inquiz Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, This is my first worklog to post up here and really my first big box build. With some help from my friend Mooney (i'm sure he's around here somewhere) we built a 7cuft box for my jetta. I'm not gonna lie, building a box from the inside out is a damn bitch. Here's the pictures that i've got so far. I'll post some more up as soon as I can find my camera's usb cable. =] Enjoy! Here's the 15bl lookin all pretty. Mooney's new saw This is most of the boards cut and just placing it in to make sure it can all fit screwing down the braces clamps ThugNasty Kitty litter saw horses =P Mock up with the faceplate Inside the mock More mock ups ( yea thats my foot out the side) Almost finished with bracing Port is cut Playing with the RE we got for 140 shipped =P Last pic before the camera died I'll put up some more photos of what everything looks like as of now, it still needs to be carpeted but It still looks good and big. Btw its 7.3cu tuned to 35hz Edited January 30, 2008 by inquiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron813 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 did you ever consider firing the subs into the cab and not at the trunk latch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiz Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) did you ever consider firing the subs into the cab and not at the trunk latch Yea, it was something that I really went back and fourth with, But ultimately I decided to have the port firing towards the trunk. I have taken off the rear deck and it allows unrestricted airflow. Something me and mooney are going to eventually fiberglass the trunk to where it has a ramp type surface that will smooth out the airflow from the port to the rear deck. In theory I think It would improve airflow slightly, not sure if i'd see any real world differences.

inquiz Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks for the input guys, I think i'll face it forward when i get my other 15 and have to build another box. With any luck i'll be able to have 2 15's by the end of february. Though i'm thinking of pzin the fi and getting some DC insead, but we'll see how it goes =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
