Sanitarium Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 i could work up a box that would be 7 cubes after displacement to go into that spot which would be on the small side for 2 15's but not out a problem. 18x38x26 port 16.5x5.25x21 single baffle (cause you're not talking about beasts here and they'll be mounted so that the top and bottom are damn near touching the top and bottom of the box) port would go all the way down 1 side till 5.25" from the back with a 1" piece to go along the back tuning about 34 hz. have fun! Are you saying put the port on the same side as the subs? Because I can mount them facing up or facing them towards the trunk? This is just temporary until it gets warm and I can wall my accord off Thanks mount em however you want. but on a single sub setup, putting the subs on the narrowest possible side maximizes baffle strength. if you put em on the wideer side (the top in this case) put a 1" dowel top to bottom to strengthen it.

Alright, I will put them facing the trunk and I should be able to make the width a little bit wider so I have a little extra room. Btw, I just looked at your build and it looks awesome lol. How did you learn so much about car audio? I've been reading everything I can find about it to help improve my knowledge on it. I'm 16 so this is my first system.

pioneer9412 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Can someone please help me with finishing my box. Today I went and picked up some MDF and cut all the pieces for the box. Do you glue the box first and then screw it together because my dad is trying to tell me to glue and screw at the same time? Also what should I coat the outside of the box with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 glue and screw, the screws provide the NECESSARY clamping force for the glue to set properly titebond requires 100-150psi for proper glue adhesion this can be achieved with clamps, but, the screws work just as good.... every ~4" just predrill 1/4" deeper than the screw so u dont split the wood, and dont dig the screw into the wood because of too high drill speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
