is that chipboard?

How come you havent used MDF?

rock · Mar 16, 2005

chip board - yes

used chip board for my current box as I got it fo free, was going to buy MDF but then got more chip for free....bottom line.....Im cheap!

the mdf is sold by a huge sheet and is quite expensive....Think it was about R280.

Looks good mate.

Nafoff · Mar 16, 2005

so to make a sealed box yourself you just need to silicone the inside where sides meet

Middo · Mar 17, 2005

looking good so far - you going to carpet it ?

rock · Mar 17, 2005

yeah, carpet to match the boot but hopefully some grey vinyl inserts on the front panel ??

need to find the perfect grill, the "waffle iron" Im using at the moment, although very practical, looks crap.....well at least those clips that hold it in place, need somethnig more subtle......ideas ?

rock · Mar 20, 2005

front panel started, new carpet and grey vinyl for covering.http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/glenwood/dscf0043.jpg

the volume of the box depends on the sub

FiDoDiDo · Mar 20, 2005

Each individual one, as in it will say it with the packaging?

Dink · Mar 20, 2005

yeah usually tells you box info in the manual/spec sheet

Yeah, or if not go to their website for the spec.

rock · Mar 20, 2005

its a ligtning audio bolt 10" sub, required volume is 0.75 cu. feet.

internal dims of my enclosure is exactly 0.75 cubic feet: 6" x 18" x 12"......(always new maths would come in handy one day....)

finising off the last bits today and should be covering tomorrow......mmm...I can smell the glue now already.

Bryan · Mar 20, 2005

to work out the internal dimension of a box

height (inches) x width (inches) x depth (inches) = gross internal volume (cubic inches)

gross internal volume (cubic inches)
_______________________________ = gross internal volume (cubic feet)
. 1728

or

height (cm) x width (cm) x depth (cm)
________________________________ = gross internal volume (litres)
, 1000

hope this helps everyone

andy_leitch · Mar 20, 2005

do the manufacturers take into account the volume that their sub takes up though? this would mean that your box is actually too small if they dont.

Bryan · Mar 20, 2005

usually states in the manual

Dan Page · Mar 20, 2005

looking good so far! wouldnt mind doin somat like that for my next boot build.

Craig Ed · Mar 20, 2005

Is there not some where that sells these pre-made to fit in the sides of the boot in the clio 98 - Current. I always wanted a nice boot instal. My sub is smak bang in the middle and fits flush as i took that bar thing outta the boot that goes behind the seats of the rear passengers.

rock · Mar 21, 2005

Brum Man · Mar 31, 2005
