Well my box isnt exactly for a 3000 watt chinese gen, i feel some pics will help others decide the path that they want.
Started out with a bare engine and gen head, i built the base out of welded perforated 2" square tubing. i then welded the frame to hold the "box" panels out of 1" angle iron. Attach the sheet metal skin, IIRC i used 18GA galvinazed. on the inside of the box i glued some 1" thick foam insulation boards from home depot, to take that "twang" out of the sheet metal. to control the gen i made a control panel from an old road sign, found at the junkyard btw. the wires and such in the picture is what im talking about. i am a fulltimer so i need a dependable gen, yet i dont want to listen to gen noise all the time, so the box seemed like a logical choice for noise control. before the box my spl at 20 feet 74dba on the air outlet side, after the box was installed this level dropped to 60dba. in other words it went from a roaring rumble to a swoosh type sound. heres the pics
gettin ready to lift box
have to remowe this panel to allow the box to pass over the exhaust
oh no the gen is naked!! hehe
