KiKaZz74 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Not trying to be a troll in anyway here. But I'm in welding at my school and we have alot of metal. I'm just wondering if it was possible to build an enclosure out of steel plate? Clean welds, braced and ported. We have 3/8" plate mostly. But would it work? And would it found like ass? won't do it I'm jw and say weight is not an issue.

SnowDrifter Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 There was a guy on here who did something like that a while ago. I say try it.

Justscrap Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I remember a while back someone did this but,again it was a aluminum box also. It was in car audio magazine. Was a yellow JL Audio hummer,says it was doing over 150's in the article. I say try it and let us know. Get plenty of pics. Good luck bro.. Quote if you put a DD-1 in your amp terminal and it immediately went up in smoke, i would be concerned. If you shoved your dick in the terminal and it didn't blow up but a month later it blew up, i STILL WOULDN'T be able to blame your dick. It just does not make sense at all.

I remember the Gates bronco did 170+ at least thats what the article said. here is an article that mentions it, look at '1998" http://www.baudline.com/erik/bass/facts_about_bass.html it was a "W" shaped wall, here is the best pic i could find Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.
