I hope this related to the subject, but how do you figure out the dimensions of the box if you know how many cubic feet is should be. For example, I need a sealed box that is .718 cubic feet to 1.63 cubic feet, or 2.064 for a ported box. Thanks.

 

Width X Hight X Depth = Airspace (if I remember right)

When you do the math, make sure to use inside measurements

 

That looks freaking thight, but hella hard to make

 

check this out... at the moment the amp rack is lower then you see because i took out the spare. the box is only about 3 inches deeper than the sub itself. the box fits between the wheel wells just like the type R's. and... the grill on the sub protects the sub itself.

 

this is EXACTLY what i was talking about. that looks SUPER cool, olive .. damn thats a sick box! I'm posting it for those who are lazy to view your profile. its such an excellent design, it deserves to be shown.

It would be kinda nice to have some sort of "How to..." for such a fiberglass enclosure

 

i like that setup digdat has going thats nice

 

I started building my new box today and plan on finishing probably tomorow night. I'm not sure yet if I should paint it, or put carpet.

Could someone confirm the equation to find the airspace.
As stated before, if I remember right it's:

Depth X Width X Height = Airspace

I feel like something is missing in there though

 

djdat i thought you had the subs in teh corners but you got a box. i got the same box i was wondering if you had an amp where did you put it in the trunk?

 

Looks like the girlfriend had something else planned for the night . I ain't done yet but I'll be working on it thusday.

So... should I paint, or should I carpet the freakin thing?

 

Currently, my subs are in a box (the other pic was a pic from HighestOlive's profile). I am going to get them into the corners when I have the cash to get custom boxes made but for now, its in the box. This is actually the same box I had in the rear of my Jeep Wrangler if you can imagine. I had my amp mounted to my back seat. See pic.

edit: amp and cap. wires are now hidden btw

 

I'm OFF tomorow So I'll have plenty of time to work on my box. I might be able to get you pics for friday (only if dady is nice enough to land me his digi cam ).

Those pics of course won't show a totaly finished box (carpet or paint will be missing.) But it will still give you a really good idea of what it will look like

BTW, that is a feakin huge amp

 

thanks digdat i have a similar box and needed a place to put my amp too.

 

I'm almost done Coaking is currently drying, so tonight I should be able to trow in my sub and test the box. I'm still debating on how I'll wire the whole thing though.

 

2/3 of the box is now in the trunk and pounding hard. That part contains the Sub and it's amp.

I went from a huge ported box to a small sealed one and the difference is amazing. I think usually you gain SPL with a ported box, but I'm pretty sure I gained going sealed.

The bass is a lot less sloppy as well. It its clean and hard.
I also took out my rear speakers. I wasn't using them anyway. So the holes kinda port the trunk.

Only part left to finish is the rack that will hold the components' amp.
