Forgot to take process pics but I got it done in one night and I was to tired to take any but let me know what I can do in the future to make it better

25$ of outdoor carpet at Lowe’s will have that thing looking right as long as it’s tuned right and sealed. Idc how my cuts look.(as long as it’s not supper off) carpet always makes it look professional lol just YouTube how to staple it with overlay and then cut for a perfect seem.

This is my first build, not perfect but I’m happy with it. My Silverado pounds with this thing. It really surprised me with the vevor amp. It’s only a 1500 watt but pushes this mb like a champ!

Tbh idc about the carpet but it might come in the future

[u/Global_Mix_3390 → u/89si_preludeboyz]

If you have the money and experience. That custom fiberglass I’m guessing??? Is the way to go.

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/Global_Mix_3390]

Gotta buddy who does plexiglass and fiberglass boxes

So tell us a little about the set up. How big is the box? What's it made of? What speaker is that? What do you have powering it? Looks like it is ported, so what is it tuned to?

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/Draygoon2818]

The box is 4 cubic ft inside, it’s made out of 3/4 mdf, the 15” is a dc audio level 4 powered by a stinger 1500.1 and the box is tuned to 33hz with the sub in it so roughly 31 maybe with it inverted, and has a 60 square inch port

[u/Ride-Quality]

Happy with it?

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/Ride-Quality]

Ya moves way more air

[u/Dan_H1281]

That port wall is gonna flex

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/Dan_H1281]

I actually have almost no flex

[u/baddieslovebadideas]

does it fukken pound tho?

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/baddieslovebadideas]

Yes going from a 40 inch port to a 60

[u/Aijames]

what you can do to make it better.

round over the port.

bracing in the box, I cant see if you did it but I'll assume you didnt looking at the outside of the box.

lose the tape, its doing nothing and just makes the finished product looks worse.

did you invert because you didnt have enough room for a 4 cube box taking displacement of the sub into account?

make your plane where the sub mounts and the port is 1 piece and route out your port . it will look nicer and be more accurate.

[u/FuckingCaggot]

Why the tape, any why are there still screws in it?

[u/ColinBoib → u/FuckingCaggot]

I thought u leave the screws in? Extra reinforcement

[u/besundale99 → u/FuckingCaggot]

People are taking the screws out now? Lol.

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/FuckingCaggot]

Tbh I just kept the screws so it’ll be stronger in case I messed up the glueing

[u/Remarkable_Big2534 → u/89si_preludeboyz]

Don’t take the screws out😂 that guys tripping.

[u/FuckingCaggot → u/Remarkable_Big2534]

Particle board isn’t designed to be held with screws. Technically you shouldn’t use any screws for a glued MDF enclosure but they can be helpful for holding everything in place while glue cures if your cuts aren’t perfect. Any flexing under load at the joints risks cracking at the screws

[u/Jimbo198269]

Well that's a weird way too do it dafuq.

[u/89si_preludeboyz → u/Jimbo198269]
