Dirtys build log for atomic APX burb box.

[Dirtrider4eva 10+ year member]

well as follows. i have a pair of atomic apx with AA mayhem recones. motor #872s . doing some talking to some spl members, i was reccomended doing a 25 x 12 x12 box with an external 8" aero. this is for sheer SPL. who knows how well it would do. next time i would probably bump it up the the 3 cubic foot area with 8" external aero after playing with BB6 and WinISD. but we'll see. anywho, heres for pics.

the subbies

This is the rough end of the box. the top double baffle and front are clearly not glued. but how it will look. the sides will be black and the rest will be stained brown to match my wood grain interior followed by a clear coat.

I'm really happy with the sides. they turned out glossy and nice for birch. alot of sanding and layers. but turned out great.

sex.. curious to see how the stain turns out.

cutting the double baffle was a PITA. it took forever using a saber saw through the 1.5" Birch ply. the blade bent alot.

as they sit comfortably.

this is for the aero fitment. very difficult cutting a perfect circle with a saber saw. followed using the router and hand sanding to try and get the smoothest surface.

pretty tight. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

IMO you're crazy to not double wall the whole thing if space isn't an issue and you're going for SPL

id go with a triple baffle all around and a quad baffle on the top... dont even worry about volume. just keep adjusting the port.

if that becomes an issue i will go around with another layer. and then looks will be forgotten.

heres the "trunk" of the wagon.

rear seats fold down so i can even allow it to move up or change direction

workshops real dirty. but it happens. clean it up once a week it feels like.

nice and tight

need to route and bevel the edges yet. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
