Opperation SVO Tunes....

[SchoolBoy]

Is officially under way... After getting closer to putting the interior back into the svo, and thanks to watching overhauling I dug out my old drawings and layed out the parts for my new speaker box. The basic Idea was to relocate the the 5x7's so they don't cancell one another out. Plus add in a pair of 8inch woofers and the amp to run them while taking up the least amount of space possible. What I came up with is shown below.




So with help from daddy and his skill saw, we have cut out the bottem, back plate, sub section face, and the sub section top so far. I know I should be using 3/4 mdf, but these two 3/4 remanants were free leftovers from puting the floor down in grandmas bathroom.






This is about where the two subs and the amp will be, plus I tossed a couple of scraps in to show the faces for the what will be 6x9 sections....






Hope get the other 7 peaces cut out on monday and tuesday....

I have a similar setup in my '83, except I have 10" subs, and it sits up off the floor about 4" so I have room to store the t-tops. The amps are installed in the spare tire well, with all wiring under the carpet. I'll get some pics when weather allows...

For the record they're 6x8s not 5x7s . Looks like a good setup cause thats the thing about using a regular box is it eliminates the back speakers. Keep the pics comin!

I would like to see that when you get a chance!

Ya I knew it was one or the other, plus I keep kicking around the idea of putting 6x9's in because I have the room...

Update time!

So on tuesday dad and I attacked the box again we still have a fair amount of cutting to do.....



Here is a little rick dads using to get the closest cut possible. Lay out a straight edge, clamp it, make a cut with the saw, and use the caliper to gauge the distance away from the straight edge to cut right on the line. Remember to take your measurement on both sides of the cut to account for the blade thickness depending on what side of the line your cutting.





Now with the tops to the 6x9 boxs cut out, doing a little mock up no glue....





Line up inside and matching sides that need same angle cuts so you can take it in one shot.


6x9 outsides done....




Insides are done, both needed a little triming...

Right part two covers the rest of what dad and I did tuesday and tonight.....


Having reached the point where we needed to actualy need to start assembling the box the bottem and back plates were marked so we could drill and counter sink the screw holes.







Add some wood glue, 1 5/8 sheet rock screws, and volala...









Next up was to cut out and nail the center sub divider in....


With that in place the top of the sub section was nailed in place.



Dad at the point of "I've had enough."




Got the 6x9 inners glued and nailled in place...... EM GET IT!!!
