skittlesRgood Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 actually too many screws can be a very bad thing. if you split the wood, you just made it weaker. use good wood glue, predrill every screw hole, only use a screw where you see a small gap in the seam. you use screws like clamps, they just need to hold it all together until the glue dries. like i said, not trying to insult you. its ok to mess up. when i look at a build i look for something that is wrong and try to help the person learn how to do it better next time.

ch0sen Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 didn't we just have a forum discussion about how caps can be very useful if used correctly with the right electrical to back it up, and didn't they say the caps have no significant power strain at all, idk, just recalling what i read the other day on here, the posts is somewhere, they get pretty technical in there Quote My current 95 Jetta Build w/ pioneer h/u 2 RD Sonance 10's with flatwind coils 2 Audiopipe apsm 1500.1s 1 Hifonics Brutus Elite 60x4 1 XS d925 1 Stinger spv35 1 1000 amp lead acid 50 ft of 0/1 ofc from Audiotechnix all powerbass components, and coaxils, 4 sets buildlog = http://www.stevemead...2-rd-10s-build/ My build for my wife. http://www.stevemead...01-f-150-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrosetiger Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 just FYI you can use bolts instead of running your wires through your box. your box probably leaks bad because of that. its cleaner too and easier to work with Quote 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.

cc_audio Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yikes that box is rough, props for doing it yourself though. Gotta start somewhere. 10.5V ON THE CAP!?! Augh! Ditch the cap, and upgrade your wiring and big three first. Your cap said 10.5 while your amp was prolly seeing less. Quote It's all gone!

genyk789 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 built a new box, figured out my electrical issues as well... just a loose connection at the battery, its going strong now. lemme know your opinions on the new box. tuned @ 38 hzyes construction grade may be a little excessive, but better safe than sorry.

OrionStang Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thought you were gonna use fewer screws this time Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris from Mi Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 damn how big is that port? its huge! and ^x2 you could have easily used half the screws and the box would be just as strong assuming you used wood glue. oh, and one last thing, that box would prbably like some bracing in the middle, i usually use 3/4" or 1" wooden dowel. Other than that the box looks great, how much airspace?
