Brandon Gold Member Username: Theelfkeeper Stockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2748 Registered: Feb-05	Posted on Saturday, September 02, 2006 - 21:20 GMT 4x8 sheets of MDF here aren't but around $25 a sheet if i remember correctly anywa... most places will do so many cuts free, then charge like $1 a cut after that.

kevin Bronze Member Username: Tremor1127 Post Number: 85 Registered: Aug-06	Posted on Saturday, September 02, 2006 - 21:23 GMT home depot wouldnt even cut a sheet in half for me to leave with cause of OSHA (sp) then mccoys said their saw wasnt super great and had a pretty unhealthy blade so prescision cuts from them was out of question... electronic stores were charging me 50 or 55 to do it for 1 hours labor and it would take all day... i ended up giving a guy my friend knows that used to work at one of the electronic stores as an installer my money cause he does it on the side now... i was still suprised he charged me 50 to do it...

Post Number: 1337 Registered: Jun-05	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 03:03 GMT My lowes and home depot will cut the wood - but they will NOT do precision cuts, etc. I tried this, and unfortunately found out the hard way. motherfuckers.

Mr_Kebo Silver Member Username: Mr_kebo Albertville, Al USA Post Number: 419 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 04:33 GMT well i work there so i can do my own cuts and i will say that they panel saw is dead on. ive built many boxes and never had problems.
kevin Bronze Member Username: Tremor1127 Post Number: 92 Registered: Aug-06	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 07:40 GMT chad lee, where do you see 5/8"? im using 3/4" with double front...
kevin Bronze Member Username: Tremor1127 Post Number: 93 Registered: Aug-06	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 08:02 GMT nm, different kevin...
bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3315 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 08:56 GMT even if they do not do precision cuts thats still good, because if you have acess to a radial arm saw, you can make ur cuts pretty dead on
[Kéviñ_Previé] Silver Member Username: Frkkevin Lake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 566 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 09:52 GMT Most stores only sell 5/8"s.. not 3/4" .. btw.. it is only 1/8" difference not to mention I glass resin the inside of my boxes and use a double baffle. 5/8" - 3/4" .. basically the same thing
Chad Lee Gold Member Username: Bestmankind Los Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 5189 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 15:38 GMT cool. sorry for asking. lol. kevin when you glass resin the inside do you just pour it in there or do you brush it on??????
[Kéviñ_Previé] Silver Member Username: Frkkevin Lake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 569 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 00:39 GMT I brush it on in layers.. The whole purpose of it is to allow the air to flow more freely.. ie a slicker surface but it can also change the frequency your box peaks..
J@Yme Silver Member Username: Crayola0 Wisconsin Post Number: 738 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 00:54 GMT i would neva pay that amount to get my wood cut...just go to ur neighbors house if u dont have a saw...or fine someone who has one.

[Kéviñ_Previé] Silver Member Username: Frkkevin Lake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 572 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 01:06 GMT still better than spending that money on a prefab box or having some place build it

Paul Larrea Silver Member Username: Wingmanalive Pine hill, Nj US Post Number: 260 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 01:26 GMT I started working as a carpenter's apprentice, moved up to general construction and contracting, finally have my own shop and can manufacture just about anything. I've been using and own every kind of power tool for 20 years. Scars all over my body to prove it. I @#!%ing hate when I have the wife's car and need something cut, some 17 year old punk at the home center says I can't use the panel saw because I'm not "qualified". Then, when the retard cuts my sh!t short, I have to deal with it. I say....

J@Yme Silver Member Username: Crayola0 Wisconsin Post Number: 743 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 01:50 GMT wrong thread david..lol
David Brunner Silver Member Username: Kaos13 Phoenix, AZ Post Number: 162 Registered: Oct-04	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 01:52 GMT wtf lol my bad i thought i had that other thread opened lol.
kevin Silver Member Username: Tremor1127 Post Number: 108 Registered: Aug-06	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 06:32 GMT haha, i just got back and was reading the replies and seen what david wrote... i thought i was tripping... haha... anyway, i cut the hole for the sub, used nuts and bolts for the wires and ran the sub out of my friends car (off his kicker zx750.1 at .9 ohm!) cause i dont have an amp... the amp would cut out at about 15% of volume but it was still way loud... i think wires are touching the speaker or something because there is a very loud rattling noise coming from the port when the hatch is open but when it is closed and im in the driver seat you can hardly hear it... ive gotta figure that one out... would polyfil help too?
marshall white Gold Member Username: Southernrebel Monroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3227 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 22:00 GMT skil-saw, 2 c-clamps, and a good 8ft 1"x4" thats all you you will ever need for any cut you wanna make when building boxes. (unless you are building a f-ked up box) that is all i ever use. i just leave the MDF in my truck bed and let the part i'm gonna cut hang off the tail gate. great cuts everytime.
