Cyclone box building begins tomorrow

Post by smgreen20 »

It's not going in an install or I'd put it in that section. I'm building it just for myself and to take to the local car audio store during comps.

I'll post pics. I'm using some left over particle board that should serve well for my intended use.

Until Home Depot came to town a few yrs ago, that's all I could get in an 8' x 4' x 3/4" sheet. I now have no job so to save money I'll have to use left overs. :cry:

I built one box with particle board when I was 16. I can't imagine doing it again, especially for a clone.

If you've got some resin, fiberglass the inside of it like Jason did. Should be rock solid then!! :wink:

That's a bit overkill for my purposes.

Here's the box. Simple really. Externally it's 14" x 15" x 32.25"

Internally that's 5189.0625 ci of 3.003 cf.

And a 3 minute video for yas all.
