revoracing247 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 alright so this took like 6 hours to do with 2 people (i have the best girlfriend) i hate sanding and some things went wrong but at least my box has some color inside now! but first the lovely hours of wet sanding... here's the before and after pics. you can't really tell that well in pics but it was a lot smoother! before after before after before after honestly probably not the best job cause i started getting really tired of sanding, the sand paper kept coming apart... and just crap like that. but most the big bumps were knocked down. and i'm not looking for glass smooth inside the box. mainly just to get less air resistance inside. that's why i did it all the way inside even to where no one will ever see it again. shooting for max efficiency in this box lol we'll see how it comes!

revoracing247 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 now sommmme collooorrr! i went with a forest green like my truck just to actually color match stuff lol plus green is an awesome color sooo this is where we got problems. i guess my foam roller was open celled foam and so it made bubbles all over the place it when it'd roll. so there might be bubbles in the paint when it all dries but i guess we'll see oh well live and learn. i'll probably do a lot better for the outside. oh yeah so my phone was dead by the time we started painting so all these pics are from my GF's Iphone and i think they're a little worse quality then what my phone could have done but oh well. at least i have pics! also another really annoying problem we had were bugs flying and landing on the fresh pain -.- it really was a pain but idk. we'll see how everything turns out in the end. anyways, hopefully next time (shooting for tomorrow or saturday) i get time to work on it im gonna rebuild the amp rack /floor thing in my truck to better suit the new box and i might even be able to put the box together! pretty excited for that part honestly. might be borrowing a router to finish up things here but we'll see. if i can get that router then the box should be all put together by the time school gets out and i head home! let me know what you guys think!

I just put on another coat of bed liner lol i really hope they come out with some wet sanding. though looking at them it looks like they might be pretty ugly when i sand them i will be able to tell tomorrow when i go out and see how it all dried. i'll also try to get some pics of it during the day. all the pics i have of the color are kind of hard to see how it actually looks.

revoracing247 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 sorry it's taken so long guys. we had a flash flood yesterday and spent the rest of the evening helping people who's apartments got flooded anyways, back to the box stuff! so first i decided the glue wouldn't adhere to the paint well so i spent a good few hours scraping it off.... so first i tried tracing out the lines of the boards and then scrape it away with a screwdriver queue the next few hours of my life... everything finally scraped off. cleaned up the tops of the boards alright so then it was time to start drilling all the holes for the screws. but i didn't know where exactly the boards were so i came up with this thing to figure out where they were. i took some duck tape and made a little dot of it and made it so the bottom wasn't sticky and then i set it on the end of the board and then i set the top down and then after a few tries it stuck to the top and wala! shows where the end of the board was! alright and then after i got all the screws in. so for the first time i get to see what the box will basically look like! so then everything was ready to get glued! so here is the last time anyone will see this part of the box ever lol can't fit your head around the bends to see that part lol anyways, IT'S GLUED!!! then i decided to work on the new amp rack and setup. so here is a picture of the setup before i tear it all down for the last time doesn't looked that cool. hoping to make my new setup way nicer i was up till 5 working on pulling everything out that night and i got somewhat of a rough amp rack made but forgot to take a pic I think you have a bit of truck stuck in your mud bro ~Ford Ranger, ext cabKenwood DDX4701/0ga stinger wiring for big 31/0ga ofc flextech wiring 3 kinetik 800's AQ2200 @1ohm Sundown Audio X15 in a 27Hz tuned ported box LE BUILD LOG!!!

revoracing247 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 the next morning it was back to working on the box. cutting out the mounting hole! got the double baffle cut out and rounded over and glued! (that took some work and stuff wasn't going good for me that day) but then there was the problem of cutting out the port again i only had a 1/2" flush trim bit so it was a pain. to get most of it out we used a skill saw to cut it. the rough cutout and then the next morning got it cutout slowly with the flush trim bit so here it is! almost done and it's pretty much ready to play! i also got the terminals put in and the sub loaded just to play around in the garage on low power and this thing is insane already! can't wait to put it in!! just gotta get my amp rack built so i can put it in and get the SPL's flow!
