you do mock ups with screws? wow..didnt know people screwed together how they want the box to look before they glue and screw it together...according to taz you did it wrong..you arent supposed to use screws to make a box...

 

starting to smell pretty bad in here.....

 

how are you suppose to hold together and take apart, each panel probable came in/out of the car 10+ time to fit it and panels around it. screwing a box together is fine, if you predrill your holes with counter sink, you wont spit the wood, the screws or nails are there until wood glue dries, they do the same as clamps. i prefer finish nails, you disturb the wood less, and i think they are stronger, as i have ripped apart many screwed boxs with ease and nails hold like a crack hore on a rock.

 

ok so you do agree with me that the screws are only there to hold the wood till the glue dries...well maybe you need to explain that to the newest tr member who loves to find ways to hate on me. he says its amateur to use wood screws and that it only tries to cover up for non-straight cuts.

 

complete night and day. I kinda wish i woulda thought of that trunk cutting trick on a few builds. lol BTW absolutly nothinh wrong with with the corner bracing. This is a business and there is no point other than to stroke your ego in cutting 45s. The 2x2s are just as strong and way quicker and cheaper for customer. Not to mention they are usually never seen!Im not trying to bash cande but grade A is way further along in his skills. If you were smart you would ask questions and learn some tricks rather than bash

Just my $.02

 

yea ur $0.02 has been cut in half with you thinking that 45's and 2x2 corner bracing are the same in anyway shape or form. do some research or ask around and see that they arent the same.

 

Not to be a dick, but dude you cant even design and build a bandpass by yourself.While I have ran a retail shop that employs 6 full time installers. And you ask how the ties in? Because I did alot of the box design. Also did a decent amount of builds while there. We all have our place in the industry and I will admit I am not the most technical here, but I am smart enough to learn from the guys that are ( or smart enough to hire them and let them do it while enjoying a cool beverage from the A/C) All im sayin is I wouldnt bash grade A about building boxes and I have probably built a good amount more boxes than you. But I could be wrong you could be the most producing box builder in Fl. ( somehow I doubt that). Dude I give you an E for effort. And I believe you have to have confidence in yourself but Im also a realist.You are way outta control. Ive seen your build post and I respect 1stGen alot more at this point. At least he listens to the voice of reason. And Im sure you are going to label me as one of your HATERS and try to bash me. To be honest I DONT GIVE A FUCK ! Im sure there are plenty of people on this site that dont even like me but would agree.

 

so tell me what not being able to design a bandpass(at this moment in time still doing research on proper design) has to do with knowing the science of sound and how 45's help acoustics of a box...or how you just compared "2x2's" to 45s and saying they are the same thing.

i dont care how many boxes you've designed if you think that 2x2's are the same thing as 45's i'd like to put one of my boxes up against yours (since obviously you dont design them with 45's in the corners) and see which box picks up the win on the meter.

 

i'll take that bet. i've got a couple of identical 10" subs here. you can run them off about 200 rms. im willing to donate 2 of them. you design and build a box (not have someone else do it like you are now, and have done in the past) and i'll do the same. then we can drop them in your cheater car one by one, and see who gets more numbers.


insert your excuses on why you arent going to do it below. only valid excuse is u know ur a retard, and retards never win.

 

Damn, you better take this challenge Cande.

That'd be some cool shit.
