May 22, 201015 yr I can't wait to see this install. So much cone area!! LMAO it's like 12 12's or something like that
May 24, 201015 yr Author Got back from the beach around 1 today and decided to do a lil work before everyone that was at the resort with us got back to the house.One side on the back part about to go in.Getting ready to start the shell that will be around the back part. It will be a combo of 2x10's, 2x4's, and 2x2's. So this will make the walls of the back part go as follows: one layer of 3/4" mdf, two layers of 2x10's/2x4's/2x2's, another layer of 3/4"mdf, and possibly some fiberglass.
May 24, 201015 yr Author Gonna be fun straightening all of this out haha.Where it is until tomorrow.I'm surprised that I got any work done today. I've been going since Friday evening haha. And there was a 3 story water slide at the place we stayed on the beach, and I somehow managed to land on my head, then my hip started to slip again haha...But I felt like getting at least a lil done.And a quick question. Does anyone know if the fiberglass that is used to make boat hulls would work for the inside of a box? I have access to about 1,000lbs of the mat, so all I would need would be resin. I figure since I can get it I may as well use it if it would work well.
May 24, 201015 yr If anything I would bet the boat fiberglass would be better since it is probably a thicker material. It might be harder to work with though....
May 24, 201015 yr Author If anything I would bet the boat fiberglass would be better since it is probably a thicker material. It might be harder to work with though....It's really thick. That's kinda what i figured as well, but thought that I should probably get a second opinion.
May 25, 201015 yr Author Some good progress today.Decided to practice using cardboard for a stencil since I will have to for the beauty panels.Another side up.First 2x10 test fit.
May 25, 201015 yr Author Other side.Screws are a lil long for the job, but they do get the job done. Kinda looks cool too, even though all of this will be paneled off.I came back into the garage to this. Edited May 25, 201015 yr by rmzsuzuki89
May 25, 201015 yr Author Starting on the back.How it sits as of now.Gonna start on the second layer of 2x10's tomorrow if I'm able to get to Hone Depot to get some more.
May 25, 201015 yr Author Progress looks great!ThanksThat is going to be one heavy box~!Looking good mangYes it is haha. Thanks
May 26, 201015 yr Author Got the second layer on the sides in today.Holy puddle of glue.Starting other side.Making a lil sawdust and wood glue putty since there was a big puddle at the bottom going to waste. Edited May 26, 201015 yr by rmzsuzuki89
May 26, 201015 yr Author And some pics from when I got done and cleaned up a lil.Side are getting pretty thick.
May 26, 201015 yr Author Mdf top along with the same 2x6 and 2x4 as the walls?Their 2x4's and 2x10's. But ya, there is gonna be .75" mdf all around the 2 layers of 2x10's and 2x4's, and another layer of .75" mdf all around the inside. I may only do one layer of 2x10's and another layer of mdf on the floor, or even maybe just another layer of mdf. It depends on how sturdy I feel it is. With the way that it's bolted down, it seems to be quite rigid now. It wont flex at all even if I jump up and down on it. Edited May 26, 201015 yr by rmzsuzuki89
May 26, 201015 yr Author what are you gonna run for mids and highs?Not too sure yet, that'll come when I get some money in the bank haha.

May 27, 201015 yr Author Temp subs back in lol.I have a lot of stuff to do today, so not much will get done. We'll see.
