kingsuv Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 You will use a lot less fleck paint when you prime the box in the base color. Step up your game and use wood filler to fill the screw holes Oh, and next time use wood screws not drywall screws Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loganberry Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 ok, i have 2 new pixs, one is good, and one is bad...i went into town to have lunch with a friend and......well when i got back bad news..i put the box on top of the garage, one to dry cause it has good air flow, and 2 because we have 3 dogs, and i have 2 little brothers...who never stop running, nor watch out...so i come back and well the paint is dry, but my box is on the ground..and not the way i left it.... i honestly have no idea how it happened but all i kno is, the box is now fuckin ugly, i got it put back together as best i could and as it is airtight and stronger than before (as to survive a 20 foot fall next time) it still looks really bad, now here is my question, since i have like 100 bucks into this box, should i just keep it and say whatever, or should i just carpet it or w/e, i think it looks really good with the fleckstone.but idk anyway who wants pix (with no bashing, the box didnt look like this before, had to imprivise) My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 first thing I wanna say is Im not Dogging you at all, this is an Educational Post. 1st thing I see is that your using way to many screws, all the screws do is hold the wood in place while the glue bonds the wood. 2nd thing is, if your gonna use screws pre-drill your holes with a counter sink with pilot bit, this will keep the wood from splitting on your corner screws, and makes the box look 10x more pleasing to the eye as they wont be anyscrews showing after you fill your holes in. you need a corner vise badly, I understand the box fell and what not , but the corner vise will make all your seems smooth and nice if you cut straight. not bad for your first go round but Id toss that thing in the trash and try agian, this time slow down abit, take your time and do it right and you will be much happier with the outcome.
