Glad to see you enjoying your router

You seem to be doing well with it so far (work is beautiful thus far), and it will only get better with experience and more bits.

Make sure to brace everything you can, baffle walls included

Looks great man, can't wait to see the finish! Really nice craftsmanship!!!

Thanks!

Love it....stood in Lowes the other day looking through all the bits....can't wait to get more.

Planning on it! Thanks!

So, I decided I wanted to make sure the baffle had as much support as I could give it so I made a couple changes.

Cut off 3/4" from each inner side and made new port pieces......

The blade I had to use to cut through the baffle did a horrible job....cuts were terrible (was pretty pissed) but with a little sanding it didn't turn out too bad. With a little wood glue, added bracing which I already planned on adding and some bondo glass (tiger hair), it should be solid.

(picture below is with pieces just propped up).

Looking sweet man. I personally would do some type of window brace in between the sides of the box and the port walls along with at least one piece of birch or mdf in between the port walls. It adds a little more surface area in there, but it will make that port so much stronger in the long run which is a big deal with those subs. Awesome choice in equipment by the way. Good work.

I'm planning on putting in some 3/4" pipe and flanges from top to bottom and port wall to side wall (each side).

I considered putting something between the port walls but didn't want to take away from port area.....

Thanks man!

looking good!

Go with pipe or rod to maintain area but maintain strength

Also, a round piece will no implement any port noise, or very minimal

you got my attention, curious, how those subs treat that box.

Any concerns or suggestions?

nothing imparticular just workin with a similar sub , not sure if im feelin my box design gonna have to wait n see after I drop the subs in to see the output...

Finally figured out how I wanted to brace the front baffle.....should add a little more strength.

*This will be in each corner of both front baffles (8 total).

This weather is really slowing everything down with the build but will hopefully have the box done by this weekend.

Here's a few pics in the meantime to keep this log alive!
