Posted April 18, 201411 yr Another box build for a previous customer. Upgrading from 2 Kicker CVR 15's to 2 Sundown X 12's (he really loves the lows, and that was the goal). Will be going in a Corolla trunk. 5.6 cubes net6.5" Octaport32 hz"X" style bracing... Will be adding "speaker rings" to the front of the box tomorrow as some added baffle bracing, for looks, and so the customer can use longer screws to hold these puppies in.
April 18, 201411 yr insane how you get those octoports to look so "factory" looking. Like the transitions from port to front wall is just amazing!
April 18, 201411 yr Author I'll be bedling this box. It's funny you ask. I actually don't even use fasteners to secure Octaports to the front of boxes. Before the fronts are mounted, I take the Octaport, put glue on one end, put it where I want on the front piece, then place a 45 lb. weight on top of the port. Then just let pressure do it's job and create a tight bond.
April 18, 201411 yr Would you be interested in making Me some jigs so I can make my own? I'd pay lol maybe like a pair of 6" and 10" sets
April 18, 201411 yr Author You don't need a jig to build an Octaport. Since quite a few people have asked me on this site and others, I'll go ahead and make another thread and do a write-up on how to design and build Octaports. Sound good?

April 19, 201411 yr Author Popular Post Box is finished! Will get better pics tomorrow in the daylight. Just couldnt bring myself to bedline over that wood grain...
April 19, 201411 yr Not a fan of the brace. Right behind the port.Im guessing its tied into the Sundown "X" theme...so you see an x when looking through the port?
April 23, 201411 yr Once again man- great job. I need to just load up and head to OK for a couple days.
