Friday, March 27, 2009 - 07:18 GMT What's up guys, My friend and I are about this start up a company this summer called D&L Audio Technologies, where we do custom installs, installations and set-ups for car, home and pro audio. We want to expand to be able to produce our own line of speakers later down the road (once we have settled down and got our name out there). But anyways, we just finished a box for 2 12W3's! we tried a couple new things such as port bending etc. For our first time bending a port i think it came out pretty well! tuned to about 30hz and its 4cu. Took a bunch of pics and they should be up tomorrow sometime... and im also saying whats up to the older members on the forum! its been a while cuz of school and such but you should be seeing more of me from now on... pics of box (not fully completed) should be up tomorrow!

Friday, March 27, 2009 - 19:51 GMT box is very very sturdy. and also extremely light... we used Trupan light instead of regular MDF and wow! there is a huge difference in weight and how it cuts.

Friday, March 27, 2009 - 19:54 GMT here is the final product as of now. We still have to use the hole filler on the screw holes, and also have to paint the whole box...

Monday, March 30, 2009 - 00:55 GMT So the holes are all filled now and sanded down so its perfectly smooth along all sides of box. We decided were going to suede the box instead of painting it. Finished pics should be up later this week :D
