my first box was kinda funy, all different thicknesses, and colours, and leaked like a **** till we siliconed it

oh ok lol. i thought it was a picture of a box you found on the internet and thought it was nice....my first box was sealed decently i think, it was just a little 1cube sealed, but the carpeting job was the sketchiest thing ive ever seen. i had absolutely no idea how to carpet boxes(im still not that good at it) and it was this thick, regular house carpet that didnt bend around the corners, and it was stapled on!

Here is my second box a few days ago, the hole has been routed out and ive made sure its all sealed inside since then. Just waiting for carpet now. I dont think theres much wrong with it. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
A sheet of MDF+glue+screws+silicone = about 50-60 bucks. You just have to take your time. If you rush you're just going to make a mess. My first box was for my friend, a slanted box for 2 12s 1.5cf per chamber. It turned out pretty well, although he didnt carpet it, he just painted it black. Its currently still in service. Soon to be ported for an almost free upgrade. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Hells ya man, almost like my driving. im think im starting to see a trend here. first the schools dont teach me how to spell, then they don't give me good toolls to work wit, and then they don't teach me how to drive very safely. school is a waist of time, only go because i have shop class. i could be done and have a spare right now, but im to lazy to do the work. just want to sit around and talk wit me homies at the table, and fool around, and dont for get drunk atleast 4 times a week.
