Posted July 1, 200718 yr Sometimes it pays to have an insomniac working for you huh?Christy will carpet it in the morning, and I'll see about possibly bringing it up to you. Paint was still a little wet, so it looks splotchy, but it's not like that in person. Edited July 1, 200718 yr by stratusrt01
July 1, 200718 yr Author Cools, I love downfiring... done quite a few at the shop.nGI've always liked the way they sound, especially in extended cab trucks.
July 1, 200718 yr Looks perfect Rich, much better than my creation for sure I need to get a table saw because I am completely fired from making straight cuts with a circular saw. Now... I can cut a hella circle with a jig saw... but straight lines are another story

My jigsaw is not having fun cutting through 2.25 inches of mdf.The most my jigsaw has done is 1.5" and that was about it's maximum. You should probably cut one sheet at a time I need one of those jigs like Rich has for the router. That is the only way to do it if you do much box building at all.

July 2, 200718 yr router and a table saw with the option to do angle cuts should be on that lists neon....I love those nice degree cuts for wedge shaped boxes

July 2, 200718 yr Author I need one of those jigs like Rich has for the router. That is the only way to do it if you do much box building at all.diy one I had a DIY one, but I should have made it out of Lexan, I made it out of 1/4" wood, and the holes would wear out, and the hole change sizes slightly. I also ran into problems because there's too many different woofer sizes that are close to each other, but not far enough away to drill another hole without weakening the wood, so I broke down and bought the Jasper.

July 3, 200718 yr Author Big Tablesaws FTW!!!!!!! It's nice to have a 36" fence capacity after working for years on one of those tabletop saws. Edited July 3, 200718 yr by stratusrt01
