Smile My first sealed enclosure! pics

90% finished box, Need carpets before the construction I thought to make a ported, but after using WinISD, those sub are recommanded with sealed box. It's a 5.25 cuft, the manual suggests to use 2.0-2.5cuft sealed for one.
My question is what gives when a bigger sealed box than recommanded size? What gives if I let the middle plate open, u know like manufacture twin enclosure the middle board is sealed between the 2 box. Thanks

is that 1/2" MDF? you might want to screw the front section to the divider you got there, to reduce the flexing...
Looks good otherwise

Doesn't look to bad. How does it sound? I just built my first sealed box for my car the other weekend (8 years in audio... first one heh) and it sounded like crap. Never again will I build another.

I have been in car audio for lol only 2 weeks and I built mine. It sound pretty punchy, sometimes makes me hard to breath in the car, because I put the box on my back seat. I thought it would fit into the trunk but after all the frigigin work, it wont rofl//

box building aside. that is about the dumbest thing you could do... you get into an accident, or have to slam on the brakes, and that box is going to go through the seats, through YOU, and through the windshield.. if it doesn't fit in the trunk make a new one, make it fit, or take it out of the car...

Let's not be stupid and get yourself killed, or a passenger...

that's not going to do anything. but it's your life; what's it worth to you? 20 bucks for another sheet of MDF and a few hours, or save the money and kill yourself, or someone else?

A Briefcase sitting on the back seat will break the front seat in a collision, so what do you think a sub box will do?

What happens when a collision if the box is well placed inside the trunk?
