speaker box build lots of pics

[NinjuhhNutz]

Haha I heard that. I think all projects like this go a bit smoother with 2 or more sets of eyes/hands that are actually interested and willing to work on it until it's done.

[06_GATOR_VOY]

amp idea/location

[06_GATOR_VOY]

 

[Black_tb]

nice!!

 

[dmanns67]

How does she sound?

 

[06_GATOR_VOY]

nice!!

thanks.... cant wait to get my 4 channel so I can rework all the wires and do a better job with the amp(s)

How does she sound?

still trying to tune it. I may have to add some polyfill to tease it alil. sub is still stiff too so trying to work that out as well. I think once I get it tuned correctly etc I will be happy with it. im very picky lol. I get it to sound good to the ear and then the next time I get in the truck I think it sounds off so I mess with it more lol. I need to get my muilmeter out and do my 50hz test and set the gains that way.

Been m.i.a. from doing anything to the tb lately, buddy of mine is coming over tomorrow morning, we're getting some work done on his Camaro and my speakerbox is getting some more attention

 

[Hypnotoad]

Wow! Now that is some nice work, I'm impressed.

How big is the box? To me it, looks a little small to be a ported box.

 

[NinjuhhNutz]

Maannnnnn I'll tell ya...having the right tools to do a job, makes the job SO much easier!
at this rate, I'll have her done before I retire

thanks. for what it is im happy with it. wish i had a matching one for the other side lol. as far as the box size its shy of 1 cube but the sub loves the port. im going to take the sub back out and add some polyfill to the back portion of the box(cubby hole etc) and reinstall it to see how it sounds plus just to tease the sub thinking its a bigger box. overall the sub is breaking in and gets louder and louder each day.
have to start posting pics of my new build even though its not a GM truck its going in lol

man all you need is a ruler/tape measure, pencil, jigsaw, staple gun and the materials to build the box lol dont need anything fancy. jk. it does help having the right tools. i typically just use a jigsaw to make my cuts even for the speaker rings. just recently got a router to cut the holes. oh a palm/orbital sander helps to although i find myself hand sanding alot of the areas lol.

so????

don't let me finish my wifes build before you finish yours lol

 

[NinjuhhNutz]

so????

don't let me finish my wifes build before you finish yours lol

man at the rate things are going...between the box and my retrofit both feeling neglected, idk when I'm gonna get finished
seems like I'm either at work, the dojo, or trying to eat, sleep, breathe between coming and going. I got shafted on my vacation at work, so when I have the time, I'll get on it. If I could devote a couple days to it, I could get the major work done, and then just be left with the sanding/perfecting...which I could do here and there

lol i feel ya.

i typically work on it like maybe an hour or so then call it quits so thats why it takes me some time to finish my projects.... lil by lil esp since i typically work a 40+ hr week and sometimes i just dont feel like messing with it lol.

 

[NinjuhhNutz]

Oh I get it...lol especially working 2nd shift getting home about this time, nowhere inside to really work, and too tired to anyways

oh shit man..... I would never get any work done. I have set a deadline for my wifes build but doubt I will have it done.... gives me like month and a half to build and install....doubt it

 

[06_GATOR_VOY]

so the sub will be coming out for a week or so come this weekend and will be putting in 2 10s from vminnovations to test them out for the company. its their entry level sub so shall see how it goes. just building a quick box for them and let them beat. they are rated 500w rms each.

 

[06_GATOR_VOY]

so after a few months of play time and trying to adjust this system, i have come to the conclusion that the sub doesnt like the size of the box.... a tad to small for it. so what does that mean? well it means new box design to come shortly.

 

[06_GATOR_VOY]

so im in the process of piecing together a new system...... the goodies i have gotten so far



thats my new sub choice



and for my doors i figured i pick up an amp for them...












i still need a new headunit and a set of rear speakers(6.5" coax)
