32 Sundown E8's (re)build

[Torres]

got an update. i have good news and bad news. the good news is:

:censored: :censored: :censored:

or could be bad news...considering how you look at it well...yanked the rings outas you can see. the more i looked at it...the more i figured they wouldnt be able to fit. got the bottom ones in...but you couldnt see some, some blocked the port a little (had some distance with clearance, but didnt sit well with me) and the 2 next to the port were almost blocked by the 2 in the middle. so...time to restart. i was lookin forward to the neat lookin curves and all from the box...but just not gonna happen. no more back seats now. i was kinda glad gettin back but eh...so be it. they're just collecting clothes, garbage, and empty vodka bottles

HOWEVER...there are many good things to come of this (really good news)

1. i now have proper airspace. last one was about 14 cubes, this one is a good 19 cubes. .6 per woofer which is what jacob recommends

2. i also now have proper port area. just over 12 sq inches per foot. port will be 5.75" high, 40" wide. going across the whole box.

3. the length of the port will be about 18" long, tuning it to around 31 to 32 hz

4. and my confidence

5. much smaller cabin to pressurize which hopefully means more deebeez!

now i have the proper airspace, port area/volume, and my desired tuning. and that sits better with me. rather do this right the first time instead of wasting my time on somethin that wont work out. at least i didnt waste all that resin and matting. yay me

did get a little progress done tho, between workin on my friends panel for his celica which i only got 2 pics of lol. ima post em in the other thread anyway

that's how it sits now. i will also be able to double baffle the speakers which i'm glad for, and i can put 16 on top and 16 on bottom, and when it gets time to wire, that'll ease things up a big visually at least. i might sneak a plexi window in the back just to see the crazy wire mess. but i dno yet. i should also be able to get this box done quicker, seeing as how i'm better with wood than fiberglass. no time consuming layup either. maybe next time

EDIT: sorry timmy

[Toxiccasper]

Woohoo, was kinda hoping you would just dump the back seats lol

[Torres]

lol yeah. feel kinda better doin it. more confident on how it'll all sound now. and i can get a lil trickier on the finish. wanna use a suede like material, maybe on the baffle, maybe gloss paint on the sides of the inside, maybe the truck bedliner stuff on the sides, woodgrain in the port with some lights on the inside. not 100% on anything. i do know i wanna use some wood grain on the back

I'm liking this install better now.

[Chode69]

im glad your going this way...i feel you will get a getter sound, more controlled ending instead of wondering...WTF and its a WHOLE lot less of a headache with the glassin and rings and dowel rods

still tuned in like a mofo!!! i see this being SOTM worthy with NO problem

[Toxiccasper]

Why are you using titebond 1 and titebond 2 lol

[Torres]

WOOT! SOTM here i come! lol that'd make me happy. hopefully i can make it pretty

lol i've been usin the same titebond. the other is leftover or for somethin else. i think there's a bottle of elmers wood glue too. ima get a big jug of wood glue and just refill bottles so...yeah.

[Toxiccasper]

lol ok just wondering, but things looking good so far
