I can fit a 4x8 as well and I still let it hang out... That's how I roll.. Thug Life.. <cue Doug Benard soundman thug life music from his video> Got'em... Hahaha.. BTW, that's nice looking wood I had a shop had all the wood I could possibly need,, I bought once from them 1/4" mdf sheets, then went back and they were wanting to sell me MDF hire than what I was paying at HD or Lowes.

Just a word. Amazon Prime FTW! Ordered a plunge base for the router Friday. Showed up today. I'm very tempted to have some fun doing the tweet and mid rings but staying on focus with the IB wall.

What's the cost for boards like that?
I looked high and low and could not find any good wood. Had to settle on 13 ply from Lowes.

Mother fucker. I was on the toilet taking a shit.

The 7/8 was $50 for a 5x5' sheet.
$35 for the 5/8" sheet.
If the wheel wells weren't narrower than the spot where the baffle is going I'd already be done. Frappin Civic isn't accommodating this IB build so well. Have to commit to a profile that's as large as possible but still wiggle past the car to fit into position. What a pain.

So how'd y'all spend your Memorial Day weekend? I had fun with tools this weekend. Progress made. In short, made above straight saw track guide. Cut some wood. Got a plan together and baffle layers fitting, which because of the short width in front of the mount location was no small feat. I envy you guys who've got a straight shot for your baffle hole. Here we go...
Use whatcha got for straight edge guide.. I can now make straight cuts
Sealing layer of 1/4" 2-PC fitted
Putting saw and flush trim bit to work
Because the baffles are angled they of course don't line up so I drilled center sub holes for jasper jig pins while in car so to have the holes line up... Plan anyway. Looked good on paper.
How nice to learn how to use a plunge base for accuracy of depth.
Layer one, which would have probably sufficed. 7/8" 15 ply Russian birch ply.
It fits!! You have no idea how stoked I am at this point. Second layer of 5/8" ply.
All three layers as they lie in position in car. 1/4" MDF which is useless for strength but in two pieces can go in flush all around.
This baffle with subs weighs oh a metric ton or so.. But I can imagine MDF would have been heavier. The subs are the thing.. AE IB motors are no joke.
