Pictures of my enclosure.

Here are a few pictures of my enclosure for my 3 Mag's...

(this is the first box I ever build myself)

I don't give a damn about looks or anything, so I just did the 1st layer of groundpaint (or whatever it's called in English). The final result will be black though.

Friggin' cold outside; 3 degrees Celsius. Which is no fun...

Man, that enclosure is braced really well! Jake would be proud of you (he's a bracing nazi). That paint looks thick too - I like it.

3 degrees C...what is that? 40 degrees F?

wow you went all out on that box eh! wowo nice job!

37 Degrees Fahrenheit... :S

Well I am proud of myself as well. First time I am building a box. So...

Well the white paint is the base paint (specially for MDF and before the final paint). I already painted it 3 times. Will do the last side (underneath) tomorrow. Then after that I will paint it completely black.

Braces worked out fine indeed.

On a different note; it fitted in my trunk, however I couldn't close the trunk anymore. The bars which lift my trunk were surrounded by plastic. So I removed those and increased my room by 2 cm or something. So I should be fine now, though I didn't check it yet.

Thanks for the compliments.

It does look sturdy and well braced! Good work

That looks solid for sure. Should sound great, specially when loaded up with some Mag's.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words here.

Okay I just did the rearside of the enclosure 3 times with the white paint. Will let it dry now and then paint the whole thing black.
