dsw422 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ok.. so I'll keep this updated as build goes on.. so here is first port piece cut.. the notch is where the flange will go. I normally don't have edges on bottom of the box, but in this case, I wanted the flange to be as strong as possible so it's edge will have to be on the bottom.. if you don't understand, I'll explain with pictures later on in build.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vil Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 What materiel will you be using to seal the two halves together? I assume you'd want something like butyl rope, so that it doesn't literally glue the two sides together if you ever need to break it down for removal?

I assume you'd want something like butyl rope, so that it doesn't literally glue the two sides together if you ever need to break it down for removal? I'll be using silicone.. it doesnt necessarily "glue" itself to the mdf.. it just seals the space.. it actually separates very easily. Though i did think of using foam tape of prolly 1/4" thickness, but silicone will work best to seal in my opinion.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEvil Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 weather strip would be best probably, fairly easy to split apart vs silicone which will become glue when its compressed together like that. anyways, first idea is the best one and if you wanted flooring screws would be fine to hold the halves together, just pre-drill holes in "top" part and use plenty of screws..

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

I might try using the weatherstripping foam tape first.. if it don't work like I would like, I'll use silicone 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 OP you should try to fit the port section with the sub section already in, hopefully it will work out but then who knows, I would have probably done cardboard tests of both parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already made and test fit cardboard mock ups.. I actually just test fit the tacked together port section in the trunk.. so now all I gotta do is pull it back apart and glue it up. Then build the box section.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
