Box Build for AudioWerks

Recommended Posts

This is 1 of 2 pretty cool builds I have going on right now. I thought I would share both of the logs with you guys as well. Hope you dont mind....

Some of you may have seen the other thread about this box... http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=282794

But basically, its underway now. Got the panels cut, port areas painted, and sketched out the brace.

More pics will come in the coming days.....

Spent about 2 and a half hours cutting out this brace tonight. Took a little longer than I was expecting, but I decided to use the Jig Saw for the entire thing. Thought about using the router and flush cut bit for most of it, but decided to try my hand at the jig saw.

Anyways, got it all cut out, masked off, and got the FI logo painted white. May need another coat tomorrow, this white just wasnt covering very well.

Onto the pics....

Ok, here we go.....

Here are a couple pics from last night. Just basically painted anywhere that was going to be behind the brace. I thought this would make it easier to finish up painting later on.

Now tonight, I started assembling the box. Its really taking shape now, and I think is starting to look pretty sweet....

I ran out of red paint tonight, so Ill have to get another can tomorrow. Then I plan on painting it some more, before putting the top panel on. Then this weekend I should get it completely assembled and carpeted, then just have to wait and see what we can do about the plexi and the CNC...

What you mean? Talking about the Fi logo? It is actually white, just masked off from when I painted the inside last night....

I must just not be seeing it but, where does the sub go?

Its going to be top mounting. So the subs mags will sit right above the cut outs in the bracing.

Great build... :slayer:

i was wondering if the brace would resonate and cause unwanted harmonic distortion ? :peepwall:

Thanks man. Of course, we hope no problems will arise from it. But I do not have any experience with something like this, so I guess we are going to have to wait until we get it into the real world environment. Its actually pretty strong though, so Im not too worried, but you never know...
