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

I bought a matching left and right side in grey carpet.

I was quoted that they were approx 30ltrs.

Ive had mine for nearly 12mnths and they are still going strong.

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

30 liters wont get you much. 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 :)

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.

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.

these boxes are VERY thin... 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!
