dwright27 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 I understand the kerfs....but if your willing to share....How do you get the mdf to bend without splitting is there a trick to it? at work we just go 3/4 - 7/8 of an inch through the thickness of the wood. ie: if you have a 3/4" piece of MDF i would prolly go say 1/2" - 5/8" of an inch through the board this allows the boards to bend. Once the kerfs start to pinch on each other, the board stops bending so you make more kerfs if you have to bend it more or want to bend it more. thats how i do it at work and i havent had one returned from QC yet the trick is to leave enough of the wood that that when it bends it doesnt break on the other side. get you a small say 10 X 20 piece and do some kerfs 1/2" through your 3/4" MDF 1/8" apart from one another. youll see how it works. 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

Forevrbumpn Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 sexy box ya got there man what is the tuning? because that is a lot of port area, and very short its LOOKING like at least 40hz I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
Jextel Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 everything looks good bro! one note of advice is if your trying to be loud(SPL comps) i would build the box LOW as possible! Like 8-9" high and have the port with in 5" of the trunk lid..other than that i would say thats a kickass box! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3042878TEAM DEADLY HERTZ "GET LOUD OR DIE TRYIN"only the loudest will survive.
