Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Little hickup Also might be rebuilding or trying to figure something out with this box. I'm having some loading issues with the sub that sits on the passenger side and kind of want to tune lower. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 New design. Little less port, little bit lower tuning, only a single baffle instead of a double baffle this time too, all allowing me to shorten my box down a little bit and try to get a little closer to window line so I won't count as super street no wall if I decided to compete at some point. I may try to Frankenstein the existing box since I have enough spare wood to make these changes if I salvage the bottom, back, and two sides. Made up a Google Sketchup, will be tight still but should be good. Now to get the time to work on it...... yeah, we'll see.

Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Got a lil work done.I hadn't realized when I got my MDF from Lowes, that one corner was jacked and looked like it had been dropped.car was on the charger, noticed it got to max chargetook the box outside to do some cutting, the new design calls for a couple of inches shorter, which works out nicely since I damaged the box a little bit getting the top baffle off.Putting the new parts togetherSince the port used to be on the left side, I had rounded off part of it a little bit to try to help get better air flow through the port. After I added the new front wall piece, I filled that area in with some wood filler.Tomorrow I will have a little bit more cutting and a lot of sanding to get to. I hope to have it done by this weekend hopefully before the wife and I take off for a mini vacation and head out to work sites after that.

Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks!Got a little bit more done tonight, letting everything dry right now. Top baffle coming up soon!Drilled and countersunkCan't get much closer than this (supposed to be 5", camera angle makes the right side look a little off) UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 After many, many, failed attempts at putting a 45 on several pieces of MDF, I gave up.Just went out and got some crown molding to do the hump in the middle.I also cut out the baffle, but evidently, didn't take any pics. Gotta do some sanding later tonight, and will take a picture then. Did a little bit more work, need to pick up some more shit. I think I am going to get this running before my travel starting next week and worry about upholstering it in between my projects after this upcoming 3 week span ends and the one in October.Cutting it close lolTest fit the subs, each one has about 1/8" of play so the subs can wiggle a little bit, so that's good.Gonna try to finish up the little things tomorrow night and see if I can't get it in tomorrow.

Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I was trying to use a battery powered circular saw, with a 5" blade. Bitch wandered all over the damn place lol. Anywho, all corners have 45's now, doubt it will make much difference though.Put the top on with a nice bead of glue and letting it sit out to dry now.Holes are already drilled in the back, need to:-make up one more set of wires to go to the passenger side sub-mount/wire subs in box-remove to get the box in-wire up to ampI am really trying to getting it in and playing tonight.
