This is what ive been working on for a few days. I worked yesterday from 10 a.m, until 3 a.m, with about 4 hours of downtime in between. it was alot of work....enjoy the pics...
first caulked with latex caulk, then put on a layer of fiberglass resin (no mats)
resin poured into the corner
daily port ~34hz port....3.8 cuft net
i plan on cutting off ~1.5" because after putting in support boards, having the box slightly shorter than 16",and resining, the box lost some cuft, and i think the tuning is around like 31 - 32 now.
painted and primed. painted with black texture stone paint. (thanks meade) wiring sub with 12 guage and 2 16 guages (its what i had laying around) homemade speaker terminal on the inside of box. looks really good on the outside! (thanks cannan) interchangealbe port in. port done with bolts and t-nuts (i need to get one more longer bolt). The port is also sealed with weather stripping but i dont have a picture of it. (thanks cannan)
sub installed. looks even better in person.
amp lit up in trunk. spl port. Part of it is external, part internal. i plan on putting a baffle in the middle when i make it.
Next im going to seal off the rest of my trunk, and then build an amp rack...
Also i ordered a 200/125 alt from irragi, and he shipped out 2 days ago, so i hope its here soon.
ya rovin its sounded good. i just want to take a little off the port now, and then finish my spl port, so that i can tune it to the resonant freq. that should be nice...
recently a guy i was talking too has a 15 Jugg off a 1400wrms white mmats amp & said thinner speaker wires were melting so he used some power cable 8g wire & nothing melted since
i know some ppl r gonna post here saying oh 12g wire is fine blah blah & ur wasting $ getting thicker wires - but IMO heck whats a few $ 4 a safe piece of mine .....

wow is all i have to say steve...when i came over yesterday it was nice but now u've got so much more done!!! that is hella nice dude!! and havoc is right i wish i had the patience to do that!!! that box is killer, i mite just pay u to make me one if thats cool! since we only live 5 minutes away!! peace out steve , and nice work!
Some designs allow you to leave the box un-dampened. I am wondering how it sounds? Does it sound boxy or hollow? The thinnest dampening I have personally used is two pannels(back and bottom) with 5/8" carpet padding.
usin fiberglass resin inside of box does it make a diffrents like make it liek a lil louder? i no it seals it up a lil better but does it do anything else??
...but i havent had much time with it ....
