Box build for 2 RS 12's With Vids

basshead4life · January 15, 2010

Okay so after hearing from some people that the cold weather call ruin subs, and all the moisture from living on the coast dont help i went and bought some stuff to make a temp. box for 2 12's i had sitting around. all this was gonna go in my mystique... then the tranny went. so i put off building the box until i got rolling again. well long story short i bought a car for $250 that i thought i was gonna have to fix up to get rolling. turned out it had a leaky base pan and a low oil shut off so i have to put about 1/2 quart of oil every week or so but no one believes its that same crappy car that sat on the wharf for about a year.

the box was built to fit my alpines which proved to be a problem that you'll see later on. And this is the first box ive made using decent bracing, 45's, or wood glue. but those other boxes were before i discovered SMD. anyway on to the pics.

wood all cut

some all thread and nuts (slightly over kill for the subs im using)

Then theres the subs. They are 2 RS 12's that i found in the garbage and i never leave a fallen woofer behind

Before i fixed them

then after my repairs

Thats right RS stands for Radio Shack. i knew that if i put Radio Shack no one would look

Just dry fitting the box together. God damn thing kept falling over so i duct taped it together.

With the lid on

And 45's

i couldnt find tite bond anywhere. Gorilla glue was like $16 for a little 2oz bottle. so it was either elmers or this.

My pilot bit

and counter sink bit

I had already bought a real counter sink bit but i lost it and i was too cheap to pay another $2.99 for a new one

I didnt get to take too many pics while i was actually building it.

These go between the port wall and the back wall.

The 2 pieces coming together.

And with everything glued and screwed in place

I decided to try some thing with the dust left in the box from cutting the sub holes out. i will now never cut mdf near and open flame.

So like i said earlier i made to box to fit my alpines but...

little did i know they had different sized mounting holes. so they got inverted.

Edit: due to epic picture posting fail.
