Thanks for the compliment. The stand-offs are acrylic. 1 3/4" I think. Just parted them off on a lathe. Drilled and tapped. The were bolted from the bottom. I drilled a hole through the board and then a second hole to accommodate the 5mm led. Question..is your box a ported one?@chowman90 Wow! Very clean-looking and I love those LED floor supports! What a great idea. You kill two birds with one stone; floor supports and LED lighting. Would be interested in knowing more about them.; how are they mounted and the LED lights themselves.
I actually thought about installing some LED-strip lighting around the amp rack, but just got burnt out on the install process. It was 95+degrees every day in the garage during the install and it took me longer than I thought it would. The LEDs will have to wait. LOL!
I still haven't gotten around to tuning the system. Work picked up big-time shortly after I finished the install, so I've just been running it as-is. Good timing, I guess, that I finished it right before I wound up having very little spare time again.
I'm very happy with amplification I choose; more power than I'll ever need and the Morel components sound great, but the mids can be grating on certain songs. I'm just living with that part until I can get around to tuning.
It took more than a month but I finally got my hands on a 12W6d3-D4 sub. I sat on Crutchfield's waiting list for a while before deciding to just pay $20 more and get it somewhere else. The sub and the Precision Port are sitting in the garage, waiting for me. I've got my box design done. 2.0cf net, with a 4" Precision Port. Tuned at 30Hz and WinISD shows ruler-flat down to 40Hz. Should be a nice sounding box.
@mikes2017gt Maybe you can make a bit of extra coin on here? Also consider just selling a kit with all the panels precut and ready to assemble. I would consider one. I still have done nothing to build my sub box. Zenclosures won't ship to Canada and I'm too lazy to haul my POS table saw out in this cold weather to work on it.Keep me posted. Maybe I'll pay you to make a duplicate lol

Hey Stangtime, I have a Zenclosures as well, your thoughts?
I am in Houston, depending on how much you charge. I have a Focal K2 12" sub.Thanks guys, I'm flattered. If someone is local or willing to drive to pick it up in south Texas, I'd probably be onboard, but I can't do shipping. The shipping cost would make it bad for everyone. I've looked into this in the past.
As I'm not a business address with a loading dock (I'm considered Residential b/c I am ) I don't get any kind of good deal shipping rates from FEDEX or UPS. Also, shipping MDF, you've got to wrap it really well. Corner protectors and all that mess. That stuff costs money. So it's either the buyer pays through the nose or I make no money.
It's unfortunate, but it's the truth. :(
