OK, here are some work-in-progress shots of the subwoofer box. Some quick specs:
- 2 cubic feet per side
- 14.5"x2"x16.5" port
- MTX TS5512-22 (12" square 600Watts RMS, they will be getting 493 watts RMS each via an MTX TS8001 class D monoblock - I'll post a scan of the spec sheet showing the tested RMS output)
- Box is made from 3/4" hi-density particle board (about 75 pounds per 4X8 sheet).
- Non dadoed joints use multiple #20 biscuits. Combination of wood glue, PL-400, #8 2" screws, #20 biscuits and staples hold the beast together).
Custom box, 2 cubic feet per side, with a 14"x2"x16.75X port.
Back, bottom, and side. Dados partially cut.
Big front baffle board. All gaps will be filled with bondo before stretching the carpet.
Right side of box (box will get yellow glass insulation on all panels). Port not installed.
Side panels and inner baffle, no dados for the ports yet.
Side view.
Dados in the side panels and inner baffle.
Dados to hold and help seal the big rectangular ports. Side benefit will be box reinforcement.
Side view.
Slots for the three #20 biscuits that will hold the L-shaped rectangular port together.
Inner shot of L-port.
L-port clamped for a long drying cycle.
All the pieces for the box, just begging to be assembled.
Here's two shots of the big bastards.
That's all for now. Next post will show how I got to fully assembled box.
