custom sub box design

thought id post it here too, its not really ice technical.

Hello everyone, i know im not a trader yet, but.

ive seen a number of threads about this should be offered on the forum.

im looking at making a number of different subboxes from fibreglass.

I just want a rough idea what people would be interested in, i.e keeping spare wheel, or combination of subs i.e 2x12" 2x10" 1x10" 3x8" etc.

ive heard a number of people go on about the stealth type fitted in between the space from the back seat, i could make something very similar.

(as shown below)

the stock boot carpet would have to be cut to fit the above type.

or perhaps something that keeps the stock carpet, but mounts over the carpet.

i have quite a bit of time on my hands at the mo.

If i can get a idea of what you guys would want, i can get a move on and make a prototype.

and then apply for a traders license on here.

thanks

Simon:p

me and my bro made this setup to fit the curves of his boot.

si

the only trouble of making smaller boxes for subs is the with the air volume of the boxes, if you get the incorrect air volume you will end up decreasing the bandwith of the sub and could end up making your 12 inchers sounding like 8 inchers.

It all depends what your after really

nice examples tho!!!

not really, depends on the output in power as per size of the sub

id be interested in a stealth box to cater for a single 10 or 12 or perhaps some 6*9's

the box would have to be light in weight ish

i.e. the top picture

Would it not be possible to fit a couple of 8" subs either side behind the rear passenger panels, did this on my old s14 and it worked really well.

When the guys on supraforums tried this they could not fit the 12". But they were making specifically so the targa top still fitted in the boot.

I'd be keen for a single 10.

Designing the sub box so you could still fit the aerotop and also not get in the way of a rear strut brace (if fitted) would be a good idea.

Obviously if you increase the size and power of a sub it will sound louder, but if it is not housed properly it will not perform to its full potential and punch the bass out as well as it should be with the lower bass notes

to fit around a rear strut brace would be a bit of a problem.not a ideal location for that

i'd be intrested in one looking for either a 12 or 10x2 or 8x2 , been looking to get a sub for a while but don't want to lose too much boot space

I'll drink to that, check out my garage, I've been working on a full boot install. It needs carpeting and I'm thinking of upgrading the subs & amps to make it look better

how much are you looking for? and how long to make one for an alpine 10" sub?

where you find this thread from imi? lol

check the ice technical forum for details,

one is going out wednesday, then i start on mic's,

and which alpine sub have you got? there are a lot of clearence issues, with the tight space
