12" GCON powered by a Stetsom Venom 1000.1

It will get a carbon fiber dust cap from Duran.

Box cut and partially assembled:

Did you peel the sticker off the dust cap?

Looking good so far.

Nice start, tuned in.

Yes, Duran does not have a 12" GCON cap mold yet. So I peeled off the sticker and sent it to him.

Cool so the new cap will have the logo on it?

Yessir. The design will be slightly different but will still say SSA GCON.

This is for someone else. I like to do some enclosure building for people local to me from time to time. This is my first install for a GCON. Excited to see the end result.

Nice!

How come the 2 little braces and not a full 45* in the corner?

[Sencheezy 689]

@dbsupra, I would guess that the two pieces are placed at the weakest points. Which should be sufficient.

^^^ basically. I do not add 45s to an enclosure design unless they are asked for. The gain from 45s is minimal and this being a "daily" system it will not be noticeable.

[S.DeYoung 968]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

[S.DeYoung 968]

Baffle on. Next, port will be rounded and the box will be carpeted.

I can appreciate that. Just for me, minimal gain or not, it's just easier to do 2 rips with the saw to make a 45. Thought maybe there was a more specific reason.

What size round over for the port? Or are you doing by hand?

I am going to use a 3/4" roundover bit with the router.
