First box built

Recommended Posts

Idk if this is the right place for this but i finally built my first box. In the past I would help my cousin with my enclosures since he is a hell of a lot more experienced then I am but I finally decided i had to do it some time. Did have some help from a friend clamping, sanding helping me flare the port but 95% was just me. Box is 4.2 ft^3 tuned to 32hz.

^^ Inner part of the port (that is why I didnt mind the burns too much, and because I sanded them out later in the build)

^^ This is where i messed up from getting too excited and cut my speaker holes with quick measurements and didnt quite have room for the pvc coupling to fit between the speakers

Circles arent perfect in this picture but I did do some work to them after, no one would even see them to notice but it did bother me. Will load more after class. If this is in the wrong place MODs please move it and I apologize.

I will upload the "finished" product after class. its been done a few weeks just Havent had the time to post it. And no it is for two 12"s the port is 8" PVC. My grandpa (the older guy in the assembly pic) owns majority Pimental Guitars...so I was using some of the best equipment (during the buil i found out tight bond makes a glue specifically for him) I could for this. And he made damn sure that I did it right and that I did it on my own!

^^ This paint looks cool as hell in the sun. its black until light reflects off of its gold flakes and gives it a super dark bronze volor

I was in such a rush from all the excitement I completely spaced rounding the edges like I originally planned. I am planning on repainting it though so I may do it then. The two holes at the bottom of the port are for the knu speaker wire and was sealed from the inside after installation, along with the inner port being painted.
