Question for experienced box building pros.....

[Fish Chris]

Hey Fritos, well the port will still "exit" from the side, but it won't have to protrude at all. Interesting how as a box gets bigger, the port gets shorter, huh ?

Fiberglass isn't so hard, huh ? Hmmmmm. Well take a look at this, and see what you think.....

Imagine that I want to chop the whole bottom 8 inches off of my doors (the whole map pockets) then > squeeze < in my 8" mid-bass drivers, at the front, underneath the mids, in "sealed" enclosures that integrate right in with the doors :-(

Anyway, the truck is only a year old..... So, needless to say, if I'm going to start chopping on my doors, it "better" be a good, clean job when finished.....

What do you think ?

Peace,

Fish

its the port going to come out the side like the box for the 12's?

and fiberglassin is alot easier than ppl think. make a frame, stretch a good stretchy fabric over it(make this part look good, leads to less finishing work), coat it in resin and let it cure, then start addin some mat( i usually do 2 layers at a time then sand off high spots and bubbles, then gets some short strand fiberglass filler to even it all out. sand sand and sand.. and your done.. it makes doors heavy though

wats your port area to cubic foot ratio? Ive been building bigger boxes but still have long ports, but i have alot of port area and tuning usually around 27~30hz.

for doors. i have and old honda so i just go to a junkyard and a few door panels wheever i wanna do somethin new. but yours might be hard to find. you doors look pretty flat though, you might be able to get away with starting with a piece of mdf and build a skeleton off of it, but make sure you keep the space for atleast the door handle, the switches too, unless you think you can move them around. youd also need a way to attatch the new panel to the door, most likley with bolts
