Kryptonitewhite's PICS and VIDS build log Fi IB3 18" and 22&q

[kryptonitewhite 1]

We shopped for a Buick Rendezvous or Pontiac Aztac so we could get >18 cubes and still have room for kids, grocieries and such and avoid getting a minivan. Explorers, Blasers, Bravadas, and the like we'ren't nearly enough.

Basically we are walling the hatchback. >20 cubes, 8" port. This is temporary until a 21" or 22" driver of similar specs is finished. ( >30mm Xmax, <20Hz Fs)

I originally designed it to have the sub on top and port on bottom, but once the 22" is in, side by side works better.

Lookin good

Wow that pics is weird, gives the illusion that those speakers in the background are very tiny

[kryptonitewhite 1]

Lookin good

thanks, I hope it looks good finished... plain black 22", 8" port, black wall... in cognito on the down low, yet WTF! at the same time

these might be redundant from an earlier thread, but they go here now:

a little aqward

free air 16Hz or 20Hz

bass i love you free air aprox 4.5 - 18 watts according to DMM... demo just to show 7Hz signal is lowest, not 18Hz in that track

DMM showing 5.7 volts during 7Hz tone, 6x6=36 watts/2 ohm= 18 watts

no more than 12 watts DMM

compared to that 18", they are

can't wate to see how the 22" dwarfs things...

these ones??

as you can see, I had a very rough time with it... was my first build with angles like that that couldn't be measured twice and cut once... it was measure, cut, test fit, trim, test fit, trim again... re-angle, adjust, angle up a little higher, cut again..... I learned a lot from it, still have it, breaks my heart to waste it

I'm puttn the extremis in the doors, but I'll sell the Audio Control 6XS!

it's the only excuse I have for it looking so bad, and it really was tough.... I was making my 1st and only attempt to point and aim, do some staging and imaging.... man was it a mess. But thanks

As of yet, every box I have built was constructed out of car. This one is going to be along these lines, and I am struggling with caulk/glue and screw. I am OCD and anal when it comes to this.... so I am hoping for a bunch of links with different pics like these showing how best to put front/back/top/sides together securely. I'm hoping I don't just glue/caulk the hell out of it and set them together.... I am used to flush ands butted up together and putting 2 1/2" screws in.... but when it's the entire height/width/depth, you can't get in there to drill.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

found these pics on the net, not mine:

I'm not so sure about driving screws strait into the sheetmetal, nor will I use any 2x6 or 2x4... but here's something a bit off course

so I couldn't wait anymore, I decided to use the wood I have to build a quick box to get us through so we could take our time and do the final box as good as we can. so we re-took some measurements so we could build as big as we could outside and slide it in. I didn't calculate anything, just got the max dimensions and made the port go all the way back less 1 port diameter.... I just did it and what a trip, it's right where we were aiming for anyway... we might just keep this box as is unless we do get a 22".... I put the port close to the sub to get more wall clearance, making this box obsolete for a 22"...cuz it is ... was... just a temp sloppy box to get by... well check this, I was aiming for >20 cubes and 15Hz tuning.... and now that I sat down, we have 22 cubes @ 15Hz with a 20" port length. What are the freakin odds?!

I'm keepin it as is. Now the big debate may as well start now, so after I post these pics here ( camera died, I have to go out and take more pics now that we're home... box basically complete in-car....)

After this post I'll post my plans I made 2 weeks ago... showing we are on target as is :D

taking out factory

considering leaving factory in and putting CD deck in center console

looks good

the driver side power window has been intermitten... switch is going bad... decided to pull the door apart too to replace switch and see what we're working with to put 2 Extremis 6.4's in each door... fiberglass/bondo

thank god ya can't see my measurements, cuts, or close ups of the final outcome... I was in a hurry to get something in by the end of the day

freezing rain and windy all day

front... close to wall/baffle size to get an idea of what the wall will be like

blurry... shows how close we are, taking up just about everything we can

bottom too

my sausages stickin out... i liked sitting inside the box when it was complete too
