FC : Sub enclosures ???
Hey Everyone,
just wondering what everyones doing for their sub boxes in their fc's? i can't use the storage boxes so i was looking for something that can be put in the spare tire well, post pics of what you got!! |
this is what i did. sounds badass everyone who sees it when i drive by comments on how badass it is.

good job ruining all your useable space with a huge box, 8" subs drop right into the shock towers, you dont need fullrange speakers in back it ruins imaging bouncing off the glass anyways
|
next
|
you might want to wrap so electrical tape around the exposed part of that ground wire... and you really don't need those midrange speakers. the sub will distorte their sound.
|
hmmm, i was thinking of something a liiiiitle more inconspicuous.

No rattles, sounds great, enough power for me. |
nice! dimensions?!
|
Nice!
|
Hmmm.......
The storage bins behind my seats made for a good spot for a pair of JL 8W6's.
|
I used one of the wells behind the seats of my vert to build a fiberglass enclosure for my Boston Pro 8. I did the same thing years ago with a JL 10Wsomethingoranother(don't remember which series), but it was just too much rattle from all the molding.
Both of those boxes fit underneath the rear deck cover. I'm trying to decide if the sound quality is good enough under the deck or not. I'd prefer to have the 8 in a box that fires directly into the cockpit of the car from between the two seats. But I'm getting old enough that a system in my car just isn't worth all the extra effort. |
i have a 10" right now and i doubt mine will fit in the storage bins without modification of the stock parts :( the opening of the bin is about the same length as the sub i have now . . . . decisions decisions . . .
|
The storage bin lid doesn't rattle at all. I haven't tested it in car yet(it's disassembled), but with my old set up the trim didn't rattle at all.
I use to have two mtx 8" subs in a box behind the hatch cover, but it was too big(can't use it with my strut bar now), too high up, and I didn't need that much power(had it turned down most the time). I only listen to metal or death metal, so one 200wrms 8" is plenty. |

Im planning on removing my storage bins and buildin a 12" alpine type r into each.. leaves me with usable trunk space and leaves room for rear tower bar

Bass frequencies are for the most part omni-directional (especially in an area as small as a vehicle cabin). There is no need to "bounce" them off the glass.

When I get home I'll post pics of the sub enclosures I made for my FC

Good info here guys. Do you think I can fit 2 JL 10w6's in each rear bin? I know for a fact that my JL 12w7's are overkill for the FC, and I don't have enough room for them.
Also, I like to bump every now and then, but not all the time. From the looks of it, I might be okay with just one 10" sub. |
I was gonna build mine upside down so it would be pounding into the bin givin it more space to work with rather than having the magnet in the bin.
|
i really like the look in the bin, i was thinking of trying this to keep the clean look of the back, dont want a sliding around box
|
If your going to put it in the bin. You will want to do what I did and cut the plastic (you can see it in the picture I posted) on the lid to relieve pressure and recarpet the top, or it WILL sound like crap with the lid closed.
