andym85 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 its called kerf cuts...u cut through the mdf about 5/8" deep....which leaves 1/8"....he drills holes in the cuts b/c he said he was having trouble with air bubbles when he filled the cuts with resin...the holes allow the air to escape... basically after you have all your cuts, just fill them with glue or resin and bend it...id probably glass over them, but thats just me... i likes me some audio stuff...

sean 371 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 I spent an hour trying these one day, couldnt keep the MDF from breaking...maybe it was because it was a bit older/scrap wood...but the mdf always cracked...I guess I can stick with glassed over cardboard tubing... A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall
Thumpper Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Kerfing takes alot of practice and patience..at the moment I'm just slammed with box orders..maybee I'll work on a how to thread when I get some spare time My Install
RichardXTC Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks Thumper that would be great. Just one question how much longer must the piece of wood be to include the curve...? 2 X 15inch XTB subs1 X Solar Audio 5000dVids:<a href="http://"http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/XTC...dio/xtb15.1.wmv"" target="_blank">http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/XTC...xtb15.1.wmv</a><a href="http://"http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/XTC...dio/xtb15.2.wmv"" target="_blank">http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/XTC...xtb15.2.wmv</a>
