Here's my one day sub build

[warnerwh]

Took one day to complete this. It still needs more stain and varnish but is playing now. The box is 6.5cuft with a Dayton 500 watt plate amp.



You guys have me addicted to this already. I'd like to do a small 2 way for my daughter to get my feet wet doing a crossover. Then my HT speakers will need to be done. After that I should be ready for a world class pair of speakers for myself. :B

Looking good - one day !? You should be able to punch out the rest of the stuff on that list in a week or two

Thanks Paul. While I don't have to work I may as well accomplish something. Besides I have to finish a large HT sub I'm doing for a friend so I had to get this one done and out of my way. Still need fiberglass, baffles and drivers for that one. My friend will be in town in a couple of days to get it. Last word is they're going to have it upholstered to match their furniture. Being 3'x4'x21" there's no hiding it. :lol:

It's nice to build a quality speaker for little money too. I'd like to learn how just assemble a crossover so I can do some other speakers. We have enough subs here now.

Construction log? pics?

I didn't even think of taking picks. I'm very new at this. I just finished my first sealed sub for my stereo about 3 weeks ago. You can see it in the DIY subwoofer showcase under Mission Accomplished. That's the first diy project I've done. I'm almost done with this sub:



I wanted to finish the big sub first but I got snowed in and couldn't get more baffle material so I put my other sealed sub together. The big sub in the picture will be getting two RL-P 15" drivers and is a gift for a friend who will be here tomorrow to pick it up. They will be having it upholstered to match their leather furniture.

I will be building an exact duplicate of this sealed sub as I don't care for the first one in gloss black I built. The cosmetics could have been better. Also I'm making these new ones a little smaller which fortunately doesn't change the tuning enough to matter.

Sound quality is outstanding. I'm very impressed with the Dayton RS 15 HiFi drivers people told me to use. The help I've received here has been commendable. :T
