First Box Build..

[Aaron813]

too many screw is bad?

Ya it weakens the wood

[Jextel]

Youll be surprised when you here those AQs loud and sound good also

im hoping with this box this will make my subs come alive..last box was 4.8 cu ft before port and displ. @ 35hz

every 6 - 8 is better. and pre-drill your holes, and then counter-sink them.

after you put them back in you'll notice they sit below the surface. get some Elmers wood paste and cover the holes. after it dries, sand it down and you got a screw-less look but still have the strength of the screws holding it rather than just the wood glue, but yea, if you cant see the wood glue dripping you didnt use enough

please dont take non of the criticism the wrong way, we are all here to help man

no no no..im writing all this stuff down..the only way i can get better is to learn from my mistakes

im already designing 2 more boxes i wanna build..

fart box at 52hz and another bass hitter at 40hz but with alillte twist(trying to keep the box low as possible, so the air can travel over it)

then if all else fails im learning how to glass and going to say goodbye to my backseats..lol

yeah bro...I say invest in a brad nailer. No pre-drilling, no countersinking, no dry fit, and no drilling. I loved mine when i worked on my box. I built the entire box in like 45 mins. Not all day like I used to.
