Posted January 15, 200817 yr This is 1 of 2 pretty cool builds I have going on right now. I thought I would share both of the logs with you guys as well. Hope you dont mind....Some of you may have seen the other thread about this box... http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=282794But basically, its underway now. Got the panels cut, port areas painted, and sketched out the brace.More pics will come in the coming days.....
January 16, 200817 yr Author Spent about 2 and a half hours cutting out this brace tonight. Took a little longer than I was expecting, but I decided to use the Jig Saw for the entire thing. Thought about using the router and flush cut bit for most of it, but decided to try my hand at the jig saw.Anyways, got it all cut out, masked off, and got the FI logo painted white. May need another coat tomorrow, this white just wasnt covering very well.Onto the pics....
January 18, 200817 yr Author Ok, here we go.....Here are a couple pics from last night. Just basically painted anywhere that was going to be behind the brace. I thought this would make it easier to finish up painting later on.Now tonight, I started assembling the box. Its really taking shape now, and I think is starting to look pretty sweet....
January 18, 200817 yr Author I ran out of red paint tonight, so Ill have to get another can tomorrow. Then I plan on painting it some more, before putting the top panel on. Then this weekend I should get it completely assembled and carpeted, then just have to wait and see what we can do about the plexi and the CNC...
January 18, 200817 yr Author What you mean? Talking about the Fi logo? It is actually white, just masked off from when I painted the inside last night....
January 18, 200817 yr ahhh okay, I was wondering why you would have went back and painted it the same color . Makes since now lol . Very nice
January 18, 200817 yr Author Gotcha. Yea, I confused a lot of people with that, LOL. Really only way I could think to get the inside painted good.Thanks for the compliments man
January 20, 200817 yr Author All thats left is to sand it all up, and carpet it. Then we just need to do the plexi work...

January 21, 200817 yr Author Its going to be top mounting. So the subs mags will sit right above the cut outs in the bracing.

January 24, 200817 yr wow that looks awsome...one of the best enclosures i have seen without it being permanent
January 24, 200817 yr Great build... i was wondering if the brace would resonate and cause unwanted harmonic distortion ?
January 24, 200817 yr Author Thanks man. Of course, we hope no problems will arise from it. But I do not have any experience with something like this, so I guess we are going to have to wait until we get it into the real world environment. Its actually pretty strong though, so Im not too worried, but you never know...
