I'd probably show up if it was a saturday show. sunday I can't imagine wanting to drive all the way there and back lol. if you do talk him into it I suggest you try to make it a multipoint show to try and bring more people out. still I wish I knew there was a shop in town, would have made my time a little more enjoyable

Heeeeyuk Heeeeeyuk, It's not that bad ..

We don't hate on skin color up here Yuli, well. maybe the pastey white eastern block guys....lol j/k

Hey, we do have a hotdog stand, I could get you that hotdog with onions

The shop just open in the spring I think Fresh, not just stereo, sells remote control vehicles and models etc. Good guy, has an installer with some skill. Sells Memphis and Streetwires mainly for car audio.
I'll mention a show sometime to him, maybe he'd do one, he thought Meaford was a good spot for the shop I guess..lol

I'm a fan of overkill when I can afford it, sure killed it I'm gonna have to fill all those before I wrap it in vinyl.

I can also sooo see the advantage to rabbit joints, more glue and brad nails. Oh yeah, patience too.
Even had a dado blade set...doh

Least it will never fall apart..

Well the ports came in and I managed to cut a few pieces of MDF before the wet snow/rain came

We've chosen subs forward/ports up as our basic configuration for the van. The raised MDF baffle is for a little more strength and a little more port length overall, I may still add another.

The next level of where to put the ports? I'm not sure, I have not added any 45's or sonotube curves yet, but I plan to, just where???

So check out the pics, where would you put the ports given these 3 choices?

1 - ports equally spaced at the rear of the box
2- lined together at the rear of box
3- spaced between the magnets at the front of the box

I'd actually prefer number 3 if it doesn't cause problems

Again, I don't mind adding 45s or other airflow related things.

Ideas?

4th pic is some of the bracing recommended . Thanks DS

The ports will be inside the box , I just haven't cut the holes yet, just in case anyone was wondering WTF.
