I thought it might be a little safer then having the subs in my parcel shelf! lol

box looks a bit small to be ported
have you tidied the wires up
good job tho

[Johnno]

looks good, sound good??

[P23UNK]

i had it sealed but got hardly no sound from it, subs not powerfull enough! so ported it and sounds so much better than my parcel shelf did! lol, needs two more ports tho, gonna put them in half way down the front just below the first two.

[YM03]

are the box's open all the way round ie do they run behind the amp?

[P23UNK]

yeah, the box goes all the way behind the amp and it sits flush with the back of the seat to get the largest volume possible, there is a wall in the box too to separate the subs

[YM03]

right with you now, just first glance they look small, but you might run into probs if you havn't tuned the ports to the right hz

[P23UNK]

what do you mean by that? the right hz?

[liamk15]

looks quite good,but why the feck did it take you 6months ?

[YM03]

the ports have to be made to a certain length to get the right freqauncy, just puttin holes in the box will cause probs ie sum music you play will sound really nice then play summit else and it will sound crap, there is a fair bit of maths goes into gettin the ports right

[P23UNK]

Ba*tard! i don't have ports, just holes! Hahahaha, shi*e! oh well, i'll make some! hahahaha, it took me 6 months cause i'm a lazy feck, a 5 mins here n there, finally done, will prob take a while now to get it carpeted! lol, and sudgestions about the ports connor?

[YM03]

to get it right you need to know the volume of box the sub needs when ported

[P23UNK]

oh fuck knows mate! lol, i just built it to fit snug in ma boot, i'm what some people call an amature?!

[YM03]

like I say it's not a bad job but you'll not be getting the best from it lol

if you want a box building program let me know

[Chris_T]

[P23UNK]

[YM03]
