Stuffing a sealed box with dacron will fool the sub into thinking that it is box that is 10% larger.. Have you run the sub specs through bassbox?

HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 29/03/10 12:43 AM Share Posted 29/03/10 12:43 AM It must be a complex design if you cannot calculate the volume yourself? RECTANGLE:- LENGHT X BREADTH X HEIGHT.TRIANGLE:- 1/2 BASE X HEIGHT X LENGTH.CYLINDER:- DIAM SQUARED X 0.79 X LENGHTDI have heard of people using foam beads (Bean bag beads)to calculate the volume of some boxes.. Once you have a known quantity. Eg: Filling 1tr Jug with beads and placing it in the box until it is full.. Deducting the remainder... Just an idea...

HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 29/03/10 08:12 AM Share Posted 29/03/10 08:12 AM (edited) We used to make a fron board to fit into the arched rear seat well...Then mount the box to it. I think that what you want could be done by any reputable audio installer... What box size did you come up with? I really need the Thiell specs to have a look on bass box... What rms are you planning on running through them? What amp? What impedence ?? I'll give my old boss (Audio Store) a call and see if he can send me some pics.....Send me the thiel parameters...I can only assumetht you have the 05C104 subs?????

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 12/04/10 07:59 AM Share Posted 12/04/10 07:59 AM Here's an idea, and one I'll be trying myself.Use a large plastic garbage bag. One that fits the wheelie bins.Put it in the boot space and fill it half full of expanding foam. Give it a while and push it into the boot cavity you will be using. Let it set and remove it. Shape it to size and fibregalss over the top. Use a sheet of MDF as the front face for mounting the speakers and presto. Or something along those lines.
