yea just downloaded it so this was my first time using it. it pretty cool how it lets you seen in 3d.

I used it to design my first box back in 02.

ok so i got my speaker rings in today. i also got some torx sockets so i could remore the seatblets to get the side panels off. I also took off the back wall. Looking back now i probly could have take it off by just removing the 1 torx screw behind each of the 3 hooks, instead of pulling off the side panel. I would have started cutting and fitting mdf but it was to damn hot.

making good progress buddy

 

[reefguy89]

should i leave a gap in the back for the vents or are they ok to cover up?

 

[Deviate]

I have seen where guys have covered one and left the other uncovered without problems. If you cover both I think it might cause to much back pressure and prevent your doors from closing easily with the windows up.

ok so i have been making some good progress on the box. Today i got the base cut and fit and also started the back wall. Around the seabelt for the middle seat i cut and recessed the bezel in place.

hey i got a question for yall. do i secure the box the my truck or just leave it loose?

 

[TexasRammer]

It looks like its gonna be pretty secured the way it is, isnt it?

 

[reefguy89]

well its not attactede to anything right now.

 

[the codes]

maybe get some velcro strips, just to secure it from sliding or wobbling? that way you dont have to leave permanent holes or anything from screws

 

[bigtigga84]

Looks good man. should build two while your at it lol.

 

[WhiteExpress]

well its not attactede to anything right now.

Attach it. Solidly and permanently. Run at least a couple bolts through the bottom of it. People will argue and say it's just fine, and in most situations they might be right. But you don't want anything making an accident worse if it happens.

Mount it solid.

ok so today i picked up some fleece. it was on sale so i got a bunch extra. I also got the back wall all fitted and only have a couple supports to cut for the center. After that i have to mount the sub rings then i can start streching the fleece and fiberglassing it. I also got some measurements of the inside of the what will be the subbox. it looks like i will have a little over 1 cubic ft of air space. Is this enough or to much? What about polyfill? Do i need it will it give it better sound(harder hitting)?

 

[TexasRammer]

If you have the manual for the sub it should tell you how much space you need

 

[darrenk]
