Silver Member Username: Gibson5469Post Number: 133 Registered: Jul-05 | quick question for you. how do you go about cutting the subwoofer hole out? just draw the circle and then cut it out with a jig saw? or the router method? Also, do you cut inside the line and then sand so its perfect? On my third box now, can't seem to get it *perfect*. |
|
Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5832 Registered: Feb-06 | I use a jigsaw. I always cut outside the line so if i need to i can sand it. |
|
Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 40 Registered: Mar-06 | router is the only way to get things perfect, you'll never get there with a jigsaw  |

Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5834 Registered: Feb-06 | I fu*king hate routers |

Bronze Member Username: Kariya762Liberty Township, Ohio U.S.A. Post Number: 29 Registered: Feb-07 | logan did you get my email with the pic and info on the dimensions withthe back seat down.

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 174 Registered: Sep-06 | Logan, While I can appreciate your disdain for routers, they do have their benefits, especially if you need to do subwoofers in a recessed/flushed mounted application. But, router's are not really required for cutting the cutout's for subwoofers, a jigsaw will do the job just fine. |

Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5841 Registered: Feb-06 | nope i never got it. Should I start On it? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Kariya762Liberty Township, Ohio U.S.A. Post Number: 37 Registered: Feb-07 | no don't start on it yet cuz i gotta talk to c.free again about the subs and if he will sell only one or not. I'll tell you the final plans by the end of today. |

Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5867 Registered: Feb-06 | why cedar?lmao |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1398 Registered: Mar-06 | I need somthing that can take a pretty good beating... i hit train tracks a little hard at times... really Sh!tty ones.. MDF would prolly crack or somthing when the box bounces day after day.. but if u can do it with 1" mdf... im still good with that lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 60 Registered: Mar-06 | if your car hasnt fallen apart, normal .75" MDF braced where needed wont fall apart |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1409 Registered: Mar-06 | well the thing is i dont really have much room as it is so the bracing would take more of the space up.. and cedar... no brace needed its solid as a rock.. u can set a car on my 6cu 40hz dual 12 box..cedar and oak but it cost me like 150$ in wood... haha.. but i wasted alot of it |
|
Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 86 Registered: Mar-06 | cedar is a soft wood, btw. Birch is a much better material. Your still going quite overboard. |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1420 Registered: Mar-06 | my bad i meant to say birch  im an idiot haha i grabbed a cedar board by mistake and used it to make one of the tuning boards lol ... and i can say the birch\oak were a B!tch to cut and sand... is that why you said why not mdf logan.... is it that much easier to cut and sand? lol |
|
Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 104 Registered: Mar-06 | if you have a proper blade, plywood isnt tough to cut at all |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1421 Registered: Mar-06 | plywood? is any of that considered plywood, maybe MDF but the BIRCH and OAK i have is one solid piece of wood not ply. and let me tell you... it sucked tyo build the bvox out of it but it is strongg.. took like 8 hours to build the box mainly sanding\cutting |
|
Silver Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 142 Registered: Jun-06 | could you do a 15" kicker l7 box w/ space restrictions? it would need to fit in the back of an eclipse? i could prob pay 100 if you would do that |
|
Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 106 Registered: Mar-06 | "plywood? is any of that considered plywood, maybe MDF but the BIRCH and OAK i have is one solid piece of wood not ply. and let me tell you... it sucked tyo build the bvox out of it but it is strongg.. took like 8 hours to build the box mainly sanding\cutting" Do you have pics of the end grain on your sheet of solid oak and/or birch? Thats very... very... very expensive. MDF is quite obviously not a plywood, lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1433 Registered: Mar-06 | btw i only suggested mdf to maybe be consider as a plywood is because its a man made wood, like pressed and glued and stuff.. not like birch and oak.. i dont have pics that would show that, i took them after i sanded it and carpeted the box.. u might be able to find some old ones on here but that wood was deffinetly not cheap.. like i said it was about 150$ or so |

Bronze Member Username: NkknutsonPost Number: 97 Registered: Dec-06 | when you bild your boxes how many inches do you put between your screws? |
|
Gold Member Username: StnorrisDavenport, IA US Post Number: 2012 Registered: Apr-06 | 5-10"s apart will work, just make sure ur using some strong wood glue |
|
Bronze Member Username: NkknutsonPost Number: 98 Registered: Dec-06 | any good suggestions on a good glue? i was planning on elmers is there a better brand |
|
Gold Member Username: StnorrisDavenport, IA US Post Number: 2017 Registered: Apr-06 | elmers wood glue is actually really strong. anotehr good glue is gorilla glue but its more expensive. --haha nice logan, i dont believe in sealed boxes at all either, but they are an easier build....i might have to hit u up for a 15 single ported box sometime... |
|
Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleBeavers Box Building Post Number: 5895 Registered: Feb-06 | Nickyp0219 yes i could do that. send me the dimensions and what not. I use locktite. It seems to work very good. I put screws about every 7 inches. |
|
New member Username: KillerdestroyerPost Number: 2 Registered: Feb-07 | I was wondering.(this is for anyone) What is the best type of wood and lining for a good sub box? |
|
Gold Member Username: StnorrisDavenport, IA US Post Number: 2021 Registered: Apr-06 | MDF 3/4" thick or 1" thick for something that needs to be stronger |

|
Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 164 Registered: Mar-06 | A lumber yard is the only ones who *might* have 1" birch or oak... your better off just laminating a .25" panel on top of .75". |

Silver Member Username: Impala63ragDD 9512s , Orion d5000 Post Number: 576 Registered: Sep-06 | Logan, I was trying to find your "anyone need a box built #1" yesterday. A friend of mine is upgrading his system in a few weeks when taxes come in. I showed him ROE, and recommended RE, FI, and SI. He wants to run one 15" on a 1000w. He has an $800 budget though for sub, box, and amp. I wanted to show him your previous work, could you put a link to it on here? maybe it's time for a part three?  |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 51 Registered: Dec-06 | Logan, you made these designs for a 15" Fi SSD: http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=36&Eh=17&Dia=9&Xmax=24&Vd= .17&NumW=1&Vb=3.5&Fb=34&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0 But I noticed that you had the Xmax as 24mm and the tuning frequency as 34hz. The website has the SSD as 21mm Xmax and tuning frequency as 33hz. So is the box you made correct and/or better? |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1467 Registered: Mar-06 | Logan if you are goin to menards, and its anything like the one by me, they have 1" Birch and Oak .. But logan do you know how to resize the box fine because of the wood size change?... if not ill see if DJ can help me change this again... but i dont really dont want to bother him after all his help already lol |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1468 Registered: Mar-06 | hey logan u got aim or anything? i was just wondering what town ur from so i can figure out how long to expect the trip to be to pick up the box. btw do you spray paint the port hole inside black? |
|
Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleImortal Box Building Post Number: 6028 Registered: Feb-06 | Impala63rag-             Jgelp7- Yea it was a mistake, but you will not notice a difference at all. KiLLa- I have some what of an Idea, but you might want to have someone else recalculate it. |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1470 Registered: Mar-06 | Alright ill talk to some people, those pics almost gave me a bon3r  ...OT if the box is higher then the rear seat level in a SUV that would disqualify me from any street beat comps..if i read the rules correct? But its going to be my daily setup!!  how g@y |

Bronze Member Username: Jgelp7Post Number: 52 Registered: Dec-06 | Ok so will this be the best then? http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=36&Eh=17&Dia=9&Xmax=21&Vd= .17&NumW=1&Vb=3.5&Fb=33&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0 Cut the hole in the top right of the box?
