mklett33's Slow but sure Build log (Taurus BTL 2200 Watts Rms!)


Recommended Posts

So guys my Taurus has went through many a system but is time to let loose and get it to the point I have always wanted. Crisp clean highs and solid bottom end, by no means "sq" perfect but close as I can still being loud.

Plans include:

AQ2200D Amplifier

Fi BTL 15" Loaded D2

2 Batteries

Upgraded Alt

1/0 Gauge Runs and Big 3 (Complete)

Fully Deadened Front doors (Complete)

Trunk Deadened

4 Cubic Foot Box at 34 Hz with Kerfs (In progress)

Pioneer Door Speakers and 12 Gauge Ran through molexes (Complete)

Amped Front Speakers off Profile AP400 (Complete)

Some pics of the big 3

Started the box:

Here is a sketchup model of it, the front will be double baffled, hence the offset you will see inthe build pics, so far there is only the back section

Thanks guys, I already got a pm with questions about the kerf here is a quick response, on my next one I will take more pics

"In a basic explanation you run a circular saw in parallel lines that nearly cut all the way through the mdf but leave about 1/16-1/8 an inch. To get a 3 inch radius I did 11 cuts at 1/2 inch intervals,for 6 inch just do 11 at 1 inch. When you go to bend the wood you slowly work it back and forth in order to avoid it snapping. Then clamp it in place (you dont have to do 90 degree angles) and fiberglass it together, it went pretty smoothly, just make sure your lines are real straight, a table saw with fence would be optimum but I got away with just using a jig I made with my circular saw"
