A shop built this tons of pics what do u think


Recommended Posts

Don’t think that’s all that bad , they could have painted it . It is a custom box here’s some you can buy online granted they are more popular people. And for hair tricks don’t think so maybe if it was in a Smart car. You have to remember a lot of the guys on this site build there own boxes even me and wood , screws and glue is cheap but the tools are expensive and need to be paid for plus experience. I like the bracing and the box looks clean as for sound if it doesn’t sound right bring it back. Those speaker wires do look like 18gauge. Lol

I wish I could use some of the diagrams people have made for SP4s here but they used Photobucket which expired them. I would rather pay for the tools one time and be able to build boxes than getting cheated honestly.

honestly the price you paid is pretty close to what should be charged for what you would have got. however there are things I question about the build as well as the "windy" and "hair trick" promise. the cuts seem to not be from a jigsaw for the sub woofer cut out. the internal bracing doesn't have rounded edges. where the joints are, there is no seal from either wood glue, silicone, or caulk. as for the windy part, they should be able to show you a box design with port velocity. for the hair trick part, that's a promise too far considering it's a single 15. while it's more common to see a hair trick on 5k, it's not so common to do a hair trick on a single 15. also a hair trick is what in this promise?, i'm thinking making a chic look like Medusa not the tips of a girls hair raise up a little.

if nothing changes, nothing changes

If you build a box right you dont need silicone to seal it. Also there is very obviously wood glue used by looking at the pics.

I think maybe your expecting more but instead of looking at the box how is your electrical and what amp U running. If your electrical is shit U might  only be running like 1200 watts . U better have a H.O Alternator   and some batteries or your wasting all our time. I think the price was fair minus the 12 dollars for spray paint.

That’s solid we got to ask all the questions to make sure everything else is good. I say push it hard for a couple weeks see if the sub loosens up. I can’t say I’ve ever seen one sub do hair tricks though but on 5k should still slam like while driving should be  rattling your brain. I’ve never had a sub I can say after a couple weeks actually got louder by ear though, they’ve always just slammed from the beginning.Not a big believer in the break in period bullshit people preach.
