New box
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 838 Registered: Nov-05 | I have spent a lot of time on this box and it is ALMOST finished. As you can see i have the jl symbol in the middle of the front of the box. I am going to put that silver peice of aluminum buhind it, so there will be a silver jl symbol. I hate it when the caulk is white and visible, so i got crystal clear so you won't see it. I spent most of my time insetting the top two plexiglass peices with a milling machine. I did this so it will be flush with the wood. I did the same to the port holes and by the way, the ports are huge! I have a big peice of plexiglass so oyu can see everything on the inside. I also put red neon and it looks sooo good. I made it to sell, and i can cut the ports more if i need to tune it more. Just in case someone buys it for their w6 or w3 or w7. I also used vinal, which IMO looks way nicer than carpet. I will probobly be finished in an hour or two, so keep looking. And tell me what you guys think!    |

|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 846 Registered: Nov-05 | Hey Zepcoe i don't really know what you are asking. The emblem doesn't take up much space. My dad went to work today, so it might wait until he gets here to put the metal in. But i will work on putting the plexi in and ill show you pics. BTW the plexi looks better than i thought t would have. |
|
Gold Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 1522 Registered: Sep-05 | sweeeet......I think what Zepcoe is trying to ask is that are you using the JL enblem as your ports? If so, how did you know how big to make it? |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 847 Registered: Nov-05 | lol no no, i have flared ports. I just finished painting them and im waiting for them to dry.then ill put them in along with the subs and i'll have more pics. I just won't have the back plexi'd or the metal put in. |

Silver Member Username: ZepcoeTN Us Post Number: 342 Registered: Apr-06 | mmmm so the JL symbol is not the ports? if not can you take a pic of the ports for me or is that them up there ? |
|

|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 853 Registered: Nov-05 | Its done everyone. I just have to put 1 sub in and put the back peice of plexiglass on. I'm sorry it took so long, but wrapping the jl emblem with vinal is REALLY hARD! so ill be back in a few with pics. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 855 Registered: Nov-05 | bump. i don't think it bumped. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 858 Registered: Nov-05 | Ok, the lighting is bad and the pics aren't really good. but its done and looks awsome. I also have to clean it from some of the adhesive that got on the vinal.    |

Silver Member Username: Timothy_314Post Number: 138 Registered: May-06 | LOOKS GOOD lol the subs look SMALL! |
|
Silver Member Username: GagePost Number: 280 Registered: Feb-06 | are they w0's or w1's |
|
Gold Member Username: 54danny54Betsy layne, Kentucky..GO... USA duh Post Number: 2466 Registered: Nov-04 | those W1's |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 860 Registered: Nov-05 | Well, i didn't use 12's beause i didnt have any. Surprisingly, it sounds really good. It is tuned to 24, and it gets pretty low. Im afraid to turn it up because of the plexiglass. The only bad part is the back peice of plexiglass makes noise, so im going to use a brace, but it will look fine.     |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3018 Registered: Sep-04 | looks good. just keep practicing with the vinal. and what size plexi did you use? looks really thin. should have used atleast 1/2 but id use 3/4. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 862 Registered: Nov-05 | Yeah the vinal was the hardest part. And where can i get 1/2 or 3/4? |
|
Silver Member Username: ZepcoeTN Us Post Number: 355 Registered: Apr-06 | How long it take you? |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 864 Registered: Nov-05 | Well, i only spent about half of a day on it. And i took a couple breaks.but it took a while to fold it under the jl logo. |
|
Silver Member Username: Langless28Boston, MA Post Number: 585 Registered: Dec-04 | does that plexi flex when you play it? |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3021 Registered: Sep-04 | look on ebay or other supplier sites for thicker plexiglass. this site may help... ebay has awesome prices if you can find what you want though. http://freckleface.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/plasticmaterial.html also, fyi, polycarbonate, or lexan, is stronger. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 866 Registered: Nov-05 | wow thanks for that link. Yeah i used lexan before but it is real expensive. It started flexing because the screws were too tight. And if they weren't tight it would have air holes. KEep telling me what you think of the box. And tell me if i should improve on something. |
