monkeyleg Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thank you for the distro blocks idea, was going to hit up toolmaker for something fancy, but as you're proving, a simple aluminum slab will do. Flow of the trunk is very nice btw. And where are all the people that suggest a HO alt as soon as you go over 1000RMS? Quote Google it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I can't think of any build I've enjoyed watching more than this on the forum. And that IS-F is getting a fitting system... Not too much and not too little it seems. And thanks again for going out of pocket for SOTM April. I'm listening to the RE 8" sub I picked up with the cash right now... it's prolly the best overall sounding sub I've owned LOL Do work, bro! Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

meade916 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Birch is the latest "fad" bro. having done alot of work in home theater, pro sound, and building guitar and bass guitar cabinets, i can say that birch is more than just a fad. it has superior tonal properties compared to mdf, and of course the obvious weight difference. though if folks cared for ultimate material as far as the perfect balance of weight, tonal characteristics,and strength, then they would be looking more toward poplar. i was being a smart ass. I dont know about the tonal qualities being different though. Especially since i glass the inside of my boxes.

bass_stalker Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 i love birch but you always get the hardheaded people that say you can only build a box from mdf, as long as you use decent quality birch ply or hardwood ply you'll be fine. anyway nice work in the lexus steve, looks great so far Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Still makes me laugh though that with all the tools and shit that you have in the shop, you still havent bought a good drill press yet lol i thought about it but i didn't feel like going and buying it....plus, i have never tapped holes with a drill press, always by hand. Can it even be done on a drill press? I know you can do the holes, duhhh but what about tapping the threads?

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Tapping the threads can be done with a press, but you gotta baby it lol. I still prefer to do them by hand. Go too fast with a press and you'll heat up and snap the bit.
