15" xcon house build??

[gadgeteer123 21]

I'm am in the midle of drawing lines what do I do I can't cut anything until I get a response?

How about 20" high x 16" deep x 39.5" wide?

Cut list:

(2) 18.5 x 39.5

(2) 16 x 39.5

(4) 18.5 x 14.5

You would just cut (3) holes in the end of the enclosure that are the same size as the outer diameter of the pipe. Slide the pipe into the holes until it is flush with the side of the box and then use liquid nails inside the box to hold it in place.

why are there 8 cuts of wood when there would only need to be 6 cuts????

Double baffles perhaps?

Figure it out yourself?

[gadgeteer123 21]

ive already got it cut< free-hand jigsaw isn't very accurate, so i have a lot of sanding to do ti smooth off the edges. I wish I had a table saw.

[gadgeteer123 21]

well I have everything sanded down, and the ports are drying in there holes. So in a couple hours I can start putting the box together.

[gadgeteer123 21]

I have the final wood glue drying, so when it is all smoothed out and sanded, and it is painted I will put pics up which will probably be tomorrow afternoon.

Sorry, I did not see you posted again.

I was thinking as long as that box is, I woudl make a couple of window braces out of those extra pieces and use them inside the enclosure. See line 2 in post #12.

[BKOLFO4 29]

Be sure you post pics. . .

[gadgeteer123 21]

I will its almost done, I just added a rubber sealant along the entire inside on top of the caulk on the edges, for that extra seal. I will have pics up by tomorrow when its done, I am done structurally I just have to make it look nice now.

[gadgeteer123 21]

So to anyone who happens to be reading this, How well do you think this is gonna work and sound? My 5 cubic foot box tuned to 25hz. I Have the entire inside covered in rubber sealant paint with caulk along the edges, wood filler filling in all the cracks on the outside, and some overkill amount of screws and a overkill sealed port, everything is absolutely airtight. Let me know what you think. remember this is gonna be getting about 300 watts of clean power.

[gadgeteer123 21]

I am posting current progress pics, for you guys to look at until I get it finished, its something for me to do while i wait for the stuff to dry. they will be up in ten minutes.

[gadgeteer123 21]

Here are the pics so far

Nice looking box, wish I could tell you what it will sound like but I hope it sounds good. I had a box tuned that low (didnt do good on upper frequenciess but crushed the low notes )

[gadgeteer123 21]

Thanks, this is my first box that I have ever built so i'd say its not bad for my first try.

[Bearlokey13 2]

Very nice looking box, especially for a first go at it.

[gadgeteer123 21]

I wish I had a table saw, my edge cuts weren't perfectly straight so I had to compensate with wood filler on the ousides and lots of latex caulk on the inside.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Glad you built the box. Make sure you double check for any leaks.

[ulrisa 26]

Looks good man! Can't wait to hear how it turns out.

[BKOLFO4 29]

Hurry up and get it working, then you can tell us how it sounds!!!!

[gadgeteer123 21]

Sorry for the wait it should be done b around 10pm central time tonight. gotta let stuff dry

[gadgeteer123 21]

I am putting the pics up they will be up in ten minutes, I only have the first coat of paint on but you will get the idea.

[gadgeteer123 21]

here are the pics these are of a minute before i started painting, and then the last one is my first coat of paint.

first coat

I will post a couple more pics once the painting is done.

[gadgeteer123 21]

The rest of the pics are coming

[gadgeteer123 21]

Here are the last pics the paint isn't completely dry but good enough for you guys to get the end result. I know it needs about another 2 coats of paint but i'm out of paint, and this is only my temporary/test enclosure for the house for my xcon, until I get my super nice one getting made by audible customs. Enjoy!
