BigOso Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Posted July 18, 2007 I got some more work done today. I got the ports cut and the first layer of my baffle cut. I had first made the baffle one piece which took a long ass time laying everything out. So after cutting the baffle out, the hole for the port, and the sub holes I decided I would put in the ports. Cutting the ports was no easy task either since both the top and bottom of my box slopes. After a little bit of math and engineering I finally got them where I wanted them which should make tuning around 35htz. Well after installing the ports I tried to test fit the baffle once again to make sure everything lined up and whatya know it wont go in So now instead of a one piece baffle it will be in 2 pieces.

BigOso Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Posted July 19, 2007 Well it was assholes and elbows today. I did the first coat of resin in the car because I had plenty of other stuff to accomplish after. After the resin was done I decided I would cut my second baffle pieces. After realizing I had run out of wood it was off to the depot. So after an hour at the depotit was back to work. Atfer the baffles were cut I decided to tackle the trunk and try to get that organized. Made a template for the trunk floor then I cut it out of 3/4 MDF. Realizing I needed to have access to the lil spare tire I cut it in half so I could pull one piece out and access my tire. I drilled 3 holes in the back of the bard by where the batteries are going so I could bring my wire up into the trunk. Fortunately I was able to reuse the piece of stock carpet that came out. Well after that was done I figured hell I might as well get the wire ready for the batts. So I broke out the torch and the soldier and soldiered all my ring temrinals onto the wire. I couldn't get my wife to help so there are a couple pics of a quick little jig I made to help hold the wire while I was soldiering. Enough rambling and onto the pics. 1st coast of resin both baffles glued and screwed together. the jig I made in about 10 seconds some soldering going on me hard at work trunk with the batts loaded and wire brought up through the trunk 2006 SPLMAX Bass Race Competitor of the Year 2006 Bass Race 156 points Team DC Sounds Team Maxxsonics Team HR Team Second Skin Team Hooker Audio http://dcsoundlab.com/ 2006 Bass Race 156 points 2008 Starting from scratch
