Ernesto Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 thanks for all the feedback guys ya I'm probably get some different gloves i just using them while cutting wood. Today I just bought another sheet of mdf cuz i don't think one sheet was going to be enough. today I'm try to cut everything but if i dont have time probably will finish cutting everything tomorrow and may start some of the resin. so is this the steps of how i would do the 45s: 1. measure 4-5oz in measuring cup than put 14 drops per oz. 2. tilt the box in certain angle and pour in the resin 3. let it set (it said it needs 2 hr what do you guys usually do and thats It ???? should i just first just pour some in and just get a brush and paint the inside and then do the 45s in each corner( i think this will be easier). let me know whats up and any tips before i proceed with resin If what your trying to do is make 45s with resin, tilt the box at angle and just pour it and let it sit till it's dry...Then do it to every corner..Lol it takes time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need too much bracing for this box thats why I wouldnt fiberglass the inside... I'd just go ahead and do the 45s at every corner.

freestylin Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Here some updates: as you can see the right piece came out a bit off so i got to go back and cut it another piece but for the most part all the pieces are cut out should make a double baffle in the front and what easy way to cut out the speaker hole for an L7 anyone??? also how many ozs of resin should put for each corner ??? and should i take out the screws before i round over the box ???

Forevrbumpn Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I go right over the screws and nails, and just hope I have no open gasoline nearby, thats my fireworks, and it doesn't damage the bits, unless your constantly everyday rounding over screw heads.... BUT your router base wont allow you to go over screws if the stick out a little bit I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Youll have to use a jigsaw to cut your holes unless you have an MDF template already made. Or I guess you could use a hole saw to cut the four corners and just connect them with a jigsaw. A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 or a simple $20 circle jig for routers at Sears, or the $40 Jasper jig perfect circles with no screw ups a jigsaw can do I have a ritual called "terminator".

freestylin Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 would a circle jig work for this because the l7 is more of a square than a circle but i will probably end up using the jigsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
