 x 15 1/2

Top & Bottom = 24 x 23

L Port Internal Assembly Parts:

Front to Back = 18 1/2 x 15 1/2

Extension = 9 x 15 1/2

Assembly guide. (the dimensions are GENERIC please):

^^ I Caught the mistakes right when i saw your post.

But i Started the Box today! I have most of it done except for adding a little bit more of glue tomorrow.

I didn't have 90 Degree Clamps So I used what i had. But it looks like its coming out nice!

What should I use to Cover the Seams to make sure its sealed. Just more glue?

[Guest]

is the bottom of the 2nd bend of the port not flush with the first bend? i would hope you put some screws in to hold the glue instead of using clamps at the top of the edge.

i used silicon caulk for sealing edges.

[TigerTony]

I used a Nail gun for that. its just that my air compressor didn't have enough pressure at the first nail and I'm just using the clamp there to close it a little more. And i'll go pick some caulk up after school tomorrow. How long should the caulk sit to dry for?

[TigerTony]

Made my cut out trace!

And my E-15 came in today!

Question: Since I have to wait till later in the week for the shop i go to get 8ga wire. Would it be okay If i just ran my 12 Ga Through the port since I haven't drilled holes yet for Bolt Terminals i intend to use with the 8ga.

When I carpet the Box, My dad has some Fabric Adhesive that I can use. Is that okay to use? or should i just use some wood glue and spread it around?

[locomanny569]

fabric adhesive man! that thing will never come off and make sure it has no wrinkels first mistake i made when i did a box for the first time!
