AQ HDC3 18 Box Build *pics*


Recommended Posts

haha that was just a start to get dimensions down really. The actual box is tuned to 42hz with the fixed port and 36hz with the insert. I will just keep the insert for everyday music and then I will remove the insert and use the 42ha tuning to compete with or just run on the termlab for fun to see what I am actually doing number wise.

What do you think of 36hz nad 42hz?

I will start sanding the glass tomorrow afternoon/night depending on when it is fully cured. Also should have the baffle on tomorrow after I sand everything. I also will be adding the bracing tomorrow afternoon.

Opinions please:

Should I glass the baffle to the box on the inside or leave it so I can still remove the baffle to work on different ports if I ever decide to tune lower?

Bed liner on the box or paint it? If you say paint it what kind of paint would you recommend?

I like the bed lined look also. I have filled all the screw holes and do I need to go around the seems and seal them too before I bed line it?

I really appreciate it man. I finished it up yesterday afternoon. All i got left to do is bed line it and I will be done. I glassed the baffle on the outside of the box and it has a good amount of titebond between the baffle and box. No air leaks anywhere while playing. I have checked the box at every seam to try and find a leak but glad there weren't any. Got a few pics below of my progress.
