|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 10821 Registered: Oct-05 | oh ok. lol. logan i made the box this size on purpose. i need to get as much out of my amps as possible. don't want too much box rise. anyways the recomended for each driver is 3-5 cuft so it fits right in the required specs. |

|
Silver Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 526 Registered: Oct-06 | wait ? i hope you're joking...loss of db's from a carpeted box ? |

|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 words Post Number: 4221 Registered: Jun-06 | Tell ya what, if it still works, it's a good tool. I have no less than 35 drills. Cordless and standard. The one I use the most? My two speed, 20 year old Black and Decker dinosaur. Why? I guess I'm kinda married to it. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 10840 Registered: Oct-05 | that jig saw does work but it just takes too long. also i have to keep blowing the saw dust off cause i can't see the lines. besides all that it works well. oh and also i have to wear gloves cause it gets real hot. i think its gonna die soon. lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1692 Registered: Mar-06 | i hope bigger box = louder in some sense..... i just built a 12cu box for a pair of dd9515's tuned to about 40hz~ the box needs better eyes... |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 words Post Number: 4227 Registered: Jun-06 | Sharp blades make all the difference. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3917 Registered: Sep-04 | i had a jigsaw once that i was cutting a cutout for a 15 inch sub 1.5 inch baffle.... stuff started to ooze out.... it was its insides melting lol... router with jig FTW lol. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 10843 Registered: Oct-05 | i need a table saw. i did this one with only a skill saw and it isn't as perfect as i wanted it to be. its slightly off on one part. |
|
Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessDD 9515f, USA Post Number: 3065 Registered: Apr-06 | 12 cubes for 2 15s is gigantic i sould say 8 cubes wouldve been find :-\ |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 words Post Number: 4228 Registered: Jun-06 | I love my tools. I just wish I had room for a panel saw. Life would be alot easier. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 10855 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah panel saws are awesome. killa that box would be too big for those subs. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 12 Atomic ... Post Number: 10854 Registered: Jul-05 | ..stop being so damn cheap & get a new jigsaw -lol im liking that 2x4 looking braces - hope u gonna double baffle it though looks good dude ....  |
|
Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 470 Registered: Dec-06 | Chad, very nice box but half an hour to cut the hole??? That's like longer than your last box lol. I don't know if you are going to be building any more boxes anytime soon but you need to buy a decent router and then buy a circle jig like a jasper 200 and get a couple quality carbide spiral upcut bits (throw material up and out as you are cutting to avoid bogging) like this: http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/orderstatus/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_solid.html. That's the system I have been using forever. Perfect circle every time, quick as sh!t. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 10860 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah i need it. more box building to come. what i really need is a table saw so i can get some perfect cuts. thanks rovin. i don't think i will do the double baffle though. the brace should hold. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 12 Atomic ... Post Number: 10862 Registered: Jul-05 | well each sub is weighing over 50pds so i would strongly suggest u do double baffle it ....... |
|
Gold Member Username: Livin_loud18 of Love Fi Audio Post Number: 1240 Registered: Jan-06 | table saws are damn handy, but some can only measure so far for your cut... |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3596 Registered: Jan-06 | looking goooood |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 10875 Registered: Oct-05 | this box is kind of a trial. i trying to see if the subs and ports firing like that will gain some spl. if it works i am probably gonna give the design to phil to build. the box in the pic didn't come out to clean. lol. i will have results with this box this sunday. hell if i hit 150 then ima just keep it. clean or not as long as it did the job. i only spent $60 on the box. i used the resin left over from my last box. lol. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 words Post Number: 4275 Registered: Jun-06 | ^^^Now that's a little funny. |
|
Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 1874 Registered: May-05 | ^^^It's more realistic though, the box is only tuned to 36-38hz. |

Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleImortal Box Building, Email us wit... Post Number: 6383 Registered: Feb-06 | Isnt this box for bass race? How do you get that big sheet of MDF in your car?lol |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindKINETIKLos Angeles, CA Post Number: 11016 Registered: Oct-05 | i had to cut it at home depot before i put it in my car logan. also yes it is for bass race but after hearing it yesterday, it is a nice spl box also. |
