Hey people

I bought a box from supercrewsound.com, it was ok but the longer i had it the more i didn't like it. So i decided what the hell, i would try to construct my own. here is my progress so far. A member suggested middle supports, is it needed? Also i used Liquid nails and a nail gun to construct it. After the liquid nails dry im going to use silicone to seal it up tight.

lookin good

 

shoulda used titebond, liquid nails isn't that great for subboxes

 

Never even heard of TITEBOND..

 

I have used liquid nails (heavy duty) for several boxes with much success. I typically also use some quiet kote from parts express to seal up the enclosure.

I have also heard that gorilla glue works well.

Either way, if you can, you should go to a pep boys or similar and pick up what is known as "kitty hair"... it's basically a body filler mixed with fiberglass strands... it's great for sealing up sub boxes and is quite strong.

 

I wouldn't use nails they don't really hold the box you need to put in screws every 4-6" IMO. Also don't forget to seal up all the joints inside with silicone and let it dry for 24 hours.

Looks good otherwise wrapping them is the biggest PITA I think

 

Looking good so far! Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Looking good.


I would suggest some type of brace in the middle too. Bracing is your friend when it comes to sub boxes

 

That is what i was thinking, maybe a couple support pillars in the middle, since he wants to keep it as shared airspace and not divided.

 

Here is one of the better ideas for bracing a sub box and not isolating the subs from eachother. this guy is over in the fiberglass forums. Box is for a tundra, and the trashed seat is like that so the fiberglass top can fit in there.

 

thanks for the input guys!

 

looks good bro

personally i like to separate the subs...well unless if they are running on the same amp(which i know you are) then it is ok to put them together but if one goes the other will follow soon after, and i would brace just the top the other pieces are small enough to where you dont need bracing

 

I like your tape! ... looking good though! let us see it when u b dun!

 

You dont have any plans for that do ya? I am too lazy and thats the exact box i want!!
