gckless Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Posted May 21, 2014 Been going pretty slow, been doing alot on the new bike lately. Here's all I have done: Need to order the paint for the port to match the basket and figure out the best way to put this together. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

gckless Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Posted May 23, 2014 Already messed up. Put the upper side panel on before I put the port section in, so I can't screw the side of the port into the upper port section. Shouldn't be a huge deal, I'll just shove some wood in there while the glue dries so it's tight. Ordered the paint for the port and inside the box, and ordered some white LEDs as well for inside the box. Turns out the basket paint probably doesn't glow under UV, so going with white instead.

gckless Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Posted May 24, 2014 Remember when I said it would barely fit? Well, I wasn't joking: This port is freakin' huge. Glued the inside pieces together and dropped them in, but I will be taking them out to throw some bondo in the port corners. Dry fit with the back: "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

gckless Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 Got the back glued on: Took the port back out to do the roundover on the port edges, both inside and outside: Can't do 45's, so I'm just putting a block in to fill space. I will be doing a smooth round corner with Bondo. I envy you guys that have shops or even garages. Doing all this in my spare room lol. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

gckless Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Posted May 26, 2014 First coat of Bondo: Second coat: Not gonna worry about getting the curve perfect, just want it smooth. This is almost a gallon of Bondo already lol. Also picked up some 1.25" dowels. Should keep it fairly stiff. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

thefourth Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Shaping up nicely. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

gckless Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Posted May 28, 2014 Got a bunch done tonight. Did some sanding. I HATE sanding. Shot it with primer to see what it will look like. I'm saying F it, I'm leaving it like this, I don't even care. I HATE sanding! 1.25" dowels for support: Put the plexi mounting ring in: Put the port back in just to fit for the top pieces. First baffle: Second baffle: Still got a bunch left to do actually. Turning out to be more work than I expected in order to finish it the way I want. Oh well, should turn out good, and it's not like I've got the SHD yet. Also got the paint. Green for the port, white for the inside: And the lights for the inside as well. Yep, they're vehicle fog lights lol. I figured they'd be strong enough to hold up for a little while. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.
