This is the easy part. I can bang out raw MDF versions as fast as the glue will dry. Its the finishing part that's laborious and time consuming, which is why I skipped it in my first two sub builds I may do something with this one though. I'll have to see how I feel about it when the time comes.

fuzz092888 Audioholic Warlord Mar 25, 2014 #26 Top's on. As you can see I have to leave the glue directly in front of the heater because it cooled back down and with nights in the teens the workshop is getting down to under 50. Which is definitely no good for glue setting.

Steve81 Audioholics Five-0 Mar 25, 2014 #27 I haven't seen any mention of internal cabling yet??? Personally I wouldn't go any lower than Cardas Clear Beyond speaker wire; that should help speed up the bass considerably and make up for those clunky 18" drivers you're using. I still wouldn't expect your build to beat a good 10" or 12" REL or B&W in musicality, but you'd be a step closer. PS: Looking good so far

I think we all know by now that I don't use these subs for sound. They're basically just huge, expensive Bass Shakers. Except they shake the entire house, because let's be serious, what a waste of money to just shake one seat

fuzz092888 Audioholic Warlord Mar 30, 2014 #37 First outer baffle is going on. I dry fitted and it was extremely tight. I can already see it's going to be a PITA to wedge the driver in there unless I take off the gasket. <style id="pageBrightnessCustomCSS">body{zoom:165%;}</style>

fuzz092888 Audioholic Warlord Apr 27, 2014 #40 First outer hole cut. Tried it a little differently this time. Instead of cutting all the holes and gluing the baffle pieces together first, I glued each piece on one at a time and then cut each hole. This way was more time consuming, but I think I like the results a bit better. Had a little mishap, and this is the result. Triple thick baffle. When I did a little experiment with the drivers, I found that their a$$ ends needed about a 1/2" of separation at minimum so I added the extra baffles to try and get that extra spacing. I finished rough sanding all the edges, but still need to bondo.
