Ok thanks. I was tempted to do a stacked style box, but I don’t want to take the time. Especially not for a box I am testing and will probably sell.

So here is a quick render of the test box. Right now the plan is a simple black carpet with some 4 way stretch carbon fiber vinyl. Also each coil will have it's own terminal on the outside of the box. that way switching loads will be quick and easy.

I already have most of the boards cut. I hope to have everything but the kerf cut tomorrow on my lunch break.

I think I am going to start with 2. If I need more, then I can always do a box with 4 and sell this box. I want to see what 2 sound like, then go from there. Besides harder to convince my why we need 4 in there when she is ok if none are in there. :D

Wish I could sell my wife on them. She set in the Bimmer with the remote gain about 1/4 where i listen to it, and the radio about half and she climbed out saying it was way too loud. :) Granted I don't play it that loud all the time, but If I want to relax and get lost for a little while I tend to crank it up.

Box put on semi hold. I decided to get some of the smart corners from mobile solutions instead of doing the kerf. I didn’t want to take the time to strengthen the kerfed board. And I figured I would use these in the future. Now I have to wait for them to come in. Also ordered the vinyl and carpet. I will do the cuts for the subs his weekend if I have time. Hopefully next week the stuff will be here and I can start building.

Interesting, never knew those existed. Still I would probably just kerf it. Never had a problem with strength. I always fill the cuts with wood glue before I bend it and it ends up pretty solid. But I havent done it one large sub builds. Just a single 10 or some speaker pods.
