did you paint the inside of the port?

yup, before I carpet rattle can the port black...Takes quite a bit depending on the width of the port, just because you have to spray it for a while to get the very back dark black...

Looks good. Where the flushmount double baffle =) Any reason for the sub and port facing the back?

I was actually going to do a flushmount baffle. But my Circle Jig for my Router Mysteriously dissapeared so I had to jigsaw this one...And the sub/port back was to keep the box as shallow as possible. This is still the DD grocery getter so I had to leave some room for Beer and Chips...

Thanks. It takes up a little more than half the total depth, so i have about 12-15" left. Not a whole lot. But enough...

hopefully my Circle Jig turns up my then. I dont like to ship out boxes with Jigsawed sub holes. I would hate your your subs not to fit...If i dont find out who stole it by the end of the coming week, ill just have to buy another one

As long as I have the specs on the sub, all I need is the cutout diameter and the outside diameter. Its nice to have the sub with me so I can make sure it mocks up nice, but not really necessary...

Seems like a whole hell of a lot of measuring and drilling. For $35 i think i'll just pick up a new one...

yea i heard about those. lol, they look like sh*t though. and the ones i see for 8" subs i dont think will fit mine.
im glad to see that you painted your port. i know tons of people that get the box built sub in it and wrapped and then look at it and say i should have painted inside the port. some just leave it. looks like crap.

What im saying is any bare MDF that shows after the finished product...Non upholstered jobs dont count...

yea i know, but i think un covered boxes also show lack of quality. i know is will sound the same but it just looks incomplete. in the next couple of months my new box will be done or i will have a 1, either way i will carpet the box
