    Default Got my sound box done for the generator


    Took a couple hours but it cuts the sound down to a 1/4 what it was. Saw some plans online and it was easy and many had done it without harming the generator. I do have a little more vents than the others but I was being careful not to burn it up. It's on the 2nd our of the 3 hour breakin.

    Very good with the ground rod you have. No such thing as being too safe.

    Looks like a fine way to cut down on the noise. I would have though about adding the material that is used to sound proof the inside of engine compartments on I/O compartments to the inside of the box. I believe it might cut your noise level down even more.

    Btw ATM. See figure 1 that you posted. That's what I have. Had some leftover 4 gauge wire from rewiring my batteries and used that to make a ground wire. Used a battery cable alligator clamp to secure to copper rod and proper ca me end to the generator. No shortcuts sunshine.
