2-10" 2.5 cubes @ 36hz for Stacey (Mikescartoys)

Enclosure for Stacey's ZX3.

2.5 cubes @ 36hz for 2 - 10" JBL 1022's he bought off Ben (zeptoplix) through our forum. There has been some good deals available on here. Thanks to everyone.



I like this design, and think it will be quite effective.

Build starts tomorrow.

Got all the materials today. Went to home depot, and the guy (Trevor) in charge of cutting the wood was a good guy. Really went out of his way to ensure the cuts were perfect. This box is going to come together nicely. I just need to cut the 45's on my table saw.

The fun begins.

Big thanks to Paul for this. I have no time for this n maybe I have found A builder for the shop.

Just about done, just need to cut holes for the subs and make/install the 45's. NP Stacey, glad I could help.







Flash made the paint look a lot lighter than it really is.

A tip if I may. Rubberized undercoating for port painting work the best and covers amazingly.

You said you just wanted it black man... I would have used whatever you wanted if you said so earlier... It is darker than it appears in the pic. I bit the cost of paint seeing as it was requested afterward. Plus the rubberized undercoating is a huge velocity drag when used in a port. Its not bad for an outside finish. It could have used another layer to make it brighter as it did suck it up a bit, but after 3 layers I used the whole can of paint. lol

Not bitching just saying. Btw done yet. Hahaha

Need to invest in a 3/4" round over bit.

Just need to cut the holes and install the 45's. I can't find my router circle jig anywhere... I'll drop it by tomorrow.

What you talkin about willis? I rounded all edges with 3/8 round over. The biggest I have is 1/2 round over bit. With 3/4" MFD the 3/8 bit works perfectly. 1/2" is for 1" MDF but if you would like I can go over yours with the 1/2"? Not a prob, lmk what you want...

I'm facing with you man. Looks great. Thanks again.

ive noticed when painting a box it works alot better when you roll the paint on. goes on a bit thicker to and it doesent soak in nearly as much. and i agree 1/2 round over is the biggest i would go.

Np, see ya tomorrow.

True & I have a paint gun (best finish), but seeing as he only requested the port be painted black and Jordan has my gun, I just bought a can of paint. If it were a completely finished, painted box, I would have bought the good stuff. He was trying to build this as cheap as possible... it's nothing more than a raw box, with painted port. As requested. The paint isn't what makes it sound good anyway....

I used a roller on one of my old enclosures and it turned out rather well. Home Depot even color matched my interior perfectly.

Unfortunately I couldn't find my router circle jig anywhere, but its ready for delivery.

LOOKS sick man!
