No, I'm mounting the subs with the cones pointing up.

" A Backyard Shenanigans Production" = NICE!!

Beautiful work on the rings!!! why I like checking out your builds!!!

[onebadmonte 235]

After a short hiatus I'm back. Up now, mounting the sub mounting rings.

The recently modified sub is in position on the baffle to have the mounting locations transferred on to the baffle.

With the mounting locations on the baffle it's time to drill out the mounting holes.

Here is the sub mounted on the baffle.

A close up of the mounted sub.

I couldn't resist. Here is a preview of what the view will be like through the viewing slots.

Work is a stickler about me making stuff using their equipment for profit. At the same time they're not in the audio buisness so they're not interested in the profit offered. : I can offer you PDF and DXF drawings if the rings, in which you can take to a local shop with CNC cutting abilities. Let me know.

This thread gets so much more love here. Lol.

Again, great job so far. You're an inspiration my friend.

Great community here. Always supportive regardless of equipment used by this knucklehead.

Stop by more often. Thanks for the kind words.

Test fits, misfits and how to deal with them is today's subject. I test fitted all the panels together just to make sure everything was going to fit without any surprises. I did my darnest to make sure all the panels were cut to size in a single setup, but as luck would have it one of the panel's a whisker too long. Between 1/16th and 1/8th inch too long. This is one of those things where I'd either try sanding or filing or both to get down to size. Pretty much a couple of hours get burned tring to get a nice fit. Not the route I want to be going if you know what I mean.

I kicked options around for a bit and decided to use the same technique that I used to cut the panel window slots to trim down this panel. I setup the panel to be trimmed, over hanging the amount to be trimmed, on a larger straight panel. The larger panel is to be a guide for the router with a flush trim router bit.

Here is the setup:

A close up of the amount to be removed from the panel:

The finished product:

Easy peasy. Up next some box assembly. Woot, woot!

Yes those rings are an awesome idea!

[swift 501]

I was thinking flush router bit before I read it. That's a great way to make sure two are exact without cutting two at once. Good job

Finally some box assembly action.

Since I like painting the inside of my boxes I assemble them starting at the baffle down towards the base. Here the sides go up. The sub rings are in there, well, I don't know why. I'll take them out to paint.

The center divider and the 45's going in place. Some essential tools to get the job done pictured as well. Glue, a hammer, and an industrial fly swatter.

Here the port wall is coming together. Since the leading edge is cut with a bevel I used nails and a nail gun to keep everything together as the glue sets.

Clamps, clamps and more clamps. The port is taking shape. Woot, woot!

Hey now, this thing is starting to take shape. Sweet.

Thanks. I was so bummed I couldn't git'er done for the weekend. I guess you could say my eye were bigger than my appetite. Looking forward to the get together.

starting to come together

Thanks. It seems this little box build is taking forever. Just trying to enjoy the build a bit before it's all over. I tend to enjoy the process just a little bit more than the final outcome.

[Sencheezy 689]

Always looking amazing!

[hondakilla98 29]

Awesome work, I'm excited to see it finished.

[onebadmonte 235]

With the box taking shape here are some pics of the inside being painted. First and foremost, a little test fit in the vehicle. He, he.

Now some paint shots.

A nice a sharp 45. Don't cut yourself.

I spread a thin layer of wood glue on the beveled edges to keep them from soaking up too much paint and swelling up on me.

With the inside fully painted I mounted the sub rings before adding on the bottom of the box.

I pre-painted the bottom of the box before assembling it on. This keeps me from having to work in the small confines of the box.

The final product.

Up next a little carpeting action.
