one thing i never see....somthing i do to my boxes....knowing that mdf breathes....cnc routers suck air thru mdf to hold down the wood being worked on.... coat the inside with resin....seals all gaps and seals the mdf.....air tight.
@dylanmeurs they say you could just fill it with water.
another way could be to get a big 5 gallon bucket and get a trashbag and put the trash bag in the fiberglass box and fill it with water from the bucket. at the end find out how much water you used from the bucket and there.
Hey man. Don't mean to waste your time if you already answered someone else with this question, but, did you not go in from the inside and reinforce that fleece with more fiberglass? I might not have caught that step. Thanks
@0S7VN0 The most common fabric used is fleece or cotton, like t-shirt fabric. Can get a cheap roll at sewing supply stores or even wal-mart. The liquid applied over the stretched fabric is resin, can be found at any autobody supply store or hardware store. The putty is fiberglass bondo, Sanding after each application of any putty filler or bondo for smoother surface. Evercoat is a brand name, any body filler/putty will work. Lot of sanding. Then primer then wax and grease remover before painting
@MRklica if ur prep is right you can.. I like to use regular clearcoat if im using spray paint (which isnt often) it also depends on how cheap ur gonna go on the spray paint. If its the $1 walmart paint id say no.. But if ur using rustoleum or something like that laquer is great.. also depends on what ur gonna paint.. most interior pieces will make paint shrivel up because they have a coating you have to scuff up and clean b4 you apply paint.. I hope this helps sorry if it s too long lol
Someone please tell me how to calculate the volume for custom shaped sub enclosures! I've just been doing boxes as a hobby but now I have people asking me to do custom REALLY weird shaped boxes and trying to tell them which sub would work best in the box volume created. If that makes sense lol. Would be great if there was a device that could figure it out somehow =(
Probably not what you're after, as it wouldn't be the quickest way, but you could get a carbage or other flexible bag, fill it with the appropriate amount of foam beans (from bean bags) and then build the enclosure around that.. It's not the quickest way, but it'll ensure that the volume is at least the right size. Hope that helps mate, cheers :)
btw, this is probably a really stupid question, but with ported boxes, do you still need to put sound deadener stuff in there?
To figure volume in an existing enclosure you fill the enclosure with packing peanuts...now dump them into a square box which is easy to calculate. if you make weirs custom enclosure and it'd too big you can fill it with objects like wood or lightweight foam to take up space/
excellent video, too bad we couldnt hear the subs :(
do you have any tips for noobies? im considering fiberglassing a screen into my dash and was wondering which would be the best method(im planning on actually putting it in as in deep vs outer/above)
you can use either, some have their reasons for both, some say chopped because its easier to mold to complex boxes, some say cotton cloth since its stronger. usually you fiberglass to A. make it weigh less, and B. allow for good looks. I hope to one day make my own for my del sol.
you dont need to use screws on mdf.... you can use liquid nails for strength and use brad nails to basically hold it together while the liquid nails dry
nice box i would used a brad gun to those pieces of wood together i heard some were that useing screw has a high probability of weekinig the box because you could split the ends of the wood if you dont pre drill
whattt... u tellin me , you dont know the mother fuckin texas allstar , paul wall , yep paul wall , look up his swisha house mixtapes from 2000 and such. better than this mainstream shit.
Paul Wall is from South Carolina! I remember he started out as a lil geeky white boy. I dont know what happened to him, but It's nice to see what a success he has become.
SC ? umm for as long as i have known him, he has been in H town. and thas been a long fuckin while , i was born in cuero , and grew up in goliad , i dont say im from cuero , i say im from goliad. not where ur from , but where u at. i remember when , paul wall , and chamillionaire use to do all there cd's together. never apart. look up homer pimpson. swisha house baby.
Props for the box and the Video. Every time I watch it I learn something new. Is there a trick to getting the fabric tight and smooth. I am using fleece. BTW the way you made the rings and how I make them now with a router was an awesome time saver. You rock dude
Thanks for the props. The only trick to adding fleece is just streching it enough to remove sags and wrinkles as you hold it down with spray glue and staples as you stretch it.
The process can take about 6 hours if you're experienced. But if you're starting out you might want to take your time to make it perfect (about a week or two). I usually use two to three layers of 6oz mat. About the painting, check out videos on here on how to paint, but more than anything, you will only learn best by trying it. Try it first then let me know how it goes and I will try to advice you on what to correct.
