Box Build
|
Bronze Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 64 Registered: Dec-06 | I copied and pasted this from cajunkyard.com. Thought you guys might want to see it as well.... Chris came up with another insane design for me to work on. It will not be like anything you have ever seen from me. Im trying something new with it. Chris talked me into trying out the flared port. BUT, :naughty: he also asked me to take it to the next level. However, we are going to keep that a secret until the box is finished. He wanted to add a little more of a "flare" to it, I guess. LOL. All I can say, is I have never seen a box like this before, so it should be something a little different for everyone to see. It might be a tough one, but Im ready for it. Hopefully I will get going on it tomorrow night, so it should be finished by this weekend. Ill definitely post pics of the finished box. **** This project is well underway. After getting all the cuts figured out, spacing, and placement, we are ready to roll. I dont want to give away the whole idea yet, but here are a few teaser pics....

Bronze Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 66 Registered: Dec-06 | Little more than a flared port, thats all Ill say. This is my first crack at doing the flare though, pretty easy, once you get the hang of it. Guess Ill have to learn how to post pics here, im not so computer savvy. |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 4255 Registered: Sep-04 | my guess is that the secret is no corners. lol. good design. I've been thinking about doing that myself. me n dave were both gonna build a box for his 95 n see whose hits a better number and i was going to implement that in a way but i had to leave for a week unexpectedly so i dont have time to do it anymore. i guess maybe for the next comp. great work fisher. glad you stayed here. |

Bronze Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 72 Registered: Dec-06 | Thanks Trevor. Seems like its a pretty good place to be. Some members are a little harsh at times, especially to box builders. Logan seems to have a pretty good rep around here, and anyone else trying to step in to build, doesnt get very far. Hopefully I can a do a few builds for some of these guys.... |

Platinum Member Username: RovinMy 1 12 Atom... Post Number: 11511 Registered: Jul-05 | i too am thinking its a continuous walled box using 1 long piece of mdf - no joints with a cover top\bottom should = to better air velocity & output ......  |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5061 Registered: Jun-04 | I agree rovin.....why not flare the top part of the port too for maximum airflow from the port |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5062 Registered: Jun-04 | like the flared tcab kicker box http://www.spkrman.com/boxpics/#flair |

Platinum Member Username: RovinMy 1 12 Atom... Post Number: 11514 Registered: Jul-05 | ^^^ now that spkman dude does some BEAUTIFUL looking work - AWESOME stuff ! .... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5063 Registered: Jun-04 | Rovin what do you think about flaring the top and bottom (also) of a box like that tcab? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 587 Registered: May-06 | That box looks sick, and makes me want to try something like that. Fischer how big is the box you are making? 1 or 2 subs? Cu ft? How did you go about tuning it? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 85 Registered: Dec-06 | John, No C if Fisher ;) It is 1.5 cubes IIRC @ 32 hz for a single 12" sub. Chris, did my design for me, he is amazing. He can be reached at chris@fishercustoms.com for any questions. Sean-- I didnt see any boxes TCAB had that had anything flared besides the port. It would be inpossible to flare ALL edges in a single piece. |

Gold Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 1078 Registered: Jun-04 | bj whats ur email again bud ... gotta ask u a couple questions about what you can do as far as a custom enclosure ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5065 Registered: Jun-04 | Oh now I understand what you were refering to. In one piece your right it cant be done. I wasnt thinking about that as your design goal. |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 588 Registered: May-06 | Fisher* ;) I am planning on building a box similar to this and I wanted to experience the flared port. What is the best way to go about this? 10 slits .5" apart, and bend it 90 degress? Anything else I should keep in mind when trying this flared port out.  |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 88 Registered: Dec-06 | Mike, email is bj@fishercustoms.com John, thats how I do it. Only thing I recommend is measure twice, cut once. |

Silver Member Username: Jesse59672OK Post Number: 342 Registered: Feb-07 | thats hot lol.. whats going in it 12 or 15? must be tuned pretty low too.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 95 Registered: Dec-06 | Its for a 12. I think its tuned around 32ish. Its only 1.5 cubes Net. |

