1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 13y 8m 9d Posted 12/07/11 12:48 AM Share Posted 12/07/11 12:48 AM Hi,Just after peoples opinions on the fibreglass sub boxes that are sold on ebay, that go into either the left or right hand corner of the boot.I'll be getting a right hand side, as I've got the premium sound.Whats the volume of them, any limit on the sub's depth? Can anyone recommend a sub that suits the volme/style enclosure that'll work well?Tried emailing the guy that sells them on ebay but got no response.Overall, were you happy with it? better/worse than expected? much of an improvment over the factory sub?Thanks,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they might not be any good being completely made of fiberglass. Honestly I cant fault it. It suits my need perfectly, being able to run 2 x 12" subs and having complete access to the boot was exactly what I was after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure with 2 subs it will still be loud but no where near what it can do. Im currently building a box to go against the back seats and still getting 60-70 liters and still ported. And yes it is a 12" sub. Once its done I will show you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 13y 8m 9d Posted 19/07/11 07:17 AM Share Posted 19/07/11 07:17 AM Definitely be keen to see the box LazyBrennan. Do you have any drawings of it? Built for any particular sub, and whats it tuned for?Does it mean the carpet/trim on the underside of the parcel shelf needs removal?I wanted to build something that could be easily removed, and the factory sub left in place and reconnected without much fuss, in case I need the extra space when travelling etc.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 19/07/11 10:21 PM Share Posted 19/07/11 10:21 PM Im building for about 50 herts as I listen to metal and a bit of stuff with bass so had it in the middle. First time I have ever done it like this so its a gamble. The carpet is staying it as well. Its comes out about 100-150mm from where the floor drops. Will just slide in and out. Havnt got a drawing on the computer. It will be made in about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go buy a pot of fibreglass resin and coat the inside of the box till its about 2mm or so thicker.Done this to a mates, and the bass was so much tighter and dynamic it was clear the box was to flimsy!
