audiofanaticz Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Here is a enclosure for a pair of CT Sounds Tropo 8v2 subs I just finished. Just need to get it packaged up and on its way to Lufkin Texas it goes! Had to make a new port, I remembered the wrong and not the number I needed to cut off and the port came up too short. Glad I caught it before gluing it in otherwise the entire box would have to be rebuilt. Didnt feel like cutting down my new 4by8 sheet of HDPE to make some router templates, so I just used some scrap wood to cut down to get the job done. Just a simple brace since the space was tight inside the box, adding a center line of the brace would reduce the opening down from 60sq inches and make it awfully close to the cone area and that is no bueno! Cut out a second piece to beef it up without reducing the area, and hit it with a small Sweep bit. Also used a medium sized Sweep bit on the end of the port. Had to wait for some orders to show up so I could progress on the build, needed to measure the new style SMD terminals for the cutout, and was pretty much out of wire as well.

audiofanaticz Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Perfect fit, the larger cutout is for the carpet gap. Crimped, soldered, and covered with some SMD heat shrink. No more pesky black/red rubber boots. Looks so much better! Got the wires attached to the SMD terminals. Terminals are installed. I guess I forgot to take pics during the carpeting process. Oh well.
