Progress! Box is being built by Mauricio of High Output audio Garner, NC. He's one of the best around.




Using birch, and some MDF. MDF more in the amp rack area. Getting really excited to hear this thing!

Looks like it'll be a thumper.

looking good. There's still time for plexiglass windows and some LEDs in each subwoofer enclosure.

Gah...I know...right. I'm very tempted to ask Mauricio to make it a gucci, flashy, leather wrapped pristine box. But it just won't go with the rest of the theme of the car.

I wish I had this level of skill though. Some of the demo boxes and stuff he has are incredible.

It's weird sometimes. If I say what I did to get banned, I could get banned for "moderator or site bashing." In fact, I run the risk of being banned for even mentioning that I could get banned for explaining why I got banned. Ironically, there is no rule addressing "moderator or site bashing" on the rules page though. Rules So honestly, it just is what it is.

Now, nothing I just said is mod / site bashing or negative in any way...but if you don't hear back from me for a few days, that will be why.

Nice clean cuts/edges, surprised you didn't go with mitered corners (not that I have the right tools for that myself). Is that a decision made for access? Primed it looks super clean anyway, you can't see a seem anywhere.

The finishing was specifically chosen as it goes with the rest of the "theme" in the car.

Never. And it wouldn't be pink...it would be salmon. LOL Something like this right?

No vette logos. And no capes.

More progress. First primer coat sanded and the remaining blemishes or uneven spots corrected. One more coat of primer and she's ready for some color. I appreciate the patience y'all. These things take time...rest assured, I'm SOOO eager to get this thing in there and ripping. I did want to ask the community, are there any metrics or before and after measurements any of you are interested in me collecting? I of course will have some tuning overlays and before and after curves and what not. I was also going to measure dB output before and after. The "book" says I should have at least 6 dB more output than before. I have a feeling it will be much more than that. But what say you? What would you like to see or know?
