Baffle is in. I welded the 1' steel plate to the main frame of the box and glued and screwed the mdf to it exept the piece on either side of the steel. Its glued and bolted with 3/8 bolt

I always tell the youngsters that if you're good at this hobby in high school and really understand it, you just might need to go into engineering Its great on a resume if presented properly! I mean this is mechanical and electrical engineering if I've ever seen it Looks good Rob! You can certainly get valuable advice from our friends in Europe. They helped me out along the way several times.

Thanks Matt. How you been?

Looking good Slacker....... Get back to work.

Hey Rob,
Is that MDF or Quad Wood?

Well, I think I see 4 layers, so it COULD be Quadwood

MDF+1" STEEL PLATE = Quadwood

also=4 more db

Quadness

I've been super busy lately with work and other things I have going on the side(trading stocks). I was hoping to make it out to heatwave but that just didn't work out. Maybe I'll make another show around here some time soon. Good luck with the build, I think you'll have some good results

thats looking bad ass rob keep up the good work.

Thanks Erik. Recones come tomorrow to rebuild subs to 18's and testing comes sunday

If you get this thing to work like the Team Budweiser truck used to with two 18's it should be very close to the goals you've set. I was thinking today how I miss the late nights at the shop, not so much competing, but just hanging out and building other people's stuff to compete. Beer, pizza, and saw dust at 2AM....it was good stuff!

how did testing go ??

Just got subs rebuilt and in. Tomorrow testing starts. Real happy with just the tone.

i think its a very smart change rob. you only lose 25% of your surface area and get alot more power per woofer. looking nice.

Thanks.

4 15's and 4 amps 165.5db.
2 18's and 1 amp 163.1db No roundovers on port or in box

I think you will be mo better with the new setup as well but I dont know squat lol

Actually I hate this. I ain't ever ran a smaller power class and really don't want to. Oh well.

dizzam rob!! You hae tweaking to do and your gonna be LOUDER!
