My sub box design comments welcome

CrazyKenKid · 08-12-2008, 07:33 PM

hey guys i just took a peak at my truck and took some pics and used a card board box and made a dummy sub box to find out my sizes i can fit and what not!

anyways here we go take a look at the pics and let me know what everyone thinks!

you should be able to make everything out in those pics! as you can see i have my kinetik hc2400 wired and i welded and painted a steal angle iron base for it with a bungy cord to hold it down and soem screws under it also.

you can also see my orion 400.2 which i wil be switchign with a sundown 100.4 once i get it ordered that will help power my new component speakers and my current 6x9(if i need them)

thanks for looking and give me some feedback on this or if you have a better idea! thanks

o btw max height is 15inch and max behind the wheel well is 14.

so i was looking at how much mdf i will be needing and it turns out i will need 12piece total and here are the sizes i think i will need, but it seems a little screwy ( i am using 3/4 mdf)

13.5x12.5 (front & back)
13.5x11.75 (left & right)
11.75 x 14 (top & bottem)

and my internal deminsions will be 12.5x13.5x10.25 = 1cubic of space

does that seem right to everyone? then i will need to buy 2lb of poly fill! correct? and i will also need a tube of cocking. i think i got it all let me know if i missed something or i screwed something up with my size's

thanks
Ken

hey guys! i am all done cutting out the sub cut out and what not! i used a CNC bridgeport to do it lol! It only took a grnad total of 3-4mins to do it lol and 5mins for set up and clean up lol! fun times! take a look at the pics! lol

and yes i had to write the program lol it was quite easy to do! it is a conversational controller! so it is easy you tell it what it wants to know lol!! ll

the only think i don't like is how the sub will be hanging out of the box a little! i wish i had more truck space lol!

program is easy to write all you need to know is speeds and feeds! lol!

I always caulk the inside edges

Looks pretty good, hard to tell in the pics, just some covering or painting and should be good to go.

Would love to have access to a CNC machine, oh the possibilities.

CrazyKenKid · 08-25-2008, 10:50 PM

you are telling me! you cna do nearly anything on one of those machines! since all 3 axis are computer controlled! x,y,z as easy as 1,2,3 lol!

Shit, could you have used a larger end mill? I miss my bridgeport, but then I had no idea how to program it, so it was all done by hand.

CrazyKenKid · 08-26-2008, 08:30 PM

lol ya that that is a 1inch fly cutter! lol that things is fast! 150 inch / minute and 2500 rpm lol. it works quite well. and yes i could have used a smaller end mill but but that i would have to worry about heat since i was going though 1.5inch and normaly end mills are only 1inch long! so i just use what i have and it works good! plus it looks kewl!
