We painted the front panel after sanding the MDF to a 2000 grit and we placed the logo on top of the box.

nice work. one question? is that a piece of wood in the speaker whole in the third to the last pic? like a piece that separates the two ports?

no vids yet. I personally built that box, lotta work but it was worth it. as far as the sound goes, it sounded really loud. a good amount louder than the sd 2.5 15". We metered it, didn't test on alot of songs, it did 137.5 on the dbm-2 from splmeter.com. I am sure it will get louder, after tuning it higher. Ive had other subs hit that loud on the same meter but nothing sounded comparible.

To give you an idea of this subs power (for those who dont know) i pulled up into football practice and parked next to the field house with the sub BUMPING and My coach yelled at me because the power rattled the building and knocked the Football Films off the shelf...So yeah the BTL is CRAZY loud! i freakin LOVE IT!

We went out to test earlier, we did get a higher score, but time was short and the cd player was skipping. were devoting all of tomarrow to getting louder:)

Nice job on the box, the port design sets it off.

well thanks.

and it's a dbm-2 meter from spl meter.com. Ive heard it is 4 db off of a tl and iv'e also heard it was .3 db off, i guess some are calibrated better.

Hey man I love that box and nice sub too btw. I wanna how much you would charge for a box like that same size except tuned to 32-33hz and the face painted blk instead of red? It would be for a 15in Q
