Eric B Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 So last night I built my box for my 15" BL that im getting this summer unless plans change, and one of my friends sold my paintball hopper and nitrogen tank and got $110 outta the deal, after I completed my box I put my 12" type-r in there(the box is 4cu. ft. @30Hz) I knew it was too big for a 12, but I said what the hell, Ill try it out. Well it was alright but you could tell that box was way too big, so I was messing around on the net at school today and saw the old Punch Stage 2 15" for $90 on crutchfield and said what the hell Ill get it, I mean my amp puts out 300wrms(yea i know i was choking my type-r, but it was loud for being underpowered) and the P2 needs 250wrms so I figured for $90 what the hell it should be louder than my type-r, I knew i should have saved up for a new amp but I couldnt pass this up. It should be here later this week, ill post pics up...

Cloak559 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Question # 1: How thick is the Plexi you used? Question # 2: Is that Birch you used? Question # 3: Does your box have a bottom to it? It looks like the trunk carpet.... Quote 2001 Blazer Pioneer 5900IB - (2) DC Level 3 10"s - Sundown 1500D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the trunk carpet.... 1. it was the thickest they had at lowes, idk at the top of my head, but i need to put a brace down the middle of it though because it flex 2. Yes it is Birch 3. Yes it has a bottom thats just the spray paint color, it has texture to it...

And those ports don't have a whole lotta port area, so they can be pretty short.
