My mods should result in lower extension, at slight expense of throw.

How much would would you charge me matey, to do a rough prototype in chipboard?

Over the years, we've come across scoops which actually sound better in chipboard & MDF than ply! Not too sure if this all depends on the type of cab.

i cut each 8x4 sheet seperately. plan your cuts carefully to get the most out of your sheets, you will find the scoop side panels are the biggest panels to cut out.

Just take things slow, do a panel or 2 in each session and don't rush!

i had a little break from the scoop build since the last lot of pics, but last night i put a couple of hours work in..
 
heres the formers for the actual scoop bit. i decided to use the curved formers as recomended in the super scooper plan, i also added a 50mm wide horizontal brace which i mounted into the curved formers via cut outs for extra strength.

not practical
very good static using the ribs
we did that in the XXL's and doing the same in the DubSubs
 
you should have left the back off though so you can see if there are any gaps to fill
in the dubsub its ok because of te piece missing for the castors
 
will be proper when you've finshed them
good to have the photo history of the build as well when you go to sell them
