EAT DIRT Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Sean 371 and I built this box in about a day and a half...woulda been faster but the damn port 45 took forever to sand down....you'll see. Tip: If you don't expand the pictures, they look all jagged....and they're all clean and straight don't worry. Gotta show a lil SMD love: Wood cut: first three walls: port 45 in, this is where we decided to make it more of a perfect circle than a 45: first resin pool: second pool: starting filling: its a very smooth transition for air flow: more filling: painted (it looks a lil rough here, but its not that bad in person. plus it was built for function, not looks.) Port in: Baffle cut: Double baffled of course: Port rounded: Mostly done now, just gotta do some more caulking and repaint the port, and then carpet it. As always, COMMENTS ARE WELCOME! Box is for an Fi 18" Q powered by a kicker zx1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean 371 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 thanks civic and mazda That damn 45 took us till 2:30 last night to get smooth enough. And then we bought some spackle (the white stuff) and filled some more little pinholes with that. My flush rout bit is dyin on me after this build though. I use it whenever I cut a double baffle and MDF burns up any cutting bit a lot quicker than other woods. But this box should hit real hard. It's a tight fit though, right up to the seats, and built all the way back, to the sides, and up to the window line. Anyone have any ideas for amp mounting? We could mount them on the top, but that's in plain view for thieves, although we could flush mount them to hide them a little. Or I was thinking of mounting the zx1000 to one of the sides and his 4 way amp to the other side. Still workin this stuff out.

EAT DIRT Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I was thinking about putting the zx1000 between the sub and the port would this look stupid or could this possibly be a good idea and the speaker amp i could hide under the box becasue its going to sit on a ledge....

EAT DIRT Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 oh yea that is very true mazda, and we were thinking about a flush mount, but since the box is already above the window line, i thought it might attract someone to steal it since the amps would be visbale... and thanks for the comments.

I dunno what you paid for your amp but I wouldnt put a $700 amp one window away from being free, ya feel me?
