The enD

They should forbid painting them anything else than red.

It is a home made one. Not everyone is rich like you guys in The States. There was no use for it to be lower back then, so that's how it was made. Cheap and simple.

Thanks, man. If I didn't have the proper tools I would not have got into this for sure.

Fixed.

Made some progress this night. Been out of town these days so it's the only time I can work. Sides glued. New pieces sanded and drawn again. This time I used a piece of wood and a clamp to attach it to the baffle. That way I can hold the saw against it and make straight line. The first time I hold it without support and the lines were not the best. Perfect. That extra line is for the 11th channel, but I didn't cut it. YES! Dry fit. It needs a little more work for a perfect 1/4 circle. There were some little crack, but nothing to make it actually break. Minor sanding and it will be perfect. Beautiful. I'm relieved considering my first failed attempt.

That's 4 AM in the morning. Fuhhh. I want to win something.

Half an inch space :/

I don't see why not.

Look at my thread again. Sometimes brave isn't enough I guess. lol I don't use a table saw for the kerf because it has no settings to lower the disk. I used an electric hand saw. I was going to use the same box, but the decided to go with kerf and flushed driver.

And now the kerfing. Marking where I should cut. AND NOW EPIC FAIL.................................................................... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU That is it for today. I'll just make a new piece tomorrow.

First two pieces glued. Now lets fire this bad boy up. Mega Sander lol That's the side which will be a part of the port. It has to be smooth for the paint. Before/After picture. Very soft. The whole piece is covered with glue which is very important for a strong bond. Clamping again.

i wish i could do the kerfing..but don't quite have enough experience with building boxes for that yet. looks like a pretty sweet box though .how much do you think the tuning would change if you didn't have the kerf? That's kinda my first box and I am going with kerfing even tho it's hard. I have no idea on tuning. Look here http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/downloads/enclosure-designs.html . There is a box for a 12, 1.75 cub ft, 30 hz.

Eating breakfast at 3 PM I've been doing some work in the morning. Glued bottom and back. First time kerfing, so did some experiments before working on the actual piece. Now I am going to glue the sides and cut the kerf. These were made by my father when working with bigger project like whole doors and windows. But I ended up not using them. I need more clamps. Glued and clamped. My hand kinda hurt a lil but it's for good, very tight bond. Right before cleaning the excess glue. Playing with kerfing. There is a critical point where the wood bends or breaks. Looks good to me. Now I have to do the same thing to the big piece. -Teo

You are missing "Desired Net Volume" I have an already done design for a SA-12. But it is with a kerfed port and flushed baffle. If you can make the kerfing, maybe just copy my box. PM me for the other dimensions.

That's the design view. The sides are flushed too, not doubled.

Why last, nem?

Hmm...

Thanks, man. Yeah it's been a while. Stay tuned for more pictures. That's pretty basic what I am doing right now. When I get to the kerfing is the actual fun. Hope I don't screw it up. For the baffle thing I may and I may not flush it. Actually this was the first picture he send me. After that we changed the port tuning and added bracing. This is the final product. I don't think more 45 are necessary. And I am going to skip bracing exactly because of the boxs size and turbulence. I forgot to turn on the flash or they would've been even better. I like to play around with the camera. I take a couple of different pictures of the same thing and leave only the best one. Always hi res. Sorry if I takes a while to load. Just leave it a while and then come back.

That is for today. Any comments welcome. And thanks once more to bromo.

Hi, people. Here I'll be posting my build log of a box I am working on. This is going to be my first properly done box. First time using plywood, wood glue, clamps and any sort of design and calculations. Last one was done with particle board, silicone and screws. Let's talk about the box. It is going to be 1.74 cub ft for a 12" SA-12 , the used material is poplar plywood, kerfed port tuned to 32hz, flushed driver, painted port and around the driver in white, wrapped in carpet, bolt terminals. The design was done by Bromo and excellent is the least I can say about it. He did all I asked about the box in a pretty fast time considering it is not an easy job. He is the man! And let's get on with the pictures, shall we? Example of Bromos work. He gave me all the dimensions and a good explanation about how I should proceed with the kerfing. If you are wondering who should do your box, PM him and he will hook you up with an awesome design! Got wood? Doing some work. Playing with the macro. Forgot to turn on the flash. :/ Cleaning factory cuts. Part of the puzzle done. I think I need to cut two more pieces and then it's glue time.
