January 3, 200817 yr Author doesn't take much roomneed to work on the paint some more the subs are beat up. Still work great but dented.....Hopefully I will be able to upgrade soon.now I got to figure out what to do hereAfter listening I need to change the port tuning (higher). Also thinking of changing out the round ports for one square one that will be removable.Will be out of town for a few weeks for work, when I get back I will so some more work to it.....just wanted to get it all in for now.
January 3, 200817 yr Very nice man , I would finish the other side off in a similar fashion to the way you did the front.
January 3, 200817 yr awesome DIY!! You did a great job. I didn't think the first box took up that much room.
January 4, 200817 yr i think i would've filled the space in front with the amp, instead of on top.but otherwise, great build.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
January 5, 200817 yr Author Thankyou for all the kind words....Still playing with tuning and have flanges for the ports coming next week. Also am planning a plexiglass cover to go in front of the subs for protection against things hitting them and for the subs to have something to 'load' off. I noticed this week when I had a big cardboard box in front of the subs they hit better and tighter.
