very interesting...

well. i decided to go with putting the sub cutout on top instead of on the slant. got the 1 inch dowels in today as well. still need to add a couple more this weekend. i also got the last side piece cut. im really liking how the box is turning out!! i have a question though. would it be ok to use a different type of wood for the double baffle? i used just about every inch of the MDF board i bought and it would be a pain to get more just for an 18 x 18 piece of wood. thanks for looking!!

what would you guys recommend? on the slant? or on top? only reason i would put in on the slant is due to people wouldnt be able to see it by looking in the window. what would you guys do? im kind of second guessing myself thanks!!

its looking great man!!

congrats! cant wait to see the final product

thank you!! im starting to think of having the sub face up instead of on the slant..... hmmmm... i dont know

Getting closer!

congrats man! good luck with the install!

in my previous posts i said i needed longer port length, but i just realized right now as i put my numbers in. i made the box bigger because i felt like using more room. lol. so instead of my ports being 21-24" in length they can be 14-16" in length. which is nice. haha

i have to remember though its slanted. so thats what i have to figure out

i do not have that piece cut yet, but it looks to be about 27 1/2 length and 19 1/2 width

well i was going to have the sub facing forward and the ports above... so all facing forward where you see the wood slant. but it kinda looks like it wont fit. so i shall see once it all gets put together... maybe im wrong. but will that work? with the sub facing towards the front of the truck and areoports facing the back of the truck? i dont see that working? i have the space. just not sure if the air flow will just go out of wack

thanks stefan!! yes you are correct with it being 0.21 the box is 5.4 cuft total. the sub is .21 so that takes me to about 5.1 i believe. im starting to worry my (3) 4" areoports wont fit above the sub. is it possible to have the sub in front and ports in the back??

EDIT was due to i realized the enclosure is bigger then i thought. lol. thanks sefugi! cant wait for all of it to get together. im worried ill want a btl after this and just end up using my whole back section of my quad cab truck sooner or later. hahah

Ok. so i finally got time where it hasn't been raining around my area so i began on the sub box for the bl 15" i didnt take as many pics as i would have liked haha. so i will take some more on the rest of the build tomorrow and etc... so far i have a little more then half the box structure built. still need to add the dowels, (3) 4" aeroport holes and along as the sub box hole. wish it wasnt sprinkling so i could have got more done... lol. i kind of rushed the box inside the garage in so it didnt get wet. i have a bunch of weights on top of the box with plenty of pressure pushing down. getting very excited!! with the sub its at 5.1cuft right now still confused how i will figure out the cu ft that the dowels and aeroports will take up.

Hope you're happy with it! Be sure to let me know! will do!

i say go for that bl 15! i just ordered one myself and cant wait! watts09 was my inspiration on that one. haha

doesn't hurt to ask a local shop what they would charge? if you do go that route check in with multiple shops on a price. if i were you though i would just build my own.

Agreed

just wait until you get the sub. install and just play with the settings and from what everyone told you. i know what you mean with the subs not being that loud without the bass boost on. it was like that with my starter system with 2 10" D1 diamonds. when i ordered my fi bl 10" bass boost wasnt needed so i didnt bother. i just ordered a fi bl 15" myself today. good luck with the install!

im in need of a 3- 4" aeroports at parts express. their kits only go up to a 17" port tube. what should i do when i need atleast 21-24" of port length? i went to my local home depot and compared the pvc pipe with a 3" areoport i had laying around and they do not match up. so do i need to order "special" tubing for my application? thanks!

sorry, misread that. I was thinking you meant 3"-4". Now I see you are using (3) 4" no worries. thanks for the quick response though! do they really? i tried home depot and all their pvc was very different then the pipe psp uses. ill try checking out a lowes near me tomorrow.

That was my first thought as well. probably why this question got answered so quick. haha

oh wow. sorry i missed ya klee7013 thats a good idea! madisound seems to be a lot cheaper. parts express site doesnt have parts listed like that! Thanks!!

hahaha. no not in diameter. i am using 3- 4" areoports for the 15" yes i just so happen to have a 3" areoport kit laying around and i used it for an EXAMPLE at home depot to see what the size comparison would be and nothing fit a 3" flare. so as sefugi said.... basically im connecting the tubes together? like legos you can say? haha and dbsupra... im using 4" tube not 3" i see now a 4" x 15.75" size tube for sale at 15 bucks?... jeez... why so expensive?
