This is an odd one

Recommended Posts

I am building a box in my wheel well. In the wheel well there is a small bracket that is where the spare tire is secured down. If I were to place a pipe in the middle of my box, to be used as a pass through where a long screw would go through to secure the box down. I would silicone it of course, I just want to know if there is any sort of petential problem music wise. See the attached for an idea of what i am talking about.

No

SPL guys have really long bolts that they use for holding their enclosures totether.

Thet from end to end.

Yes to acid and I may even add an American lock to piss of thieves.

to supa, I was actually wondering about the 2 1/2" diameter pipe that would house it as I don't want to have to reseal it everytime I remove the box. But that is exactly the bar I want to thread into the bracket. Just did'nt know if the pipe might act like a bell or somehting funky and create problems.

no, it won't... just use PVC... it'll be easier to work with...

If I were you, to make things easier on yourself, I'd just have the pipe mount flush with the front and back of the box...

yep, just use PVC, if its airtight, it should be fine

i third the pvc, but would suggest two things. one is to use pipe just large enough to allow the bolt to pass thru. second is to suggest that u wrap the pipe with deadner to eliminate (or close to it) the chance of resonance.

but otherwise, it sounds like a good idea.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:
