true...

I suppose glassing would be a lot less time-consuming than cutting all those circles...

with using a real tire, I guess you could, but if you wanted to use two drives, as Tim did, you'd be SOL, since only one hole in a tire, no?


anyhoo boys, thanks for the tips

That box in Tim truck was solid. Wood is good.

Take the time to do it with the wood, Just my thought but fiberglass never turns out better.

The 2 rings/fleece was my first thought to do as we are in the age of glassing everything, why go old school and use all MDF.......so I made a small 6" one to see and found that it sagged way to much between the rings, as in sagged inwards, not downwards. Based on this it would take a lot of sanding and body filler to make this look good. So I decided to make a jig for my router to cut 30" diameter rings that were 2" thick. Once I made the jig it only took me about 2 hours to cut 12 rings, a back, a front ring that would flush the baffle and several baffles. I had the whole thing assembled and carpeted in about 5 hours. I made several baffles cause at the time I didn't know what speakers I was going to use. I made them for 2 12", 2 10", 2 10", and 1 15".

Glassing would have taken days to do and would still not be strong as the MDF.

That's a wicked install. I love the EQ. I wish there was a few more pics of the sub enclosure.
