Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 266 Registered: Sep-06 | The subs are Kenwood 10" shallow mounts and NO, I didn't tell the customer to use those subs for this design, I tried to steer him towards the ED SQ10's. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 268 Registered: Sep-06 | Marc, I made a template of the side part and cut multiple parts out of 1" MDF and glue stacked/clamped and them cut the angle on the TS. |

Silver Member Username: Thumpinwith8sFormerly known as Wolf... Post Number: 222 Registered: Jun-07 | what is the pvc pipe for, if its a port, then why doesn't it go into the chambers for the subs? I'm gonna guess and say its for running the wires to the amp, since thats probably an amp tray in the middle....but wouldn't that effect the sound too? |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindSQ IS THE ONLY WAY Post Number: 13911 Registered: Oct-05 | i believe the pvc pipe is to run the amp cables. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7980 Registered: Jun-06 | Very nice. The rounded sides are a sweet touch. Everything I've seen from you looks like it takes a week to do. Question. I've suggested it to Logan b4, do you sign your boxes or have a trademark somewhere where ppl can identify your work? Personally I would with as many as you guys build. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 269 Registered: Sep-06 | Chad is correct. The PVC pipe is to run the wiring to the amp and it would of been a pain in the azz to fabricate something similar with mdf and no to mention would of displaced more volume doing so. Paul, I sign enclosure enclosure, but, not where it can be seen in plain sight. As for the round sides they are done for a reason as it allows for clearanceof the interior fender wells inside the vette and the cusomer provided a template trace that allowed me to make sure the sides fit the width exactly to size. It generally take a few days to build an enclosure given all the orders I processing at this time and right now that is 10 to 14 days because there's just so many orders from customers. Yeah, I know folks think it shouldn't take that long to build a "box" but, there's also the time that has to be spent designing each one and working out all the details before it comes to start cutting and building one, like the " Vette Box ". Plus, I also have to take care of e-mails, hunt down spec's for this and that and do all that other crap that comes with running a business. |

Silver Member Username: Mike11202Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 751 Registered: Nov-06 | oh yeah how much did you charge for that box? |
|
Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 270 Registered: Sep-06 | Mike, I'm in Willow Grove, PA. As for the cost of that particular enclosure was over $ 280.00 given the level of fabrication details involved & customer wanted options above that over what the price originally quoted. |

He!!, that was back in 68'. |
