: Uber Box
CalusaCustomConcepts 05-25-2007, 02:41 AM As some of you know (I've been talking about it forever), I'm working on a super secret speaker box for the van. It's gonna be my daily driver, bass race, no-wall monster. I've named it Uber Box. I worked on it today for 11 hours until 2:00am. I'm as close as I've been to finishing (duh!) and I thought I'd post a pic to tease.....

young_gun 05-25-2007, 07:09 AM BOOOOOOO!!!!!! Teasing me this early in the am,you should be ASHAMED!
CBFryman 05-25-2007, 12:41 PM You suck.
CBFryman 05-25-2007, 12:42 PM BTW, that looks like a thick *** baffle.
CalusaCustomConcepts 05-25-2007, 12:49 PM Ahhhhh.....see there is info in that pic......a couple more hours today.....
maxpl 05-25-2007, 01:01 PM that picture actually tells me ALOt about your box. very VERY similar to mine so far. 2-15's with the subs up, port back, double baffle, and birch wood. correct?
CalusaCustomConcepts 05-25-2007, 01:02 PM Nice. I knew some people (including you) would figure some stuff out from that pic.
maxpl 05-25-2007, 01:05 PM Nice. I knew some people (including you) would figure some stuff out from that pic.
remember, i do wood work for a living. i can look at a piece of wood and even tell you if its from the north, south, east, or west, domestic, or foreign. also if it was harvested in the summer, or winter. so that pic is basically a dead give away. those are also the same markings i had on my box when i built it.
CalusaCustomConcepts 05-25-2007, 01:08 PM Wow. I didn't know THAT about you. Interesting skill....
What can you tell from this?

maxpl 05-25-2007, 09:15 PM Close. It was off the floor after workin on the box. You're right on the trashcan though...
thought it was out of a shop vac due to how the pieces of other stuff are all to one side.

CalusaCustomConcepts 06-20-2007, 09:39 PM Darn spies....
Luke G 06-21-2007, 01:26 AM I just read through this whole thread and there are still no pics of the box. :confused:
Internal volume? How many pounds do you think the box will be when finished?
I've got a 12ft^3 sealed box that might give you a run for the money as a big *** enclosure.
CalusaCustomConcepts 06-21-2007, 06:42 AM It will weigh around 500lbs.
Off the top of my head, I'd say it's about 13 cu. ft.
It's for a single 18, and I'd love to see you at a show where we can compare scores.
CalusaCustomConcepts 06-21-2007, 06:42 AM Did someone say box pics?

CalusaCustomConcepts 07-18-2007, 12:40 PM Actually, it will fit, but on top of the back seats and above the window line. Besides, I like the gas mileage of the CRV......
You want a pic?
pimpedout97x 07-18-2007, 01:17 PM pic of box, yes
pic of crv, n.
KickinAudio 07-18-2007, 04:15 PM you meant y
CalusaCustomConcepts 07-18-2007, 05:06 PM Ok.
I started with a box that I already built for the van. Single 18, backfiring, port on same plane, single layer MDF except for the baffle. It was tuneable....meaning I had two different ports. One for music, one for SPL. I created a removable panel that would accept both ports.
I got the idea for this box, and I decided to use the old one as a template. It already fit between the wheel wells, so I couldn't make it wider. But I wanted to reinforce it with birch. So I added birch to the outsides on the baffle and back wall. But on the sides I put the birch on the inside.

KickinAudio 07-18-2007, 07:44 PM Consider that the day it was born. It's huuuuge and well fed now!
It will weigh around 500lbs.
Off the top of my head, I'd say it's about 13 cu. ft.
suburban_ant 07-18-2007, 11:33 PM i remember that box, had the sea foam green pvc in there right? goin sealed? i dont think the walls are thick enough, youre gonna have some serious flexxing :P
