Richard Trevino Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I am walling off my blazer. Have built a few boxes for it and the pressure just keeps killing them. My last one had corner supports on bottom. Of course top blew. I have decided to just wall the shit off support all corners and run 2×4s across it. And maybe fiberglass corners. I just really need help with tuning and keeping it from busting. I wanna do like a clamshell design. But up and down. Any tips?????
tacomaguy1 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 did you use glue? lol I've never had a box break apart. Do as many layers as you can, brace it good, use good glue and it will be fine Team Flex Issues
ALPINE408 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Fuck 2x4s allthread!!!!!!! Have you ever had your woofers blown?
Sanitarium Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 So... You're gonna build a wall because you can't build a regular box correctly?
Richard Trevino Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 No. Just a shit ton of pressure. More space and more port. Get some more pressure out. Hopefully. And yeah. Liquid nail. Screws ever 5 or so inches. This last one was braced on bottom and top blow. I just got happy and threw the shit in once I got the face on. Lol. Decided to go all out and support it all. Just lookin for tips. I hit 148.4 then the box busted.
Ben Fultz Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 No offense, but I see this going horribly wrong. If your having trouble keeping a standard ported box together, the last thing you want is several 100 lbs. of MDF and subs sitting right near your head just waiting to come apart. My advice is build another box that will stay together. If you choose to still wall it make sure you vid it.
Richard Trevino Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 Lmao. Ok. And no. Wall is gonna be back seat back. Lol. Yeah. I just got lazy on my last one and started beating down once I put the face on without supporting corners on top. That was all me there. Lol
Sanitarium Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Straight cuts, good wood glue instead of liquid nails, double walls on larger unsupported sections, proper bracing, good wood ( MDF, birch ply, NOT particle board) and proper assembly ( I can make a box hold together with 0 screws/nails/fasteners) goes a long way. Don't use a bad box as an excuse to wall, wall because you want to.
Richard Trevino Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah. I just got time to check it out..... and it wasnt the box after all. And now I need to know who can recone my sub. Lol. Either that or I just sell them and call it done.
