March 5, 200520 yr nice ryan...what ur too good to have me build a box for my old treo's???lmao...looks good though!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
March 5, 200520 yr he said in IHoP no bracing..cheap box solution to go in his old beater he sold someone..which is way overrated anyway...only need to brace if subs are super heavy (like 50pds each) or ur going to be throwin major power at them (like 5kw +)wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
March 5, 200520 yr Author Bracing is actually very key IMO, power aside. I usually brace all enclosures extensively, but I just wanted this to be done and it should handle 1300 fine. I would have braced if I wanted to take some more time and if my table saw was working. The angled cuts were problematic with the old circular saw though so I didn't want to hassle with it.The front of the enclosure is 16"H while the rear is 14". This is necessary because the rear deck slopes down and inward on the passenger compartment. /size comes in at 5.04 cubes after driver displacement.

IMO anyway...lolur box still looks pretty good..wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
March 6, 200520 yr do what I did for the Orion, lay down a 2nd layer again, a waste....lol...where supa is flexing..a 48" run, i would brace a lil, but only if the port or something couldn't act as the brace.after talking to james, kevin and greg (who's about usless for building)[team sweep] and even shane (ex-team sweep) i brace just only when necessary and then just enough to do the job...the best thing u can do for ur box is round the port corners, or at least get rid of any square edges..but most of us knew that anyway..lol...sorry for hijacking ur thread ryan..lol...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
March 6, 200520 yr Author Um, Yeah. So I go to hook everything up today and pull the Ultimate amp out that I bought from SD. Looks as if the thing has been dropped on it's face or slid across a floor. Hooked it up and no work. SD is a real piece of work. They better give me a satisfactory reply.
