Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 341 Registered: Dec-06 | Got 2 BIG projects going on right now... there has been a couple of threads associated with them over at ca.com. So instead of reposting everything, I will just link you to my thread over at caj.com. Sorry for your inconvenience, but it is really much, much easier this way.... Let me know what you guys think.

|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 344 Registered: Dec-06 | Oh Paul, I didnt take any offense to it. Just wanted to see what you were talking about ;) This logo will actually be cut into the bracing, and my logo will be cut with a cnc into the back of the plexi window. Should be pretty cool when its all done... |

|
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12451 Registered: Jun-06 | Nice work with the jig! Makes me wanna pull out some wood and play lol. Whoa that sounded fucked up.  Anyway, I see you keep your sub cut outs. Any reason? I can never find any use for them. I keep a few just in case but you have a stock pile of them. J/W. |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 350 Registered: Dec-06 | LOL, as long as you dont decide to post pics of you playing with your wood, I think it will be ok... Well, the only reason I really keep my cut outs is for making rings.... which I dont really do too much of, so I could probably stop keeping them, LOL. But its kinda funny to look at sometime, just looking over and seeing over a 100 circle cutouts stacked there.... |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1693 Registered: Mar-07 | WOW great work with cutting out the bracing/logo piece |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1750 Registered: Mar-07 | what's with painting the Fi logo white and then painting over it with red??? I'm confused.... |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 1912 Registered: Nov-06 | he used blue tape to protect the white he just hasn't peeled the tape of yet common sense FTW ;) |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 354 Registered: Dec-06 | Its masked off... It was either paint it white, mask it off and painted the entire inside red... or paint and mask off the entire inside just to paint the Fi logo white... |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1751 Registered: Mar-07 | common sense to you sir not me, I've never painted anything.... good job BJ |

|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 362 Registered: Dec-06 | I love the design Dylan came up with for the Fi box. It turned out very nice. Yea, that box took about 5x as much time as a normal box, but I think it was worth it. If only this is what it took to get to heaven.... LOL. It would be too easy... |
|

Dylan @ fishercustoms.com, is the email for the new designer. You can also pm him on ca.com or caj.com under JBLCAMRY. Our email has been acting strange lately, so we have not been getting all emails... |

Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 369 Registered: Dec-06 | Made another little update to the elephant box. Also, getting everything worked out for the Fi Boxe's plexi, you should see that completed very soon. |
|
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12848 Registered: Jun-06 | Niiiiiice! You take your time I can tell. Both of those are gonna be SAWEET! |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 370 Registered: Dec-06 | Thanks Paul. Usually it doesnt take me this long to knock enclosures out... But these involved A LOT of extra work... Hoping to have them both wrapped up with week. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 12936 Registered: Jul-05 | looking good thus far ... hey i know its expensive but wont a CNC mdf cutting machine come in very handy in ur line of work since u do box build for a living right ... |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 372 Registered: Dec-06 | I dont do box building for a living. I just do this on the side.... |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 373 Registered: Dec-06 | The plexi for the FI box was CNC'ed today. Turned out pretty cool I think... |
|
Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 1402 Registered: Oct-05 | Fi box looks kinda awkward... Interesting idea though. |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 375 Registered: Dec-06 | What makes it look awkward, in your opinion? Of course I dont expect everyone to like every project... Im always open to ideas, thats why I ask. |
|
Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 1404 Registered: Oct-05 | Well the bracing looks weird to me. I like the whole idea of making the bracing into something to see through the window. But the two V shaped braces look kinda intruded onto the 'Fi' in the middle. And the FC in the top left looks awkwardly small with the Fi directly in the middle. If I would have done this design - I would have done without the V bracings and made it possibly just regular box bracing with the white Fi in the middle. THEN I would not have painted it RED inside.... it shows all the bracing and make the Fi not stand out. I think it would have been cooler if it was all black inside and then the Fi was appeared to be floating. Then if you really wanted to inscribe something into the plexi - then make it a smaller longer logo @ the bottom edge like. FisherCustoms length wise so it doesnt take focus off the floating Fi. I dunno, just my opinion and I think its a cool idea for people to design stuff out of bracing |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 8149 Registered: Jul-06 | Looks incredible Fisher. I didn't read the whole thread but can I ask how much the customer is paying for the second box? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 12946 Registered: Jul-05 | u guys mostly use 3\4 right ? i like using 1" once space is available & its a powerful sub ...less bracing & energy lost ftw hey man i thought this was ur full time job ....  |
|
Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 700 Registered: Jul-07 | ok those are some awsome boxs and i cant wait to see them done. |
|
Silver Member Username: Wolf_houndPhoenix, AZ Post Number: 550 Registered: Sep-05 | Awesome boxes i am liking the elephant box |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 380 Registered: Dec-06 | Well, the reason the bracing is shaped the way it is, is to all the subs to fit down into the box. Since its an upfiring box, we had to leave room for the subs motor. You know what I mean by that? As for the etched FC, like I said in the threads, I really wanted to be able to make it much larger, but I didnt want it to look crowded with the FI logo. So that really limited me.... I really like your idea with the black and white in the box, but that was a customer requirement. Not much I could do there. But, I am doing another box with a logo in the bracing soon, and its going to be black and white, so we will get a chance to see what that looks like. Just giving you the reasons why some of the stuff was done like it was. But I really appreciate your feedback. Like I said earlier, I love hearing peoples opinions, because it allows other ideas to flow. Thanks to everyone else as well for the compliements. Hopefully I will have more updates tonight. |

Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 381 Registered: Dec-06 | The AudioWerks box is now completely finished, and the Elephant box should be going together rather quickly now... |
|
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 13040 Registered: Jun-06 | I fuggin love that Audioworks box. It was worth the effort. |
|
Silver Member Username: TornPost Number: 500 Registered: Jan-07 | How much total did you charge for the box? |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 382 Registered: Dec-06 | Thanks Paul. As for the cost, well, I have never done something like this before, so I wasnt for sure how much labor was going to be involved. We will just say I undercharged by quite a bit.... |
|
Silver Member Username: TornPost Number: 503 Registered: Jan-07 | How much will it cost if someone on this forums asked you to build something like that? |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 383 Registered: Dec-06 | That exact box, to be built again would run $300 shipped with carpet. Basically, my standard 4 cube price, plus an extra $100 for the plexi, bracing, double baffles, and extra labor. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1933 Registered: Mar-07 | are the prices on your site including shipping? |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 384 Registered: Dec-06 | Yep. I like to keep it simple. Prices DO include shipping. |
|
Silver Member Username: TornPost Number: 504 Registered: Jan-07 | includes shipping? Now that is new to me, should post it on your site standing out more. |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 385 Registered: Dec-06 | Well right under product prices, it says prices include shipping. Maybe if I have the site reworked a little, Ill make it a little more noticable. |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 386 Registered: Dec-06 | Made another update on the Elephant box... |

|
Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 243 Registered: Nov-06 | i was wondering the same thing |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 398 Registered: Dec-06 | LOL Paul. I havent figured out if he calls it that because it weighs as much as one, or a fat elephant can sit on it, without breaking it.... Take your pick I guess... LOL |
