Chris Hammer Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Also I am running my power wire through the factory grommet by the driver side door. And it was a PITA to get it through there. LOL I have 4 4ga runs going through the same grommet on my truck, had to use lube to get them all through lol. But at least there is a practical and easy way on select chevy trucks, my gf car is retarded trying ot find a good place to run wire.

Krakin Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 That's what I'd do. Drill holes and use a jigsaw lol. Your shit is so clean for bare mdf. Any plans on painting it yet? I think white/black would look killer I have cut every board with a jigsaw haha. We have those big saws, skill saws, and a table saw but I don't like the inconsistency of them. What I plan on doing is making the amp rack black carpet and the box a faux leather or real depends on cost. going to put a foam padding all over the box before a cover to make it soft. But before any of that I need to finish up all of the woodwork. Also I am running my power wire through the factory grommet by the driver side door. And it was a PITA to get it through there.

I had to use lube and solder the wire to a welding rod to have something to pull it through instead of just wasting my time pushing it through.

Krakin Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just saw the videos that shogen posted on the other thread of flaring. I might do it if I'm not to happy with these results but I don't really like the look of the flares, and of course I know that it all depends on the bowl.

Krakin Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Long time since I have done anything with the build. Started working on a new port design since I am tired of messing with aeroports. Also switched over to Google Sketchup. I like it a whole lot more for box designing than Inventor. So much easier to move you cut outs around to see what works best.

bigmescan Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 just a suggestion...everyone that has guided me says if port is 4in you want atleast that off of a loading wall...in your case would be passenger side wall. should help with noise. im only suggesting this for your next build.

Krakin Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks for the advice. But how far is the recommended distance for loading off a 4 inch port? Changed my design a bit so I don't have port sticking over the amp rack, so that I can position my amps how I want.

bigmescan Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 everyone told me 4in...and that was when i had a 4in aero and a reg port......reason i believe this is when door was open it was alot less loud and port noise was apparent, so im assuming the farther the port is from any loading wall it wont sound as good SONY XAV-701HDRF power 400.4 RF power 1000bd 3 Sundown x8's d22004 f150 single cab2 sets of components MB quart 6.5 onx (2 tweets 2 6.5 perdoor)stock batt up fronBIG 3http://www.stevemead...-vid-pg-11-922/http://www.youtube.c.../TheBigmescan74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 For my setup ~2 inches away from the wall sounds best. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hmm. I might move my box to the other side, I think there is about 2-4 inches from the B-pillar. everyone told me 4in...and that was when i had a 4in aero and a reg port......reason i believe this is when door was open it was alot less loud and port noise was apparent, so im assuming the farther the port is from any loading wall it wont sound as good I have noticed with the passenger door open there is much more noticeable noise. I've got my last test tomorrow so lets hope I can get some stuff done.

Krakin Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have almost exactly 3 inches from where the port would finish if I ported driver side.