Bronze Member Username: Mrray13Post Number: 31 Registered: Oct-06 | man, you've got skills... and mark, aka spkrman, copied "his" design from snoopdan. check out the tcab, is it worth it thread. and dwight needs to see this, as do polo and whomever else was doubting you bro. keep up the good work. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 589 Registered: Nov-05 | mrogowski , thats not MDF, thats the really expensive (30-40 a sheet) stuff u can only order from ur lumber yard. i forget the name right now. fischer would know |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 104 Registered: Dec-06 | Its called Rust-oleam (sp) hammered paint. I have done it before, where I do the black, and then just spray paint over it to get a different color. Turned out nice. |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 105 Registered: Dec-06 | JK, its called Trupan. Its a lightweight MDF. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 2847 Registered: Jan-06 | All I see nowadays is everyone biting off each-others ideas. As far as what you said Kent even if Mark did copy, which I am sure the flared slot wasn't new to begin with at least he did it first, took fisher a while to catch up, eh?  |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 106 Registered: Dec-06 | I dont know how to take that polo. Just seem like your hating again. Like I said, I build what my customer wants. I have been too busy lately to "experiement" with new ideas. I will continue to stick to what sells. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 2848 Registered: Jan-06 | I just find it funny that I just got done stating how plain your boxes look and now you come up with what everyone else is doing, lol. You can't say they are new ideas, but just everyone elses, how original... Also I think the biggest thing I have a problem with is people promoting there business here on the forum. I don't mind offering to build boxes for people that is fine but you need to change your Forum name, it is irritating. You want advertisement don't be a jew, pay e-coustics for an add banner, even Mark Potts uses his real name here... Polo.. PS- Nothing against Jews, just a stereotypical saying in use, sorry.. |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 107 Registered: Dec-06 | Its funny, this build was going BEFORE you mentioned my boxes being plain. I just think its funny how you think you can just come up with some new idea no one has ever done. I mean, its a slot ported box for crying out loud. There is not much you can do that hasnt been done yet, that will still make it a ported box when your finished. I never said this was a "new idea". Just said "Chris talked me into trying out the flared port. BUT, :naughty: he also asked me to take it to the next level." If my user name is that irritating to you, you could always just avoid me. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 2855 Registered: Jan-06 | But what you are building has been built before and no Chris didn't come up with that... Polo.. |

Silver Member Username: Goodie_goopMidland, Texas U.S. Post Number: 581 Registered: Oct-06 | new idea or not...that box is sexy |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 109 Registered: Dec-06 | I have never seen pics of a box like this before. Care to share? If it has, great. Big deal. Personally, I have never seen it. You know what, the carpeting technique I use, I did a tutorial on it. A lot of people use it now, or have made variations of it. Do I care? Of course not. Its part of the business. Or any business for that matter. I can honestly say, you make absolutely no sense polo. |

Bronze Member Username: Mrray13Post Number: 33 Registered: Oct-06 | polo..get real. bj isn't the only one here promoting his business. remember, this is an unmoderated forum. if bj has to quit, then so does low-hz. showrides and kevin go around doing the exact same thing bj is doing. and everyone loves it. get off his nutz. as to mark and tcab. everything he's everydone has been coping off real competitors. except use cheap, flimsy wood, not deliver what was sold, run and hide when he gets called out, act like like a chump and constantly screw people over. you had good luck with him, great. most haven't, hence why he's banned just about everywhere but here. where he goes about doing the exact thing bj does, only mark's products fall way short of bj's quality. bj..i'm mrray13 at ca.com, cso, ssa and just about every forum out there. we discussed cbfryman's box building inabilities awhile back. keep up the good work bro and tell polo to kiss off. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
|
Silver Member Username: Bjfish11Garden Plain, KS USA Post Number: 116 Registered: Dec-06 | Oh Kent, thats right. That thread was hilarious. Cbfryman was soooo critical of everyone that built boxes, but when people critiqued him he got so pissed. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Mrray13Post Number: 37 Registered: Oct-06 | lol...yeah. it seemed to chase him off the boards for awhile. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
