I'm building a version of the sandbox cabinet, first pic of inner cabinet with 2 layers of sound deadening material(used to deaden car body panels), next pic with No-Rez. Should I cover the rest of the exposed area of the braces with No-Rez and what about the same area on back of inside baffle? I plan on filling the 1/2" space with lead shoot instead of sand.

whoa...looking good!!!

Looking good. 

[Danny Richie]

Looks awesome.

You don't need to cover the braces with No Rez. Only panels that also make up an exterior wall need No Rez. The braces won't resonant the outer wall. They will keep the outer walls from resonating.

I have questions, on running the wires from speaker to amp. My amp won't be attached to cabinet, should the 2 sets of wire be run through separate holes and if so how far apart, if wires run through the same hole should they be twisted together? Should I use the wire on the amp for the whole run, cutting it and attaching connecters to each end or use another wire( wire Danny sell with kits) to run from speaker to connecter and amp wire to connecter?

  Thanks, Mike

No Rez is black now?

Covered out side of inner box with vinyl sheeting left over from acoustical panel project and have most of spacers installed.



 
Anyone have answer to my questions in my last post?

Thanks, Mike

On the Super-V's the amps are externally mounted as well. So they are connected to the amp via SpeakOn connectors.





So the wiring already on the amps are used to the SpeakOn's.

Thanks Danny.

Sub is finished, just waiting for amp.

cabinet before bottom attached. I put two coats of dampening material over vinyl.


cabinet with lead shot ,top attached and stuff with a layer of ultratouch and poly.(120# of shot, speaker is 220# without amp) that why it sitting on furniture dolly, only way I can move it around.


cabinet not that cute, but its going on a shelf in entertainment cabinet in bedroom with grill covering entire opening. until then will try out in main system. Any reason why sub can't be firing up?

[Danny Richie]

I hope that is one heavy duty shelf.

Mike,

    What is the name of the sound deadening material you are using, I believe it is that blue stuff you show...?

[mikeeastman]

The deadening material is called eDead and is sold by Elemental Designs and used to deaden car body panels, it also comes in black. The shelf will be braced using  3"x3"x1/4"angle iron anchored to 2x4 walls, should hold it up.

Wow Mike, I think you win the tonnage award @ 220 lbs.   That's a beast!

Does one need stuffing in addition to No Rez on a sealed sub? I was thinkin' it wasn't necessary.

[mikeeastman]

I asked Danny about using the Ultratouch with the poly, so I assume if the stuffing was unnecessary he would have said something. There is stuffing in my OB7s and it also has No Rez.

[mikeeastman]

Got the beast fired up. Thats one dead box! Sounds very nice and its not even broken in. Very tight. Don't know if it makes a difference but right now I have sub aimed straight up?

[corndog71]

That's how I have mine.

[mikeeastman]

Great looking sub!

Danny can answer the vertical positioning of the driver.  It depends on the suspension - some drivers should not be mounted so that their cones are vertically oriented.  Others can take it just fine.
