Subwoofer Box Build

[svn2002s]

Luke, have you ever built your box with the port holes facing towards the speaker holes on the rear shelf? Would it work? (I got an M3 rear bench).

The E34 just came back from its first freeway drive since 2008. Felt like warm poop, but it is HER car...it will be safe, smooth and clean in the next couple days. New heater core, new radiator all done, now I have to rebuild her speedo, as this one is different.

If anyone is thinking about getting an E34, do NOT buy any earlier than 1991. Trust me on this, there were some growing pains at BMW.

BTW: I appreciate the 'props, guys.

any update on the box build Luke?

LUKE: cardboard sheets can be found at Costco... for free.

They will have thin ones (like cardstock) or thicker ones... ask nicely and any employee who looks like a stocker will be glad to let you have some. They are called "slip sheets" and they are usually best found in the foods area and in the back by the paper towels and stuff like that. They are used to separate layers of merchandise.

Good luck.

I NEED one of these! Luke needs to get his E34 on the road so he can make me one to buy! lol

Well, got the head back on the E34 and all was shit. STILL violently overheating, STILL no heat, spent another 6 or 7 hours trying to diagnose...fuck it, the damn things gets JParkers old M20. I gotta get this damn thing on the road.

Box build is the next priority. I am gonna build first and then advertise, so be ready in about a week or so.


BTW: I need large hunks of cardboard 36"X48". Anyone get any ideas on how/where to get them EXCEPT bicycle shops, please PM me!

Not sure on sub choice yet. I'm a bit of a JBL fan so I've been thinking of a P1022.

[Erik j]

Looking at the sticking in the background I would say Focal maybe

[DrMcDave]

nice. what sub are you going to use?

[Wh33lhop]

This thing is bitchin'.

[darrenforeal]

bumping this thread. When you are ready to build some more in a few weeks I am down for one.

What kind of speakers are you going to build for your house? I keep looking at partsexpress thinking of buying a kit or something. I'm not big into design but I like building things.

I'm sure even the cheapest kits blow away most of the manufactured overpriced crap that is floating around.
