Amp Rack On Top of Subwoofer Box

You're talking about the starter holes for the driver?  Just big enough to keep the wood from splitting.  The screws have to cut spirals through the MDF as you turn them in, and they have to reach a stopping point where you can exert a lot of torque and can't turn the screw any more.  There are no remedies for too large of starter holes, like putting chewing gum or something on the ends of the screws.  You could likely remedy a bad install of a tiny driver like a mid with wood filler or sealant, but not a hard-pounding sub.  Rotate the sub and start over, or if the logo is c**keyed and doesn't suit you, make a new baffle.

A drill bit for a starter hole can be no larger than the diameter of the screw shaft...less threads.  It should actually be slightly smaller so that the act of driving in the screw compresses the surrounding wood.  The spiral threads of the screw and the compressed wood are what hold the sub in place.

Whats up. That is what I'm doing insetad.  But I'm still going to make "it float".

As for the box goes, I have got the plexiglass finished. When I go and buy all the screws and whatnot, I'm just going to get bigger screws for my sub so I can have a straight logo. The upholstery shop I go to won't be open till tomorrow. But I got to work... I think I may have it finished this weekend... :\ bummer....

I have the RCA's come out the back and them will route them to the sides of the vehicle. The other wires are going through the middle. The grounding point will be somewhere on the floor pan. I'm trying to build a console , but I need ideas. Check out the fiberglass forum, if you can help!

EDIT: Since I need to fuse the fans from the relay, I need to know where I can get the fuses to just above their amperage and something that houses the fuse. Radioshack carry something like that?

And I also upgraded the fuse on my power line from the battery! Its a 135 amp circuit breaker! It cost $50 though. He said it will never go out. Everytime its tripped, you reset it. Is'nt that just dandy?! 

T-nuts are an alternative, too, if the screw holes are too big for screws.  Some box builders use these right from the start.

Haha, your amazing...

Its MDF!

Whats up guys. Good news. The enclosure is complete! Well, I dont have the fans installed, and the wiring for the relay to the amps finished and whatnot. The plexiglass looks so freakin' good on top! This thing sure does scream out steal me though. Haha, I gotta tint the windows heavy now with my highly invested alarm system. There is another problem although. I'm not sure whether it really is a big deal. To compensate distance from terminal cups to amp, they are sideways. Problem I found out today is that 1 bolt on each amp cannot be put it. So each only has 3 on them. I could'nt fit the nut on the bolt since the bolt is too close to the port wall and nut is too fat.

The only thing I can think of remedying it is use the extra wiring left over after I cut them down, and mount the amps parallel with the box. But, what do I do About the existing holes? I assume I can just put a silicon bead over the hole inside the cabinet?

As for the box, Well, if it were'nt black, you would see the horrible upholstery work I did'nt put my effort into. And I was also ill equipped for the job. But my hunting knife seemed to slice through the trunk carpet pretty well. Most of it by the naked eye looks seamless. But a prying eye will spot it out. Oh well, if I decide, I can just pull it all off and re-upholster it. Hey paint it! Ya!!!

I will get some high quality pictures up tomorrow hopefully. See you then!

Here is the pics! I redid the amps and they are now parallel with the box. All 4 points of the amp are bolted. It looks better also, but from these pics, I'm sure you have an idea what I'am doing. Thanks for your help, stevdart!
