Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 117 Registered: Sep-05 |    First box I have ever made. Built for Infinity 12dvq. 2cu ft, port 32hz. 2hrs prep and cut. Probably gonna be another 2hrs glue and screw. Puttin in that 1230w for now. |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 118 Registered: Sep-05 | Or maybe I can have Harold Greenwich come over and screw it together for me. Those who got to see his post will understand. |

Silver Member Username: Koz1031Monticello, In United states Post Number: 428 Registered: Jul-04 | very nice box for your first 1. But I am wondering if it would make a difference if it was top loaded insteaded of front loaded as designed. It would put the sub under the rear deck instead of facing the rear. and if the rear deck was opened up a little this may help, in my drunken state of thinking. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7424 Registered: Jul-05 | Very Decent ! - alot better than that other crappy chip board box with a million screws ...... |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 127 Registered: Sep-05 | What is the rule of thumb on screw spacing. I put them every three inches |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2497 Registered: Sep-05 |  I like the double baffle... I need that for my subs... flexin like a mugg. How much was all those materials??? |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7426 Registered: Jul-05 | i dont think there is a "set rule of thumb" but im thinking 3" might be too close & cause the wood 2 split - i use 5" & 6" apart with LIQUID NAILS ADHESIVE which works gr8 ....... |
|
Gold Member Username: Sploosh56Ohio Post Number: 1249 Registered: May-04 | nice looking box |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 128 Registered: Sep-05 | About $30-35 in materials. The second baffle is not only for extra strenght but also to recess the sub. Thanx Rovin I will remember that next time in build one. |

|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 138 Registered: Sep-05 | Thats the basics, I just changed it a little to recess the sub and double baffle it. |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 139 Registered: Sep-05 | Post pic if u build one. Its goin in the trunk of an 88' lincoln towncar. Im gonna try and make a vid clip when its bumpin. |
|
Silver Member Username: NypdlapdPost Number: 287 Registered: Feb-06 | ok post it on www.realmofexcursion.com |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 870 Registered: Oct-05 | is double baffling it just mean that ur addin 2 sheets of mdf to the front of the box to keep it sturdier and from not flexing? on the front of ur box, does the front part of the square have to be in line (straight across) from the port? (if that makes sense) |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 140 Registered: Sep-05 | u mean in the link i sent |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 873 Registered: Oct-05 | was that directed towards me? if so, i am looking at ur first picture where the front of the box looks to be behind the left most port. is it supposed to be even? or can the front of the box be behind the port a lil? |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 143 Registered: Sep-05 | I extended the front of the box an 1.5" to make it like that. U cant just move it to make it even without affecting the internal vol. |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 144 Registered: Sep-05 | On the link I posted. Add and 1.5" to the green and yellow. Add an extra .75" to the yellow and subtract .75 from the red, subtract .75 from violet and add 1.5" to top and bottom. I dont know how elese to explain it. |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 145 Registered: Sep-05 | I used that link to find out what I wanted my basic dimensions to be. I could have just built it like that, but I did what I explained for strenght and to recess the sub. |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7437 Registered: Jul-05 | billy bob - u really used ur brains when studying how 2 build ur box & patience unlike some ppl i seen posting pix of their sh!tty made box - again good job. But DON'T cover it with a sh!tty colored fabric like i seen others do which makes it looks SO G@Y - if u want 2 try something dif from the usually box carpet , try LAMINATE available in any hardware with TONS of colors ,textures & patterns ....... |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 146 Registered: Sep-05 | Thanx Rovin. I was gonna just carpet it grey and paint the outer baffle black. |
|
Gold Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 1232 Registered: Sep-05 | you should get into box building sales......great job man! |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 148 Registered: Sep-05 | I dont understand why ne one would ever buy a sub enclosure. It only cost me $35 to make this and about 6 hours total. Using very limited tools. There will be many more in the future. |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 149 Registered: Sep-05 | my next enclosure is gonna be for an inverted sub |
|
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 7445 Registered: Jul-05 | well - a few reasons : here r lazy azz ppl out there some ppl have no time/patience some have no skills/not good with their hands others dont even own a powersaw & others rather pay some1 2 get it done . I NEVER have & NEVER will pay any1 2 build my boxes .... when the Bragging section is back up - u should go put ur pics on it..... |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 151 Registered: Sep-05 | I just got done bumpin the new box. Definitely bangs harder than a sealed enclosure. Cant wait to get that 12vq bumpin. |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 152 Registered: Sep-05 |    |
|
Bronze Member Username: SwisherMarianna, FL Post Number: 53 Registered: Apr-06 | looks nice except the front peice throwin it all off |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 154 Registered: Sep-05 | not finished |
|
Silver Member Username: DankumPost Number: 155 Registered: Sep-05 |  I decided to just carpet the baffle for now. Havin a little trouble gettin the second baffle lined up. Figure I should wait until I have the 12vq in the box before I finish the second baffle. Its gonna be painted black when its finished. |

|
Silver Member Username: DankumCalifornia Post Number: 167 Registered: Sep-05 | I explained it already in this post. The 2 baffles r for strenght and to recess the sub. |
