I said I wasn't going to do it, but... I need a little bump in the FD. I need some ideas for a subwoofer enclosure to house a single 10" or 8" that will not take up much trunk space. If anyone has pics, that would be great! Thanks.

I've designed alot of enclosures, what would you like as an enclosure( standard box, bandpass, maybe somethin to hold your sub and amp(show or hidden)).

Do a search for the DamonB subwoofer box. It was designed for a single 8 or 10 (can't remember) and fit perfectly below the rear shock tower brace.

Mine:
Custom made, about .8 CU feet of airspace. I need to make the box a little bigger, but I am thinking about taking the spair tire out (dont need it) and putting the sub there instead, because it currently take up ALL my storage space.
Its pushed so far out (towards rear) because the amp is quite large, and I didnt want to have it showing all the time, so its infront of the box.

Pictures of the rest of the car are below(sig).
Interior is turning black just have to do the peices behind the seats, and redo the driver side door!

The actual shape of the box doesn't matter, it's the internal volume. So you could have a box which covers the entire back of the seats, but only sticks out about 3"!!

I did the spare tire fiberglass box. It's really not that hard, do that.

Then where do I put my spare tire?

rxhaven7

The fiberglass box is a good idea and looks good painted or carpeted. i never got to do that though what all do you use?

I've been designing and building all kinds of custom speaker enclosures since I was 16. I just need a little inspiration and motivation to do this one.

if you go nuts, i'll have pics of 4-10s up in a day or two.... not that that will help much...

would you have two amps or just one?

Just one bridged @ 2 ohms

just build a long tall box that fits flush behind your divider. It will take almost no space. I have a JL 10W6 and Alpine 5 channel full system amp that I could sell you too. I used to install car audio and the shop guru told me that the 10w6 is the best choice for this application because it is a top of the line sub that requires very little enclosure volume.

I use a Q-Logic box for my 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch XLC, with an Alpine VM12 MRV-F505 amp mounted to the front of it. It nest nicely between the rear shock towers and against the strut brace.

DamonB has an enclosure kit... don't know what's going on with it anymore this post is kind of old.

I'm interested in building something around these thin subs by Blaupunkt:

2.25" mounting depth Yeah! Now getting a hold of these is going to be a problem, right now anyway. Blau isn't listing them on their site.

I've read a couple of people are using Infinity Basslinks and are quite happy with them.

bajaman, what Q-Logic box are you using? can you provide a link? Maybe a pic?

bajaman

Insane - here ya go! I got the box from BestBuy, of all places!

that box is taking up way too much space

bajaman

Yeah, I agree.....
But I want to keep my spare as is, and this was a pretty easy way to put a 12" in the car without doing a custom built special enclosure.

InsaneGideon

Cool. Can you launch the hatch off the car with that thing?
Thanks for the pics.

Yes and it screams... "Break the window and take me while my owner is enjoying a movie with his girlfriend"

bajaman

Yeah, it just hasn't happened yet, dammit! I fucked up the defroster grid when I took off the tint the previous owner had put on, and kinda WANT someone to break the back glass.....
Seriously, the nice thing about the way that is set up is it comes out pretty easily, I just take it out and take it inside my friends' house when I am in those....potentially hazardous areas.

And yeah, if I crank it up to "ghetto level" it will definitely move things, but that is not my style. I keep the amp turned down to where the sub just compliments the other 6 speakers nicely.
