Ski pass sub box

[Jall]

About to start building my box, sealing it up against the ski pass.

Before I start my drawings, what is the angle of the floor-wall?

I know with E36's it's 65deg's......

Cheers,
Jack.

I measured mine back when I was working on one. I don't remember what it is, but you could always measure it, treating it as a right triangle. Or a protractor works well.

[Jall]

Haha, triangle great idea didn't even think of that.

Jeesh, one year out of school and I'm already forgetting my maths. lol

[Jall]

So my dodgy measurements worked it out to be about 70 degrees.

The piece of paper I cut out to visualise it seems to match up almost perfectly, I'll be using a thick piece of foam/rubber as a gasket as well, so this is close enough for me.

So yeah, anyone else that's wondering; 70 degrees should work well.

EDIT: Ack, double post.

[Raxe]

That's roughly what mine came out to too.

[Addissimo]

when I did the math, it was about 70 degrees, when I used a tool that very neatly measures angles (not a protractor) it was 67-69 degrees. Either way, if you use thick enough gasketing material, you'll be fine. :)

So what I'm getting is that you are going to sela you box to the ski bag hole? I have a sealed box for 2 10's and I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Please keep us updated, I want to know how it will sound.

Thanks

Sealing two subs against the ski pass proves a little more difficult, but it can be done. We made a box for my buddies E34 that had the subs mounted on an angle on each side so that both could be through the hole. Hard to explain, but yeah.

I ended up changing my design slightly and going ported, read through Luke's posts on boxes in the E30, was a great help for me.

You need one of these:

What
the
fuck

are you guys doing? Are you trying to give your brain a hernia?

Who gives a shit what the angle is, you aren't building a fucking protractor, you are building a sub box. Determine the depth at the top of the box, the depth at the bottom of the box and build the damn thing!

LOL that's what I was thinking. Damn i wish I had a folding rear seat...

[netcsk]

Its for the angles on the cuts, Luke ;)

hernias can be good.

If you have a vertical marker (and measurement), and measure the top and bottom depths as Luke stated, you can calculate the angle.

[netcsk]

but who caries a calculator with trig functions in the garage?*

*Note: It is actually how I measured the angles..
