Hello, I am getting a set too for my new set up.

Bad ass boxes!

You can check out Mark at Car Audio Fabrication, http://www.caraudiofabrication.com/box-designs He's got a great youtube channel and he designs boxes.

Your install will make a big difference too on how they sound in your car. Make sure you sound deaden your doors at least. A poor install will make even the best sounding speakers sound bad.

Recommended subs for old school mini truck
Kryptonite replied to yayo86's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
I agree with bigrank, I would build a new enclosure before buying new subs. A bad enclosure can make really good subs sound bad. -

Cheaper alternatives to SMD installation tools
Kryptonite replied to SINTORMAN's topic in Technical Info & How To's
I do need an accurate way to set crossover points though. The slopes are usually set or selectable on the crossover itself. -

I know this is an older post, but thank you. I was looking for an accurate way to set my x-overs, nailed it! -
Thanks, I am going to just use glue and nails. I am going to add mitered pieces to the inside corners to make them stronger, more surface area for the glue. I also keep the pieces clamped until the glue has completely dried. I will post pics when the box is finished.

You should call these the Hcons, for all the H8ers!

Hey guys, I have a question about box construction. I've been building boxes for a while. I always use MDF, but will use Baltic Birch one of these days. I have always heard that glue is stronger than screws as long as it is a nice tight joint and glued properly. I have always used glue and screws for strength but have seen a lot of guys use glue and pin nails. I have only built one box using glue only but it was for a single 8" driver. Any guys have experience doing this method? I don't want to waste extra time pre-drilling and using screws if I don't have to, not looking for short cuts, just trying to save some time. I have a box that I am going to reuse but need to beef it up for my new subs, it will house two Xcon 15's and the subs will be hooked up to a 4500 watt amp. Thanks in advance for any input.
