My first box build so don't flame me of my crappy job please =(

16cu ft (1.54) sealed box (figuring out dimensions & tuning of a ported got too confusing in my limited trunk space!)

What's going in:


Picked up what I could afford + the wood cut at home depot (no saw at home! and cant afford one) For the most part, the pieces are pretty good, theres a few that is off by about 1 or 2 cm at the most + or -, but it should be alright with a few screws.

Pretty much what i'll be working with =X!


First side up.. notice the little ammount of space i got to work with =(.. **** small house


wall 2 up..


everything looking solid so far...

hope 3 screws is enough!


from afar.


5 sides completed. the bottom doesnt exactly fit flush, but i suppose its close enough, i saw this polyurethane filler stuff thats suppose to fill in cracks at Home depot that i think ill pick up and just fill in the corners just in case there isn't air tight, but it looks air tight!

I wish I had a saw and like perfect cut pieces so that it would look better :\, but I suppose i gotta work with what i got..

4 sides and the bottom on


about 2cm too short!, gonna fill this part in with that stuff from HD.

think i'll pick up some corner/L brackets for extra support too

All done!



just need to pick up some carpet now, but i'll probably test it before carpeting it... just incase >.<, and waiting for the idq to get here, should be here monday!

 

box actually looks pretty clean. I need to build a box soon for a solobaric 8

 

looking good so far.

 

Did the siliconing yesterday and carpeting today... the damn carpet cost more than the box! (Jipped home depot, paid for one when i had 3 haha (cashiers cant tell when they cut it for you )

Pic of the siliconing yesterday

That thing should damn well be air tight now!

Pics of carpeting, it actually turned out pretty well, when I did measurements I kind of under estimated the amount of carpet I needed, so I was like half an inch short on flaps side, but i fixed it with a little bit of customization (cut out circles with the help of the bottom of my trash can so it kind of looks like it was intentional )

Finished product:




Bottom:


Side 1, this will be the only side you will see since itll be facing the navi unit side, think i did a good job with hiding the flaws with that circle


The other side, same thing, but the uncarpeted area was smaller so i only needed a smaller one, it won't be able to be seen if you just look at it anyway since it'll be against the wall of the car
