Babs' 08 Honda Civic Si Sedan

So minor update. Found the coolest local warehouse today with all kinds of goodies. The guy that helped me builds home speakers, small world. They had every kind of wood stuff from wood flooring to big artistic cuts of cypress. Awesome place. So I picked up two 5x5 sheets of this..



Russian birch ply. A sheet of 7/8" and 5/8". Pretty solid stuff.

Makes me think for two IB12AU's I might be ok with just a single layer of 7/8". I bought the 5/8" layer for strength if needed. Plan is some aluminum angle on the bottom at least and top if necessary for rigidity and for fastening.

Your thoughts?

Wow, that kicks ass. I can't find the good stuff around here.

there's a place up the road from me that is a regional lumber supplier (they have their own mill). they have ALL SORTS of very nice woods. I've been there a few times and they're always extremely helpful. When I worked at the skatepark I'd drive the owner's truck up there and pick up lumber for the ramps.

I visited there last year to purchase some high quality birch ply but the problem is, they won't cut their sheets down. And owning a civic, well, I can't fit a 4x8 sheet in my car. if you are interested in them, you can call them:

All he needs is a small utility trailer...he has a hitch

I can borrow a truck for instances like that. I was more just letting you know to keep that in mind, Al, if you wanted to go up there to buy anything.

So a small update. It's going slow especially when you have a PITA dog under your feet who wants to play ball all day.


So I did up a "sealing" baffle in 1/4" to take up the space which goes in in two equal pieces. Job being to close in all the gaps. Love a flush trim bit.



Plan is that front baffle will get a nice chamfer or roundover edge outlining the subs on the board behind them.

Next trick will be using my old MDF baffle cut down as large as possible but small enough to get by the rear struts and actually fit in one piece well behind the front piece. That'll be used for a template for the actual 7/8" baffle. Ran out of daylight.

It's going. It's Babcock slow, but it's going.

"Babcock slow"... I like that.

I can fit a 4X8 in mine without it hanging out

So decided to do two layers. 7/8" and 5/8" ply. Should be no question on strength.
