2 zcon 18's box questions in Chevy Avalanche

[bulldogfreddy 2]

Looking good, get some bracing in there and she will be stout.

Going brace with 2" dowels and still have to cut and place corner braces. Still debating on running a full port divider down middle or a partial. Made the box a little bigger than design. 50" X 20" X 38".

Looks good man! I think you'll be happy with the birch decision.

I probably would try to avoid putting a brace in the port as it'll increase turbulence in there. Maybe just double up the side walls of the port and round over the ends.

I was worry about the rear of the port. Because they will firing into each other except in the center at rear where I will add a deflection (triangle). Double up on port walls, that will be with birch ply. Lol. I used a total of three sheets of BB for the box already.

Got fine thread kreg screws instead of coarse thread. I have exchange them so I can finish the back, top, corner bracing and parallel dowels. I see that a lot people orders being shipped out and hope I am in at least the next batch.

Good work so far man! Hope you get the subs soon!

Don't know if I should put less angle on the triangle

[bulldogfreddy 2]

Do anybody think I should make the back port divider longer or will this be OK ^.

I would make it where the end of each side of the port is half the distance away from the "triangle as the port is wide. . If that's makes wines how I said it lol

Looks good!  whats the tuning?

[bulldogfreddy 2]

28~29 Hz

I worry about building up turbulence by making it that close and wondering about displacement I will lose also. Have to draw it out and take a hard look at it.

 One coat then the lacquer

How far is the end of the port to the rear wall? I usually do that but that's when the port goes along the back wall

[bulldogfreddy 2]

26" from the front baffle, so that is about 11.25" from the back wall. Now about 8" with the deflector in place.

[bulldogfreddy 2]

Will start on beauty plate and amp rack until subs ship.

Didn't like the turn out with the stain and went back to the original plan. Still have to bed lined the bottom.

[bulldogfreddy 2]

Going have to finish everything up since the subs will be here today or tomorrow. Can't wait to hear these subs.

Thanks bro. Finally got the box in after fighting with it. I went with stainless steel hurricane nuts (T - nuts). Will try working on beauty plate and reposition amps. Thinking about moving batteries inside center console.

[bulldogfreddy 2]

Painted the back side with bedliner and have to prime and paint the front later. Should I paint blue like the box or bedliner black?

Cool-  I have to figure mine out next hitch.

[bulldogfreddy 2]

First test today and I had to hold on. Not even half power and was crazy with windows up. With just front windows halfway down was stupid. Lol. Thanks SSA. Still working on trim plate color.
