kickerlivinloud Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ok I decided to get working on my new box for my incoming IA DP 15". This is by far the most complicated box I have every built. There is no way to show it in design, I'm kinda building it in place. Here are a couple pics of my progress so far... Here are the first 2 peices... Working around the stupid hump in the back wall. The real trouble is the humps on the side, they are at an angle and larger then the one I already have boxed in. You can kinda see them on the far side in the second picture. I'm heading back down to the shop to do some more work so expect more pictures coming... Update! Here is a picture of the back, this is at a slight angle which is causing all sorts of hell with trying to line everything up. Side piece is on but it is not cut correctly (fixed it after I took more pics) Another shot Don't worry, those are all temporary pieces. I have a crap load of extra MDF cuttings so I decided to use them. I wasn't really sure exactly how I was gonna do everything so I just used trial and error to figure out what works best Once again, those are all test pieces. The only "good" pieces I have are in the first 2 pictures. Pretty much the bottom, back, and the small hump. Here is what the internals looks like, I have a plan for them so when I'm done they'll be nice and clean. Another close up of the internal driver side. Well thats all I got for tonight. I started working on the box around 2pm this afternoon and its 9:30 now. I did redo my design a couple of times and I had a lot of displacements to play with (you'll see what I mean when I'm done). If all comes out well this will be 3.67ish@32Hz with 60"^2 of port. I was originally going to try 100"^2 then I went to 75 and now I decided 60 will work the best.

kickerlivinloud Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 you should seriously try fiberglassing. this is one way in which it will help a shit ton. Yea I've been thinking that since I started this build. I've wanted to try it but just haven't had the energy to go and buy everything and try it. Also its a challenge to do this complicated a build with wood, and I'm always up for a challenge!! Thanks for the comments so far guys!!!! Jon Incriminator Audio: No Chrome, No Carbon Fiber, No BS!!

sean 371 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 That looks like a crazzzy endeavor, looks great though. How many clicks do you expect to lose?

kickerlivinloud Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 That looks like a crazzzy endeavor, looks great though. How many clicks do you expect to lose? I'm not sure. this box is the same depth as my last box I had so I'm used to driving with the seat forward a bit. I'm 6'3" and I could shift comfortably with the old box. This one is actually 1/2" smaller so I might be able to put it back even farther. Jon Incriminator Audio: No Chrome, No Carbon Fiber, No BS!!

sean 371 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I hope you have or are going to take out those worthless 5x7's. I used to drive a ranger and there was really no point in even having any rear speakers in a truck that small.

Slinky Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I would def fiberglass the inside of that box to be safe. it looks good but it looks like it could be weak.
