It's been sorta dead in here as of late...so I figured I'll make this thread to show my progress and what not...plus it'll give all of you damn post ****** a thread to ***** in.

Anyhow...I was itchin to go ported for some time now, and I think I'll follow through this time. I'm going to make a 2.5 cu ft tune to @ 30 hz using two 4" aero ports. Yeah the box may seem a bit small for a ported 15, but I contacted Mike at SS for his insight, and he says 2.5 is the minimum I can work with. Well...some tear down pics:

Heres what it looks like before:




And now...after today...


Front baffled removed, and amps taken off their mounts.


Box layed down so I can get the sub out. It made taking out the box much easer without 32 additional pounds bolted to it...

 

The mess after I untied everything...only the lonely 2100-XXK still connected. Look at all that space! (Don't worry, everything will be neat and clean during the install.)


Old box. In case you're wondering, the inside is shiny because there's a layer or two of resin.




The dynamic duo. Don't they look nice together...

More pics to come...

 

Nice Can't wait for updates.

 

man - it looked nice before. looking forward to the outcome...

 

thats really slick ascendant. makes me want to redo my fiberglass enclosure.

 

In, for progress and for the PWing - I see Parag has already gotten started.

 

I think Parag ****** the most

Haven't decided if I'm going for that showy look anymore. Might be just all function...with a tiny bit of form.

 

What's the harm in having a fascia plate?

 

blocks too much pressure from getting into the cabin.

 

Bah.

: poop :

 

postwhore...

how you feeling?

 

Nah parag left.


Much better thank you.

 

Do you have pictures from the side?

Looks good

 

that's good. them blasted strep throats ain't no fun.

 

of the box?

 

Nice Setup always wanted the rlp
good luck

 

2.5cubes is not worth the time...but then again your SN is ascendantmax...and you own ZERO products form them.

 

2.5 isn't that bad...i would go bigger but that'll mean losing even more space.

and i'm lazy to change my SN...

 

It's been a little slow for worklogs around here. I'll be anxious to see your new install.

 

Subscribing as well ......

 

in.





10whores

 

Especially with the super size uvula, now THAT was not fun.

 

I call dibs on the old sealed box...ship that ****!

 

This box should turn out sick, you've got a good plan

 

u did a nice job before.... cant wait to see the new look at one of the meets

 

Got the box built today. Pretty straight forward and simple build, since I'll be using Aeroports. It's basically a large sealed box at the moment. When I get the Aeroports, I'll cut out the holes and mount them. But for now...more pics...


Using 3/4" birch this time instead of MDF. The stuff is much lighter, but more expensive and splinters. But it's worth it. My table saw is acting goofy, so I just used a cordless.


Used a piece of wood as a guide to get straight cuts...


...and it works rather well. Just make sure the guide is even and you're set.


Pieces all cut and ready for assembly.


First two panels. The box is held together with Elmer's carpenter glue...and some screws.

 

It's coming together nicely...




Sub hole still needs to be cut out.



Done! Now I just gotta wait until my ports arrive from Parts Express. Now I'm debating if I should carpet or stain it.

 

Ugh screws ... Gordon you love to disappoint me...

 

Nice circular though...whole set or just that?

 

i don't have any clamps

what ya mean by whole set?

 

with the drill,grinder,recip,impact,etc..

 

the one I have...

oh, yeah i got the whole set. pretty nice gift to myself a few xmas ago.

 

i need to get a new blade for it though...that thing wasn't really making clean cuts as it use to.

 

Hmm another birch user...what a great idea.

 

yeah, but difference is i made this one myself.

 

looking good so far. why aero ports vs slot port?

Ill be using birch on my next box, its pretty cheap in my area for some reason..

 

I helped make mine...but mostly watched and got resin on my hands.
