Thanks for the help. Being an engineer, I CAD'd the box to the dimensions and specs I wanted and made a cut list, got the wood and built the box this weekend. here are some shots of the project;

Yesterday I only had enough carpet to do the sides, which was ideal because I wanted to install the port and the terminal cup yesterday and ideally over the carpet to give a proper finished look. Also, all interior joints sealed after assembly using PL premium to ensure a proper seal throughout. Double baffle used for the front wall for a bit of extra strength. Here is what I got finished yesterday;

hen, as I went to mount the sub, I noticed one of the tinsel leads on the inside was broken off! I was retty annoyed. Luckily, my roommate had a soldering kit (I leave mine up north where I was yesterday for most of the build) and I was able to solder it back on. Checked the impedance across that coil and checked out So who knows how long it has been like that? Anyways, I really hope it stays attached but seemed okay during testing.

After soldering was done I mointed the sub...was a tight fit so had to cut the carpet on the inside diameter to squeeze it in. Looks great though I think!

Amp rack cover to be done next time I get some free time!!

oh and BTW...it sounds AMAZING. couldn't believe how much louder it was than my sealed 0.75 cu. ft enclosure I had before. Just shows you that the box has a big effect in the system.
