Great first part. On to part 2!
I had this exact idea and am so glad to see someone put the time into making a video....really really well done!
Thank you very much
Looking good so far. I've done a little work with fiberglass, and I can say it is not as easy as some make it look. Looking forward to the next segment.
This is nice… and I really want to take this project on!… or, you could just sell
Them and then I don’t have to 😂
Lol. Thank you. I'm still working on finding a way to 3D scan the boxes, then create drawings. My goal would be to create speaker box sets out of wood; IKEA style (sort of speak).
@@mcgurrentertainment yeah that would be cool probably tons would buy I would love the extra oomph a second sub would offer I love my B&O System
Thank you
Follow up comment after watching the whole (awesome) series. Since you’re the expert now, 😆 do you think a 12 would fit on driver side? Already have the shaker sub in passenger side, and kinda want to keep it and add one too. Maybe a kicker 12rt? Mounting depth of only 3-3/4”, overall diameter is 12-9/16”.
I'm sure it is possible. There is a vendor in Australia who makes a 12in box (www.ebay.com/itm/153164822725). The trick might be to tilt the subwoofer upward (look at the photos in the link).
Do you think i could do this for a twelve inch and make it bigger. Im wondering about it cracking. I was gonna use two 12 evls 2500 watts each
Great question. Yes, I think you could fit 12 inch subwoofer. However, they may need to be tilted upward.
@mcgurrentertainment you don't think based on how hard it moves air it won't Crack the housing ?
You can always add an extra layer of fiberglass.
thanks for the great videos bro. you have explained alot of things to me that i didn't understand. and you didn't have an anoyying voice like most youtubers fake for clout. stay real, and stay fast brother. godspeed
Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate that.
