Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 660 Registered: Nov-05 | i usually use a table saw too. i would really like to have a table saw cause they make better cuts.im saving money to buy 1 |

Silver Member Username: NemenPost Number: 699 Registered: Dec-05 | Nice box chad looks great. was the carpet hard to put on for you or was it pretty easy. And if u used a jigsaw in those round cuts you did great mine is gonna be all crooked and sh!t lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 661 Registered: Nov-05 | i hope it sounds nice chad.im still experimenting with ports trying to learn how to do it good |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3443 Registered: Oct-05 | thanks alex. i guess i will find out tomorow morning. i could of put the subs in tonight but i figured its better to let the caulk dry all the way and also its better to reinstall everything in daylight. |

Bronze Member Username: Custom_boxesPost Number: 75 Registered: Mar-06 | niceeeeee!!!! |
|
Bronze Member Username: Custom_boxesPost Number: 76 Registered: Mar-06 | looks go0d but a better way 2 build a box is not 2 do the top last. say u have a messed up cut it will throw it of so if u do the bottom 1st then both sides the the back then u put the top on then u do ur port make spacers so the port is even then run ur port then caulk it then the next port infront do that just a easier way imo i just got makin a box 2 a slot ported box for my 1 friend its nice an tuned 2 30hz an u should of painted the port black a nicer look but other than that great box hope it sounds go0d as it looks |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3451 Registered: Oct-05 | its actually 1.855 after my driver displacement. the dimensions are 35 wide x 17 deep x 16.5 high. |
|
Silver Member Username: Clacla100Tallahassee, Fl US Post Number: 106 Registered: Dec-05 | im confused. so to get the net area do you include the port. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3453 Registered: Oct-05 | i don't know exactly cory to be honest. i just inputed the cu ft after the driver displacement and that is the length of the port i got. i am sure i lose some cuft cause of the port but that is what i came up with. here is the second box. i finally finished it an installed it. damn i am never doing that again. oh and i will organize the cables later. i am just to tired to do anything else. lol. these subs get so loud in that box too. i could barely stand it in my car. i don't even have the ho alt installed yet. the ho alt from iraggi should be arriving in a couple of days so i am getting that installed next saturday. after the ho alt it is even gonna get louder in my car.  |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7053 Registered: Jul-05 | looks good - thats alot of work u did 2day dude its very possible 2 build a box in 1 day . Takes me my myself about 4-6hrs non stop 2 build 1 . Carpeting does take some time & skills 2 get it done right/neat ...... |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3454 Registered: Oct-05 | lol you noticed the carpeting huh? i know i was working all morning on this. when it was time to carpet that i kinda rushed it. but the box is better built then the first one. |

Silver Member Username: NemenPost Number: 703 Registered: Dec-05 | well im not really making fun of him is just that abox made in two hours isnt gonna come out good.And i wouldnt use fur but again thats up to him i just wouldnt pay 150-200 hes asking for a dual slot port box when you can get better for the cheaper for example chads box that box looks better and probably stronger cause it wasnt done in two hours it lokks betterthan any box i seen custom boxes post. And cheaper. |
|
Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California USA Post Number: 537 Registered: May-05 | yeah it took me like 7 hours to do mine.. but not all at once. over like 3 days time i think. |

Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 657 Registered: Dec-04 | yea i have to agree... I have built a few boxes and I don't think it is possible for one person to build a box in 2 hours. It takes me and a friend around 6 hours to do it right. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3468 Registered: Oct-05 | the first box it took me 4 days. around 2-3 hours a day. the second one took me 6 hours straight on sunday. i am never doing that again. lol. i was so tired today for some reason. i had home depot cut the top and bottom piece. also i had them cut 13" strips after the top and bottom piece was cut. so i saved some time doing that. the 13" strips were for the height. i know it isn't the best box you guys all have seen but let me tell you my car pounds hard with that box. |

Silver Member Username: Terry6405Sullivan, IN US Post Number: 643 Registered: Sep-05 | my god thats alot of JL power, not to mention alot of cash to get them, i would turn the 1000/1 around so you can reat them, and mount them flush, you probly have enough MDF and carpet and it will look pro and also be a bich to steal |

Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2233 Registered: Sep-05 | I must say, each amp wired to 1ohm load... this thing will mute your system & others around you... this is big boi stuff, people call the cops on you. I will be competing with this setup pretty much, but way way diffrent box... Chad this really aint no install, lol... I put that together in like 15-20 mins I think.... I could have made it way neater.. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3501 Registered: Oct-05 | you still have your subs firing into the cabin there B? i can't believe the improvement in sound and output after i turned the box to fire into the cabin. |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2234 Registered: Sep-05 | ofcourse, allways into the cab, sealed off for me brother.. better SQ & SPL... if it sounds bad to someone else, then they have a bad install..  |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3503 Registered: Oct-05 | what did you use to seal it. i was thinking of using a thin panel so its easy to cut and applying edead on it. |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2240 Registered: Sep-05 | to seal is best to use some wood trims on the sides and to the top of the box.. this box isnt sealed off, I wont have this box for long.. |

Gold Member Username: PelonaCalifornia Post Number: 1233 Registered: Dec-05 | i said itll be better if u fire the subs backwards cuz in most cars it does sound better. like in mine. but i guess all cars are different and all trunks are different |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3536 Registered: Oct-05 | freddy....if you seal around the box from the rest of the trunk, the sq will be there. not to mention the output will be much louder. i did that today and i love it. its so loud and clean. |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1247 Registered: Dec-05 | well in the pictures it didnt look like u did that. is that the best way to get the most bass and sq? |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3539 Registered: Oct-05 | in the picture it isn't sealed. i just did that today. still even if i took the picture now you couldn't see that its sealed. anyways after trying facing back and front, it sounds best if you face it front after sealing around the box. you should try it when you have the chance. also your ports need to be in the center of the box rather than on the outer sides. |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1249 Registered: Dec-05 | yea i wanted to try that too but i dont know how. did u use fiberglass? lets see pics |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3540 Registered: Oct-05 | i did a temporary job right now. lol. not much to look at with pictures. i just used some foam wrapped with duck tape and i wedged it in between the box and the trunk. my box is pretty big so there is only little space between the trunk and around the box. now that i know it makes a big difference, i am going to start thinking about doing something more permanent and better. |
|
