March 9, 201510 yr Tuned in. I been trying to get SI to make a HT15, I also seen they are bringing the Magv3 back.
March 9, 201510 yr Author I mean this won't be a 30,000w build kind of deal, but should still get pretty rowdy for my liking. If he has time I will see if me and Bryan the CEO can meter this thing once it's all done as he lives like 5 minutes from me. Edited March 9, 201510 yr by GeRm
March 11, 201510 yr Author Pretty frustrating day yesterday, I am not pleased at all with how that corner came out, slight gap in which im hoping expanding gorilla glue and silicone caulk will seal up. Wood took forever to cut as well. Back at it tomorrow
March 11, 201510 yr Author If anyone has a better idea as to how to seal up a corner with a slight gap, please, PLEASE chime in. I am open for idea's
March 11, 201510 yr Where are your clamps? Even with a not so perfect cut, you could have clamped her tight, then screwed it while the glue dried. To seal that corner, I would first scrape all glue off and give it some 80 grit roughing up. I would then glue & screw a solid 45 in that corner. Once dry, you could even throw one more layer of mdf over the 1st 45 if you wanted. No way in hell the corner will leak then! Edited March 12, 201510 yr by Jasonc13
March 11, 201510 yr Get a new saw blade and use a edge guide to cut straight.Doing it right the first time takes less effort than fixing a disaster.
March 13, 201510 yr Author Alright so I was back at it today with a clear and refreshed mind vs Tuesday which was a disaster. Things went MUUUUUCCCH better today. I'd say there is about 2 hours or 2 and a half hours to go on this enclosure. Just need to add 2 more 45's, baffle, mount the woofer, and put on the top. I think what ruined Tuesday mostly was that I dropped a sheet of MDF on my toe and obliterated it, it's bad lol. This was early in the day I do not have a picture of what the end day result was Also this guy worked an absolute MIRACLE on those baffles, kid has never done wood work at all and they came out damn near PERFECT Almost there guys!

March 14, 201510 yr Author Alright so this bitch is in! Just gotta do wiring and plug up the amp and all tomorrow! So friggin excited!
March 14, 201510 yr Author Tomorrow, it was too late and dark to run the wires. Back at it again in the morning, I will post vids and pics once she's playing
March 15, 201510 yr Author Why is there a gap above the sealed section? it's black foam, took the pic at night so it looks like there is nothing there. and i noticed towards the far left on top it looks like it is cut off, but it's not. I will take a close up tommorow Btw the truck is playing, I couldnt run it hard for long because I need to fix the hinge, but it was absolutely BRUTAL. So happy with how it came out. Just need to fine tune some things and fix the latch. Only played it for like 5 minutes cause it was late. I noticed was there was one air leak at the top about a half inch wide, will patch that up, never had to use foam before due to the top being removable, not bad. Edited March 15, 201510 yr by GeRm
March 15, 201510 yr Would you mind posting the specs for your box? Bandpass boxes always pique my interest.

March 17, 201510 yr Author Thanks, well worth the messed up toe and abundance of scrapes,scratches, and bleeding.
March 19, 201510 yr Author Might meter tomorrow on one of those new fancy SSA meters. Will post another video and results. gotta move the box back a bit cause the port is like 2 inches from the hatch, can't breath.
