So its 11:30PM you don't have any speakers to test an amp. There is no wood to make an enclosure and you need to test the amp. What to do............

First you need a set of .99 Orion speakers from the bay

Second you need the box the speakers came in with hardware/wire

Third item a roll of Duct Tape















































Make sure the chambers are sealed from one another








Last thing to do is reinforce the corners

amatuer I woulda ported it lol!

Ill try that on the next one. i think I have some 1/2 tubing here

y?

desperate times call for desperate measures, hey? hahaha

love your work!

fyi for next time, KFC buckets work well for this and you can adjust the volume by cutting the top lip off of the bucket and then use some extra tape to hold/seal it.

I saw a pic of this that a customer did, and then took the car to the shop. funny shit.

A set of co500 coaxial's $30

A zx950 $500

A roll of ducktape $3

Making a speaker box out of cardboard, priceless...





(it needs some paint )

Nice

i,ve actuall seen a pair of KFC buckets used in the trunk of a car for sub boxes

i see what made u so creative

I once saw pics of a guy that found old tree trunk that was rotted out in the middle and hollow. So he slapped a board on one side, and the sub happened to fit on the other. The enclosure was the equivilant of a natural bazooka......

Why does the power terminal on the ZX950 look bent?

eric d you have like jedi warrior powers. sharp eye sir

you can pair that with Tom's ported JL!

That has got to be the best thing ive seen in a while.

That might be ZX950 #1 that was a lil less than mint from what he had said

It's all cardboard, use a toilet paper roll.

Can't say I've been that hard up to test speakers, but I've been close.

Here is the finishing touch. A full range Class-D Proto PG Amp

I have to have music to listen to when I work on things

I'll have to use that on the sub box

If you need a longer port then the 3 1/2" of the TP roll, you can always move up to a paper towel roll.

gift paper roll! bam!
