Big and Small

Post by Drock »

A couple new enclosures to play with.

Both turned out great.
I ran an elite.1 on both boxes. 4 ohm on the 8" rf hx2's
And 1ohm on the dd3512's.
Both move shit on the walls.

I just need something to put them in. Lol

the skill is to model a box, but to cut all material and put it together is easy :) good table saw and work goes so fast :)
Sounds like music...

Just needs to get router on the edges. A nice 3/4" or even 5/8" radius will look nice and professional.

Thanks guys,
Tricky, there is much much more to be done on the enclosures. Stay tuned.
Amp racked to come as well.

Vinyl wrapping skills are getting better.

Nico,

It's solid alright.
This is only half the enclosure.

Specialty plywood shop here called windsor plywood.
And it was only about $5 more per sheet than regular sheets.

Im hooked on the stuff.
Both boxes probably weigh same as the subs do.

The small box with those rf hx2 8" subs is actually pretty heavy id guess a good 50 lbs.

The larger box with the dd subs probably weighs in at just under 200 pound.
Subs are 80lbs alone.

I cant wait to try the dd's in my truck. I think that this enclosure is actually lower and louder than the one i did for the 6 elite 12's.
