B4SSB0Y Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 This is copied from ROE but seeings nobody ever replies with any insight on my build I figure I'll post on other forums to get some feedback on it. If anything doesnt make sense its because its a few posts put together etc. Well I'll be changing this out yet again next year (maybe) when I get the money for my HDC3's.. But current box I blew my port board out the center (cracked it on both sides of all 8 screws 4 top 4 bottom and the glue joint). So time for a new box, or shall I say Boxes. Well this is as far as I made it for today, but got quite a bit accomplished in the 3 hours I spent working on it. (Not to mention I cant just leave everything out, I have to store everything in my shed which is a pain right now with another 4x8ft of 3/4mdf in there. Doing 2 seperate boxes to gain more cuft per sub this time around. Each box is right around 2 cuft after and port disp. Onto the pics Painted the port after gluing it in, then put the side once I was happy with the 4 coats of paint. Another shot of the painted port. Side painted before putting it on. All done other than cutting the sub hole, fiberglassing all the joints and putting the top on. I plan to do atleast the bottom and 4" up the sides if not all of the box in resin. This way if my trunk leaks my box wont be destroyed again.

B4SSB0Y Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well got a little bit of work done today, nothing big but got the first box nearly done. All thats left to do is fiberglass the top to the sides from the inside and coat the box in resin to make it water proof incase the trunk decides it needs water in it again >.< Really happy with the way it has came out so far, I know I dont really need to fiberglass the corners but I want to be sure there are no leaks and hey added strength cant hurt.

B4SSB0Y Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well Spent the most of my day after work (got out early) working on cuttin the boards and building the second box. Got them both glassed on the insides and resin'd on all joints outside (to ensure no leaks, I hope). After getting everything cut and mostly together I realized that some boards were ~1/8th off, double checked them and realized the tip on the tape measure was loose through the entire build of this box. Luckily the port was very close to where it should be (less than a 1/16th off) so I just let it go. Well heres a bunch more pics of the build up of the box, Hoping to get my amps and old box out of the Neon tomorrow and get these fitted in so I can figure out how to mount the amps and such. Mostly done with cutting all sides. Bottom, Side and Rear plate screwed and glued. Painting of the port internal. Port internal and what I'll consider external all painted up. Where the port will be on the box, painted before putting port/front on. Port and Front plate before I put them in the box. Just a shot of my work area, saw horses FTW. Screwed and glued in. You can faintly see my markings of where the port is on the outside, I build the L port and put the front plate on so I can put them on the top/bottom plate and outline where the will be. Saves time and hassle this way, no measuring or anything. Starting to glass. Boxes both done, Took me a few hours to glass the inside of the top plates. Plus a break to snack haha.

nautical7 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nice setup. And for your water problem you said you had, check the tail light seals as they tend to go bad on 95-99 neons. I had one a few years ago and had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
