Stereo Construction Pictures...

Hey everyone, construction on my woofer box has begun, and one more day of work should finish it up. I just wanted to drop off some pictures and see what yall think of it so far.

PICTURES!

In the pictures you can see the box with out the top on. The amp box will be plexy glassed in. I believe that it will look awesome!

Those boxes for the subs don't look like they are very big... how much cubic feet does each sub require? Looking good though.

Hmmm ok. You should do a plexi top like this, although I'm sure it'd be a lot of work.

Ported boxes require more volume than sealed boxes... not less.

That's what I thought, but I'm not well-versed on ported vs. sealed boxes, so I wasn't sure (and didn't want to look like an idiot posting wrong information, although I've probably done so before... ).

as far as port goes, i was wrong. My dad said that I was wrong anyways. It was going to be ported if he used the whole area, but he designed/ing it to be able to be pulled out simply, so it does not go all the way down as you can see.

I am stupid wehn it come to all the math and **** in audio...lol
