boomer76 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Okay here is the outline to where the panels are going to go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer76 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Here is the baffle cutout, did it with a jigsaw, I know it's not perfect but I remeasured after the cut and it is fractionally bigger than the 14" hole, if it doesn't work ill just get another board and redo it differently, driver should arrive tomorrow and then I will cut the access hole to size of the driver and then screw and glue the box all together once I finish the baffle...

CECAA850 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Looks vaguely familiar. Keep the pics coming[Y]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer76 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well I redid the baffle cut-out, the driver came in and it needed to be precisely cut... Needless to say the 15" driver is massive!!! Can't wait to get this all put together , It took forever to get the mounting holes fitted with the t nuts , had to grind down part of them so they wouldn't hang over the hole... I would say I would be assmbling the box tomorrow but its my son's 4th birthday this weekend and I am smokin some pork shoulder and brisket so I don't know if I will have time enough to cut the access panel and then time to screw and glue it all together my guess is I will have it assembled Friday night .... Will keep the pics coming as I get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I typically grind down part of the T-nuts also. They most likely would never give a problem rubbing the surround but it makes me feel better.[] Have fun with your son and take lots of pics. They grow up incredibly fast.

boomer76 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well the BBQ'd brisket and pork shoulder turned out great... Finally got to work on it today and made a lot of progress... Some the mdf wanted to crack when I screwed the panels together even with pilot holes but nothing to serious.... Will put some bracing in and the cover on tomorrow and the flange for the access door, will finish the access door spot sand and paint it Wednesday and will give a full report on how it sounds!!!
