that looks quiet....*hides* jk, looks good!

ok cool, that's what i figured. thanks for the input. the midbass response is pretty good as is. i didn't really want to redo the rings if i didn't need to.

I was cleaning out my room, and found some literature that came with my DLS components. I didn't notice this bit of info when I was doing the install. But DLS recommends a chamfered baffle for the midbass. I simply made 1/2" birch rings with no chamfer. My question is, will I notice a big difference in midbass response by going the chamfered route? The rings are fairly thin being only 1/2", I don't think the backwaves are really hitting it. But I want to get some second opinions before I take my doors apart to redo the rings. http://www.dls.se/files/701/2/baffle_installation.pdf Pics of my baffles: passenger side driver side

thanks chris for the referral i'd build you one, but finals are coming up. check out stereofx on 45 north near west rd. and tell them gordon sent ya.

a little bit, the stuff is fairly thick when it sprays out. and thanks chris

yep, it's black fleckstone.

thanks guys! i used this stone textured spray paint. you can get them at home depot. it comes in various colors/textures.

Took advantage of some free time and the nice weather to get started on my box for the DLS sub. let's get some wood cut eh? pieces all cut out and ready for assembly one more piece to go! ready to start marking and cutting out the hole for the flared port opening. the port on the inside. excuse the huge glare from the sun :\ covering the mounting area so the spray won't get on it. a peek inside through the port opening. lots of clearance between the motor and port tune. done! it's 1.62 cubic feet ported and tuned to 35Hz. i haven't installed it into the car yet...ran out of daylight and the mosquitos are out in full force. i'll get it into the car as soon as i can and then snap some more pics.

beefy looking 8. it reminds me of the SS RLi 8's. great looking box!

make SURE those T nuts are secured/glued into that box. i had several instances where i was unmounting a sub, and the damn nut broke free from the baffle. the bolts that was holding the sub onto the box just kept spinning freely. i ended up breaking the box to get the sub out. it's no fun...

looks pretty cramped in there. what's the net airspace after port and sub displacement?

looks good man! glad to see another maxima getting worked on.

yep, definately looking forward on putting her in. the sub looks gorgeous. but work and school owns me though, so i don't know when exactly i can get the new box fab'ed up. soon i hope...

wow, that's a big sealed box for a 12. i have plans drawn for my enclosure...going the ported route. yeah i too have a dls 3-way front stage. this dls sub should compliment them very well.

cool, that's very nice to hear. were they sealed up or ported in that demo car? and chris...i'll get to it soon!
