Thanks much. As far as a template- I just got the center of where the sub was, then screwed in my ruler. I drilled a hole in the ruler where the cutout diameter was and boom. Perfect circles, and no floppy subs. And you never know... I started with 1 12" a looong time ago. The wood is 1" mdf that was from tables. Laminated on one side. It was going to be waste, so- I'm gonna' give it new life.

BAH!!! I would still be cutting! Yeah- 12 was enough! I can't imagine what must have been about 4 times as much cutting! I didn't even double baffle. I am just going to put braces no more than 1-2 inches from the sub cutouts.

I could have fit 4 wide... but now the inside width is 47". So- If i want to put 16 of whatever, they will have to be 10s. Don't have any more pics for now. Gonna' be a slow build unfortunately. It makes me wicked mad- the weather is mostly nice and all I want to do is play with my speaker box- but noooo- I have to work and go to bachelor parties (Woo Hoo MASTADON in New Orleans!), and weddings, and so forth. It will get done though. I will keep on posting them up as I get things done.

Thanks Guys.

I redid the bolts. I know there is nothing to scale this to, but the back 2 hooks are as big as you index finger, and the front 2 spots have 2 hooks each- one running opposite of the other. If this box comes out in an accident, I am dead from the crash anyway.

Told you guys it was ghetto fab. Fan pulling out fumes and moving around air. Hopefully help stuff cure a bit faster and completely.

From the front- all screwed and glued. Just need to smooth things out on this side and carpet / finish.

I like this one. The money shot for me at least. My old box didn't vibrate and this one is 10x stronger. It sounds like you are hitting a solid wood wall wherever you tap it.

Stuff has to cure out for a while, then I think I am going to paint the entire inside of the box to "seal" it and make it smoother. Basically b/c I want to for whatever reason. For the font of the box, I am thinking about a gray fabric for the face where the subs are, and then blue to match the interior on the vanity panel that will cover the gap. What you guys think?
