2 Sundown X 12's box build

Recommended Posts

Another box build for a previous customer. Upgrading from 2 Kicker CVR 15's to 2 Sundown X 12's (he really loves the lows, and that was the goal). Will be going in a Corolla trunk.

 

 

5.6 cubes net

6.5" Octaport

32 hz

"X" style bracing...

 

Will be adding "speaker rings" to the front of the box tomorrow as some added baffle bracing, for looks, and so the customer can use longer screws to hold these puppies in.

insane how you get those octoports to look so "factory" looking. Like the transitions from port to front wall is just amazing!

I'll be bedling this box.

 

 

It's funny you ask. I actually don't even use fasteners to secure Octaports to the front of boxes. Before the fronts are mounted, I take the Octaport, put glue on one end, put it where I want on the front piece, then place a 45 lb. weight on top of the port. Then just let pressure do it's job and create a tight bond.

You don't need a jig to build an Octaport. 

 

Since quite a few people have asked me on this site and others, I'll go ahead and make another thread and do a write-up on how to design and build Octaports. Sound good?

Not a fan of the brace. Right behind the port.

Im guessing its tied into the Sundown "X" theme...so you see an x when looking through the port?

Brace is ample distance away from the port as to not cause interference.
