16 Sundown sa-12s Build

[Derrick824 4]

We're working on a new build for the Excursion. 16 Sundown Audio sa-12s powered by 4 saz-3500s.

Box sketch

Close up of ports. Three 8" custom flared ports.

Cutting the wood

Laminating. The entire box will be at least two layers thick. Three & four layers in certain places.

Starting the router work for the ports.

I call this pic Cock & Balls.

Lots more work to do. I barely got started on the port work. No where near done with that piece & I have two more identical pieces to build.

Stay tuned...

this should be crazy. nice work. What is going to be the donuts on the inside end of the ports?

[hispls 23]

Some folks say that a big port is just an extension of the penis. Nothing phalic about that whatsoever......

[Notorious97200 339]

I broke the Jasper Jig working on someone else's box Sunday so until the new one comes in I can't do much else to the ports. All the wood for the box itself is laminated and ready to be assembled.

Maan Im rather impressed with the port design, get this build going and cant wait to see finish design.

[Derrick824 4]

The ports are completely done & mounted and the box itself is assembled. I had pics but after an issue with my memory card they all got deleted. Won't be able to get back on this til Monday. Then all the sub holes will get cut, corner bracing will be added, and all thread bracing installed.

Should be interesting when completed !

[Derrick824 4]

Today's work.

Got all the sub holes cut.

Shot of the ports from inside the box.

Time to flush & flare the ports from the outside.

After the flush bit.

I flare it in stages. First a 3/4" bit then two passes with the 1.5". Pictured here the center is flared 1.5" & the two outside ports are flared 3/4".

[Derrick824 4]

All three ports flared with the 1.5" bit.

Test fitting the subs.

The rest of the subs. As soon as I pick up a roll of speaker wire they'll all get installed.

The only thing left is the corner bracing and threaded rod. I started installing the threaded rod tonight but didn't get finished. All that will get done tomorrow.

Said forget being like everyone else and buying all the pieces to make flare ports just did the process your self, two thumbs up .
