Built a new box for the house..

**NDMstang65** · **02-18-09, 07:06 PM**

18" Sub, 15 cubic feet with the down firing power port tuned to 15Hz

Sorry no construction pics..but here's the finished product. Used a rosewood stain and a Sikkens clear on it...I think it turned out nice for some $2 per sheet birch

. Huge thanks to Dave and Ramos for the help! Greatly appreciated

The sub is still dirty..haven't cleaned it off yet. I'll get around to it eventually.

Looks good! Which series of 18" sub did you use and what did you use for the legs?

**NDMstang65** · **02-18-09, 08:54 PM**

Guess

Legs are actually 2 7/8" thick wall aluminum conduit

If I'd have to guess I'd say the Q18.

So no pics in my inbox first then Nick

Looks really clean and love the use of Al conduit... youd never have known.

How do the neighbors feel about it so far?

No pics of the powerport construction!? =Fail

.

Seriously though, what size port and flaring did you go with? 8" er? I'm gonna guess it's a Q18. Whatcha powering Ole Bettsy with? I like the legs...

**ngsm13** · **02-19-09, 08:03 PM**

I think it's built to last...

Nice to see you here Noah. Things are going great. I keep waiting for something to change, but with increased OEM, international sales, and AA really taking off... we are still riding on a very solid increase.

Done with school yet? Hope all is well for you too.

Well, that's really good to hear. I still have school on my back for a bit now, but I'm geared up for it this time, and doing well.

Nick... we need some vids! Also, what're your mains?!?!?!

Yeah went with a 8" one, 2" center and flared down

Just used rings and bondo-glass and made a wiper, sanded it down.

It's not perfect, but I don't have a wood lathe here so it works

Whatever works man...I don't think that the port will know the difference.
