SMOKEYSGIRL's First Build (Fiberglassed Sub Box)


Recommended Posts

Posted

We had extra wood layin around and figured it'd be a great idea to start on the enclosure for my ColoradHO (for u Chode ) The system will consist of RF Power Series Components, 1 4 Channel RF Power Series amp (2009 model), last but not least 1 single 10" FI SSD subwoofer!

First we took the measurements (Kaimana's(smokeumtires for all you newbs) been teaching me step-by-step, so im the one with the dirty hands this time)

Imma Just post pics...Cause I dont know how to explain this stuff well enough yet

DAY 1

Keep in mind... Im not cuttin the wood, Mana is. I dont have the hand 4 routers and saws just yet I just measured everything and cut the cardboard for the curves

Then We wrapped it in fleece...and he handed me the stapler and said "MAKE SURE theres no wrinkles!" After bout 30min this is the result

I'm lacking funds, but food stamps pays my bills.

lookin good !

you have a good teacher ;)

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

And After a couple more coats of filler and enough sanding to make Kaimana say FUCK THIS
