-Hobby- Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Have been plunking away for the past several months trying to put my shop together. Went from a 3000 sq ft shop to an 800 sq ft shop. Its realy tight in the new shop, not even enough room for all my tools. Good thing is its in my back yard now and not 40 minutes away. Space is tight so I had to be imaginative with the sub box. Figured why not use the rafters and put the box in the ceiling. Nothing special but it should work out good. Will have my old 10" Type-R in it and I will use the amp from the house to power it. Box is 1.5 cubes, slot ported and tuned to 34hz. The rafters Speakers in the back MDF ready to go Edited November 10, 2009 by HobbyWerks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hobby- Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 The little baby 10 Laid out the port, cut a few pieces of MDF then glued and stapled it together. Routered the edges and smoothed it out before stapling it to the top. Shot it with some black primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 well it looks good so far, although when you mount the woofer to the rafters i would put a few sheets of dynamat down so help stop rattles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hobby- Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Glued stapled and screwed the top assembly to the rafters. You can see how the one rafter is the side of the port in this pict. Even have a brace screwed to the middle of the box to help hold the sub up and stiffen the top. Had to caulk the sides too, to many gaps between the old rafter and the MDF side piece. Glued and stapled the face into place. Used a few clamps to keep things tight until the glue sets up. Will take those down tomorrow and mount the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty old galvanized roof and small pieces of metal everywhere. I have had music out there for a while but never but the sub back in. Had a 12" TC-9 in the old shop but thats going in the house. I cant take having no bass in the shop anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hobby- Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Heres picts of the stereo and computer. Low budget Pioneer stereo I picked up at Best Buy a few years back. Have some Polk rear channels on the shelf to the left and right. Dont have the amp out there yet. Will hook that up tomorrow when I mount the sub. The computer is in a custom case lol. I always wanted to just mount the parts to the wall so I went ahead and did it in the new shop. Syill need to mount the CD drive. Connect to the house with the wireless adapter to access my music on the main system. Its all old hardware but its still chugging away.

-Hobby- Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I do sheetmetal work out there. Its a noisy job. All I hear is banging and rattling all day when im out there. Hopefuly it wont be too bad. In the last place every thing on my work bench would rattle and bounce around and that was with the sub in a box sitting on the floor 20 feet away.
