john253a Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Ok so just doing a mild build for the misses car, 2 sa8 dual 2 in 0.75 @34hz on kicker zx400.1 (temporary amp) @ 2 ohm still running stock 11 speaker Bose system at the moment, future mods will be focal 8" 2 way on rear shelf (where factory subs are) and 6.5 components in all 4 doors havent decided on amp brand to replace kicker yet as i want my speaker and sub amps to look the same, so until i decide on components i wont not what to get , but considering the sundown 125.4 when it comes out and the 1000 for subs. anyway this is what i have so far, progress is slow due to weather and daylight, and still waiting on some parts to arrive Edited May 20, 2012 by john253a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 this is before the extra front baffle and silicone of all the joints, i had to do a bit of planning to level the box out as there was a gap of 0.04" in two of the corners the box with extra baffle, as you can see the port is primed and sprayed with a thin layer spray putty ready for sanding smooth you may also notice the small notch in the side, this to to aid in the removal the plexiglass to be installed this is what i sent out to have cut on a water jet out of 15mm (0.059") plexi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) ive since carpeted the box and fitted the plexi waiting for some led heat shrink to turn up so i can install it inside the box to shine through the plexi only, also just received my 3/16 t-nut so i can install the subs aswell Yes pour quality pic, taken from phone, should have some better one soon, when i get further along Edited May 7, 2012 by john253a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxsonnyxz Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Looks really nice! I'm curious to how well that box works out though? I remember a rule of thumb saying the port should look like a port in the enclosure, not a continuation of it. And your box looks more like a t-line, but if it's for the better or worse i don't know Quote STD Passat Build 151db+STD Omega BuildMitsubishi Colt Build - Alpine|Focal|PeerlessHome Stereo BuildSmall Tang Band build - 4" fullrangeBox for 4 8"My Saab 9000 Build- I'd be very happy if you cared to check out the logs and give feedback!

john253a Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Should work fine The last box I build just as a slap together had a smaller port at 10x1.75 but after speaking to sundown and going through pages of other poeples builds they all seem to build 0.6cuft net 14" of port at 33-35hz So that's what I build except for I increased the net to 0.75 to make the box a bit more peak bait more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 this is a build im doing for a mate in his 75 series landcruser 2 sa8 v2 its taken about 2 hrs so far, but the hard work is still to come in the finishing this isn't an exact drawing as i had converted to metric and rounded it due to 3/4" is 19.05mm and only 18mm mdf is avaible, but above it the exact measurements the black around the 45's isn't gapes is texta i used to trace a line on them. trial fitting the port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
