So, when you look thru the basket holes and see only 7mm or so of coil overhang, remember that is in an inch-tall gap! It really is no joke. It could be in the neighborhood or 20-25mm, total top-plate thickness. Tons of magnet surface area and a huge top plate extension above the 10mm or so thick plate you see the basket mounted to. It’s a pretty angry little sub, much more hidden behind that basket than what is seen with a quick glance. Here are a few pics of the beefy little Sundown SD8d4.

So, I bit the labor bullet and decided to surprise the guy. And, with the limited exposed Birch edges, the additional labor wouldn’t cause the end of the world to come any sooner. So, I decided (only because I had two planks of 8″ wide Birch Ply already cut and hanging around in the way) that surprising my wishful client with a hybrid Birch-Ply/MDF enclosure would put a smile on his face. After seeing the price comparison, he decided MDF was looking better by the minute. Naturally, they cost quite a bit more, due to the much more time consuming finishing work and partially because of the doubled material cost. (For those who didn’t know, I’m a representative for AD Designs.) He first inquired about a quote on an ALL-Birch-Ply enclosure.

This is a client who decided to try an AD Designs 500 series 8″ sub in his ride.

Thanks for viewing and visiting the site. Hey, if you enjoyed looking at this…share it and comment. End result of a takes-way-too-long packaging process. Show what kind of end material used for packing sometimes. Pic of the remaining speaker wire with the binding post heads taped on for safe shipping. Routed mounting hole and finished product after hand sanding. After the 0.375″ round-over bit made its mark.
Another view of where the amplifier will be mounted. This is the pre-final sanding stage, after sanding the few filler holes. Here is my “clamp” assembly for the last piece….the top. Here are my chocks, wedged in to hold the waveguide corners in place while the glue dries. A bunch of clamps holding a bunch of wood in place……. Fully assembled binding posts and the Crazy Glue gel I used to secure the final nut on both the posts. Amplifier location with corresponding output-terminal-aligned binding post holes. This is just the binding posts solder tabs with his 12ga speaker wire soldered on. Here’s a quick mock up of the binding posts installed thru a piece of 0.78″ MDF. This way, he has only a few inches to run wire straight out of his amp to each binding post. This way, after finding out which side he ran his power wire down, I can figure out which way the amplifier needed to be spun on the back of the box and where my binding posts needed to be. This screenshot is from the Kicker website, where I had to look up the terminal layout of his amplifier. Cured but with a second joint glue application along the entire perimeter of the compression chamber and inside corner of the wave guide. No mechanical fasteners used on this part.
Glue applied to wraparound wave guide, about to position, set and clamp.
Pic of assembled and dried baffle and side. Very few staples were used when I had time to apply just pressure and glue, during specific stages of construction.įinished panels except for throat round over and mouth angle. She came out beautiful and I sure hope the packing was sufficient enough for the treacherous hands of UPS.
