Damn 14 hours straight is commitment man!!

[Raptorman]

Yep. Even whipped out the bug spray a few hours ago because the mosquito's were gettin' wicked. Got a lot done though. Feels good to knock it all out in a short time. Still gonna do a lot more layers on the glass panels though. That'll be tomorrow.

How much port area and what tuning? I've got a wall of 4 15 inch Obsidian's myself.

144sq in of port. 31hz tuning. And yeah I know smallish port. Shrug. Its what I like.

Thats not small at all. the port im using for mine is even smaller than that and it sounds great.

[Raptorman]

I've heard that you should give them around 200 sqin of port, idk. It should sound real nice. It came out to like 10 inches per cube if that matters.

[Omega5002]

Remember the per cube rule is bogus and made up

damn son lookin good! I may steal your idea with the d-sided tape to seal the van off!

[Raptorman]

Yeah man I laid up all the ductape, planning to glass over it. And when I was done and looking at it all I was like "shit.... The resin's gonna glide right off." The tape worked like a charm. The glass mat really stuck on there while I was glassing.

[Raptorman]

Got up at 7:30 to start glassing some more. Slapping some more layers on the seals. Once I'm happy with them I'll take them out and start on the bottom seal.

[Raptorman]

Gonna be using a sheet of wood for the bottom seal. Will make a template with cardboard. It will be further back than the side seals. So it will run along the whole front of the box, then when it reaches the edge of the box its gonna start going up, behind the fiberglass seals. And I will foam the gap that is between the back of the fiberglass and the sheet of wood. Won't be able to see the foam.

Gonna need some bondooooooooooo
