So I started the lazy susan project today and made a lot of progress. I am only building the box right now and will do the wiring later.
Just as a disclaimer, I have never built a box before and this is my first time tackling a project like this. Feel free to do what every you want but I'm not responsible. I got all my information from various sites including crutchfield.
I decided to copy the idea of the lazy susan sub box where the sub would be floating and pointing down towards the ground. I did not do everything the "recommended way" but I had not choice because of the shallowness of the lazy susan area.
Items needed:
jig saw
drill and drill bits
drywall screws (I used 1 1/4")
MDF wood
wood glue
I went to home depot today and bought 1/2 mdf and the employee helped me out a lot and actually cut everything I needed except for the cover. It usually cost .25 cents after the first 2 cuts but he did it all for free. I know I should be using 3/4 but because I had to use an old 10" sub from a previous car, I had to sacrifice the wood strength to make everything fit. It I had the money, I would recommend getting a shallow sub.
2 sides = 22x6.75
2 sides = 13x6.75
1 side where sub was going to be mounted = 22x14
Lazy susan cover = later
When I got home, I cut the whole for the subwoofer. I did not have a protractor so I had to improvise.
Then I used a hole drill bit to start cutting the hole.
Using a jig saw, I cut out the hole for the sub.
Test fit.
Next, I drilled holes into the sides where I planned to screw. Using some kind of wide grip vise makes the job a lot easier.
Everything pre drilled.
I started to put the box together. Before you put the screws in, use wood glue to bond the boards together. Feel free to use a lot to completely seal the enclosure (you can also uses silicon later to ensure the box is sealed properly).
Let that sit for at least 12-24 hours.
No for the lazy susan cover. To take the cover off, there are 2-10 mm bolts that you need to unscrew and the lid slides out. The bolts are under the carpet labeled in red.
