Hi, ordered blueprints for a dual ported design for my Type R's earlier today from Jason of Mobile Enclosures.
I am 17 years old and this will be my first box build ever, was just wondering what tools + supplies should I need to build this box?
I'm pretty sure my dad has most of the tools needed lying around in my garage somewhere, but what can I use to cut the holes for the woofers if I don't have a router?
Also what do I use to connect the speaker wire from the inside of the box to the amp on the outside?
I was told the if I drill a hole big enough for a nut and bolt I can use that instead of plastic cup terminals that you would find on prefab boxes. Would I just use an 8 gauge ring crimp to secure the wire to the bolt on the inside or would I have to solder the wire to the bolt?
I am super excited to get this started, just waiting on the blueprints from Jason + need to go pickup the MDF once I have some freetime. I'm even considering filming a build log just for fun //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Thanks for the help everyone, love this site and all of the advice you guys have for me.
