OK, I finished just about the whole build on my 4cf enclosure and all that is left is to put on the front faceplate so when the sub is mounted it will be flush. First I cut 4 pieces of 3/4 mdf to 21''x 21'' and put them together useing carpenters glue and 2'' drywall screws. I used my dremel to drill all screwholes to avoid wood splitting.
Then I cut the piece for the center brace at 21''w x 19.5''h and mounted it in the center of the enclosure. I cut 5 holes in the brace, 1 at 13'' round with my jigsaw and 4 at 2 1/4 useing my drill and a hole saw bit.
Then after I let the box sit overnite for the glue to set up I sealed the inside seams with silicone caulk.
Then I cut a piece of birch, that I am useing for the front faceplate and back piece, to 21''w x 22.5h and mounted the back useing the same method of glue and drywall screws.
Then I cut to pieces of mdf to 21''w x 19.5h for the sub mount and glued them together with plenty of glue and then used 4 1'' sheet metal screws to connect them together. Jake and Elwood stood guard while they set up...:bigsmile:
I cut the mounting hole to the specified size of 11 1/8'' for when it is time to mount the sub and attached it to the enclosure.
I know, I know I am not the neatest when it comes to glueing but it will be cleaned up in the end.:yes:
I cut the faceplate at 21''w x 22.5h and cut out a 12.5'' hole with my jigsaw. This will, after mounted,make the sub flush with the enclosure. I haven't decided if I will make a grill or sometype of cover yet.:scratchhead:
I covered all the screwholes with wood putty and will start sanding tommorrow. Well for my first build it doesn't seem to be going badly at all but there is still alot of sanding and then I will decide on the finish. I will post more pics when I get further.........:yay:
