Sub Box
So here's my Sub Box. The start of it anyway. It's my first Fiberglass project. I've never done anything with it,
and it's hard as shit. I thought it would be easier, but I think I'm doing ok. Check it out! Here's the board I read to help out... http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fabr...s-sub-box.html |

But that box does look like it would be a pain in the ass if you ever had to access the spare... I would a)reloate the spare or b) ditch the spare because if you put it under that box it is as good as dead weight

Thanks for all the input. There will be two ESA (circuit City brand) 12 inchers in there for now. A 760 watt Pioneer amp to go with my Pioneer deck. And later on when I save up some money I will get two Pioneer 12's. And I think I can make it easier to take out in case I need the spare. Maybe cutting it into two separate boxes. ?? We'll see :)
PS Thanks for moving this thread. Right as I hit the post button I was like "shit...oh well" |

So I just took out the box, and can I say...IT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS!! But not because of the shape or anything.
I taped down the tinfoil so it wouldn't blow in the wind. But when it's done it will just lift, turn, and then come right out. SWEET! it's just the way I wanted it to work out. Here's pics... |

You are going to add some more layers though right? Its looking awefully thin there for a couple of subs. Project is looking good though

No really......But to be effective a ported box will be needed with this much air volume ;)
You cant run a lot of power on those subs and leave it sealed, it will not hit low and will burn up the voice coils for sure. |

Not true, however, the box should be built with the speaker manufactures recommendation in mind.
