Posted March 12, 200817 yr Almost forgot to post the build over here lol. Started the build on sunday. Anyhow, on to the pics. The design:started construction on the box. it's going to be a little smaller than initially planned at 2.1 cu ft. it's really my first enclosure with kerf'ed panels. i reallllllly need to get some big clamps. that would have made things MUCH easier. yes i'm using screws just to mess with Don :gapteeth:no clamps, so i had to ghetto rig it somehow. it works.a tiny crack started to form. i put some glue on it. seems to help it from spreading. starting to kerf the other port piece...waiting to get bent into shape.a few days went by. sub came. got myself a clamp and more glue....worked on the box a bit more today while there was still some light out. pick up a clamp at home depot. works rather nice. in the process of filling in the gaps with a paste of wood glue and MDF dust.And here's the sub. Looks pretty nice. Only complaint is the CA glue was running over the edge of the spider landing, but it's no biggie. flat leads that goes under the spider. the ass shot.midterms are kicking my ass, so i don't know when i'll have it done. but plans are to put black carpet around the top, sides, and back of the box. then fleckstone the front piece all the way into the port.
March 12, 200817 yr Great job Gordon!!! I hope you like your Q as much as I do mine. That box looks great.
March 13, 200817 yr Author update:getting ready to drill the cutoutpainted the port black.the fleckstone looks pretty damn good. i'll snap better pics tomorrow. i still need to carpet the bare panels and install the terminal cup.
March 14, 200817 yr Author update: took some better pics today of the fleckstone. got the sub in, and had a quick listen. the thing is a low end monster! there's zero port noise thanks to the flared opening, and the sub is pretty musical. response wise, it's a little warmer than the hertz, but it's keeping up with any music i throw at it. i'll need more ear time to give a better review.closer shot of the fleckstone. waiting to get wired and screwed in.threw it in the backseat for a quick listen.

March 14, 200817 yr Author shot a small vid earlier: reason i have it in the backseat is because my trunk is a mess at the moment lol. plus i still a pair of RLi-8's back there.
