yupp bagged some time in the seat...

coupled with break in time and adjusting a few crossover points and gains Im sure you will be posting back your findings and a review i hope

It is possible for a ported enclosure to sound more punchy than a sealed, it's just a matter of design, and what the paticular drivers like. Every time I've switched from a sealed to a ported box I was happier with the way it sounded, the way it hits and the strength of the lows has always seemed better. Sounds like everything turned out great, it looks nice.

Properly designed ported enclosures can sound as good if not better than a sealed one...i've got a little 8 ported in the 4 runner for sq sounds damn good.

that is a Killer build....

So nick, was there any reasons behind the specs for the box?

looks great man.

my post here is a little out of date so , let me get you guys caught up.

I went to the junk yard and got a seat to cut up. Here it is.

to see the sub install go here

barrowed an old cutter from mom kitchen

So now I have framed in the soft seat. I did it once and I made the panels a little short so the edge wouldn't show thru the upholstery then i thought that i want a nice clean edge. So i re-made them all. I am not one to keep a project I have started and finsihed for time served. if its junk or not right i through it away and start over.

I have some steel stips to add to the back of the seat for the hog-ring attachment inside the opening. i still have to do that, they need to be tack welded on there.

so here they are.

that panels are attached with upholstry glue - the good stuff, not the 3m 77 can crap! then i drilled holes in the panles and put the metal rods inside the seat through them with some epoxy and CA glue. one the upholstry glue sets, that foam will rip beofre the panles come off.

I still have some fit issues. I think i need to bevel the edges of the cover panel so there is some room for upholstery around the edge.

got the center foam attached to some 1/4" peg board. why drillholes if i can get it with holes in it. I really don't plan on useing it but i have it if i need it.

Suppose to meet the upholstery guy Sat. to talk about it.

in the second pic you can see the metal i drilled holes in andweled to the frame so the upholstery guy can hog rinf the upholstery inside the opening

got my seats back today. They are pretty good.

I need to put some time into the speaker cover fitting better and flush.

the speaker cover is just primer now and will get a few small ostrich peices to coordinate with the rest of the interior

they wraped the the inside of the opening in tweed and it was suppose to be the vinyl, they liked it better, should have asked me, i wanted it dark againist the paint.

got more work done tonight. Ready for primer in the morning.

adding some ostrich inserts to the box front. since the middle of the seat is missing

another - now off to primer
