ColumbusJBR Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Turned out good. I think 20 sq in of port is way to much though. I was trying to go by the guideline I keep seeing of 12-16 sq in per cu ft, I'm at about 14. It may very well be too much, I'm no expert. At least it sounds good to me.

ColumbusJBR Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 isn't 1.4 cube a little high for a 10? anyway I like the box, I tried to do my box like yours but my paint go all scuffed up because the box slid all aaround until I got a false floor. looks good, I wish I had those clamps when I did my box Check out Harbor Freight for clamps, I got em cheap as hell. Not top quality but they get the job done. I'm gonna go back for more actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusJBR Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Just flipped the box around so it's firing back. The box sounds BEAST. I'm just gonna go run unnecessary errands so I can listen, it hits so much lower and deeper than the old box. Since I listen to mostly rap and dubstep/electronica (I know, I know, I'm 27 but I don't think I'll ever grow up!) thats exactly what I wanted. Thx for the comments, guys.

ColumbusJBR Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Update: Made a new amp rack, tried to make it smaller, cleaner, and able to mount semi-vertically to back of box. Didn't take many pictures of this but here they are nonetheless... Simple rectangular piece, two strips of mdf underneath to allow for some space under the rack for wires. Slapped some cheap carpet on it. Crammed everything a little closer together Mounted to back of box Got about an extra 8" trunk space out if it, well worth the time and looks cleaner IMO. Only thing left to do (for now) is to get some sort of grill on the sub so I can use the extra trunk space w/ peace of mind. Thats all for now, thanks for looking!

RAM5493 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) the looks awesome man. Definitely looks like you had some experience, way better then my first try lol awesome Edited July 24, 2012 by RAM5493 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusJBR Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks man. It was indeed my first box build, but I've played around w/ various other woodworking projects in the past. Off topic, but for example: Didn't want to spend $200 on a tv stand so built this outta MDF And built this message center for my GF The more you do them, the more you pick up little tricks and tips. Goes faster every time. I'd love to get a router to get a little more detail work done, but thats for another day... Thanks for looking!

RAM5493 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thats a great way to save money. That looks like a tv stand I would pay over 100 for. Good work man and yes I learned a lot from my first build alone haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingleo Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Instead of terminal cups you can use bolts and nuts for terminals. But good job on your first box. 1.4 isn't to bad I put a 10" audiopipe txx-bd in a 1.5 box @ 30hz and it sounded like two 12's.
