2 Sundown X 12's box build

[Miles 128]

Another box build for a previous customer. Upgrading from 2 Kicker CVR 15's to 2 Sundown X 12's (he really loves the lows, and that was the goal). Will be going in a Corolla trunk.

 

 

5.6 cubes net

6.5" Octaport

32 hz

"X" style bracing...

 

Will be adding "speaker rings" to the front of the box tomorrow as some added baffle bracing, for looks, and so the customer can use longer screws to hold these puppies in.

You do very nice work

[Miles 128]

Thank you! Just wait for the next box build I have lined up...

[Stephen93s10 40]

Nice! Will you be painting the enclosure?if so what color

[Sencheezy 689]

insane how you get those octoports to look so "factory" looking. Like the transitions from port to front wall is just amazing!

[Miles 128]

I'll be bedling this box.

 

 

It's funny you ask. I actually don't even use fasteners to secure Octaports to the front of boxes. Before the fronts are mounted, I take the Octaport, put glue on one end, put it where I want on the front piece, then place a 45 lb. weight on top of the port. Then just let pressure do it's job and create a tight bond.

Great man

Would you be interested in making Me some jigs so I can make my own? I'd pay lol maybe like a pair of 6" and 10" sets

[Miles 128]

You don't need a jig to build an Octaport. 

 

Since quite a few people have asked me on this site and others, I'll go ahead and make another thread and do a write-up on how to design and build Octaports. Sound good?

Not a fan of the brace. Right behind the port.

Im guessing its tied into the Sundown "X" theme...so you see an x when looking through the port?

[Miles 128]

Brace is ample distance away from the port as to not cause interference.

Once again man-  great job.  I need to just load up and head to OK for a couple days.
