Looks like I was 'stuck' with the flat wall. Once I finally decided on the final baffle orientation it was time to make the final baffle.

Here it is roughly cut out, only thre layers thick

Keep in mind this is only roughly cut out, and not screwed together, just sitting in place.

I decided five layers should be plenty, here they are roughly cut out and loosely screwed together in a sandwich so I can drill the centres for the woofers, this is for the router jig to run off, so they all are in pretty much the same spot. Saves marking shit out five times!!

So I cut the first two layers out only, just to make sure everything lines up, you can see the first laye is the flush layer, with the second being the layer the subs mount to. I wanted to make sure nothing was screwed up before I cut all five out.

Here it is sitting in the car.. it's rough here.. I know

So then I proceeded to cut out all five layers when I was happy with it all. I test fitted a sub just to check a few things

Keep in mine this is only loosely and roughly assembled with only two or so screws per layer holding it together, I trim everything dead true and laminate the sheets together properly soon

A shot from the rear, I gave the last layer a light shamfer to hopefully help turbulence. This isn't an SPL car, but I like to do what I can.

All comments welcomed and appreciated

Thanks

You skills are amazing!!! I hope my next box come out even close to that... and it'll only be 2 12s lol

Thanks mate.

But this is 'rough as guts' at the moment - bit of aussie slang there for you

I can build these with my eyes closed luckily, I've done quite a few now. But always learning to get it better, I've taken a break for about six years so I'm a bit rusty.

There's a whole bunch of guys out there who can run rings around me for days, this is just a little side project for me to tinker with over winter.

Things get a lottidier over the next series of pics. I'll try my best to get them up soon for you guys

4 18s in a lexus, I tip my hat to you sir.

You know what? I don't even know the sizes off the top of my head, I can't get to the car until next week now so I can't really help sorry man.

4x18s should be easy in a USA SUV, providing you've got the height to stack the woofers vertical and not have to stagger them like I did. The sunroof really hurt me here.

Depends on the orientation I guess, if you want port middle, driver's side... etc.
