Let's see your custom speaker boxes! - Page 5 - Car Audio - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Here's mine. I've finished making the box, but not got the money to buy a sub and amp yet.

I'm gonna put a single Alpine 10" Type-R in there, not too fussed about having massive bass, just enough to add some low notes.

The sub is mounted below the perspex screen and the inside of the box will be lit up by some sort of red light, to match the red cooling fans.

ScrapMaker · 09-01-2005, 03:40 PM

uh oh! design flaw!!! looks like you built this so you can lay your t-top bag over it... only problem is that will directly block those cooling fans!

try putting some spacers around the fan holes to lift the bag up enough to allow airflow.

otherwise... that's one hell of a box

i'm seeing some pretty nice set ups. Well here's the set up I built before it was all stolen. *******s. took me a lot of time sweating in the heat. like 2 hours here and there for 2 weeks.

It was awsome. enjoy

jack_sparrow · 09-01-2005, 04:29 PM

Crazy, I love the contrast of your setup.... but it was crying, "steal me! steal me!"

maybe next time make it a cherry-colored, or black box?

crazy3rdgen · 09-02-2005, 10:30 AM

Yeah i tried to tie in the color of my paint with it, and actually in person it was an eye catcher. Night pics are weird. everything was cut as 1 peice so it all fit together. Like the front was 1 peice, the top was 1 peice, and the back was 1 peice. It took me awhile to get everything to line up customly flush. Heres a pic to show, i kinda miss it but it was going to weigh me down a good bit.

ScrapMaker · 09-02-2005, 10:46 AM

nice... so what do you have now?

crazy3rdgen · 09-02-2005, 10:54 AM

a busted door, no headunit, no center console, no subs, 1 t-top messed up, no lock in the door, a broken window which i just replaced. it sucks bad man. I planned to sell those 2 15's and get 1 12" L7 ported in the back with a kx600.1. guess its not happening know tho ya kno. it sucks so baddddddddddd

SweetRide45 · 09-02-2005, 11:07 AM

Damn dude...that's gotta be stomach turning! Ppl have NO respect for another person's things. Buncha haters and broke @$$ fuks out there man...Gotta watch it at all times and always hide your setup if you can. Don't go in messed up neighborhoods or around ppl that look suspicious either. Also, might be someone you know! Good luck on the new stuff!

ScrapMaker · 09-02-2005, 11:12 AM

sounds like you parked your car near new orleans.

Vibrant_Camaro · 09-05-2005, 01:18 AM

well, my box isnt in my car yet, im waiting to save up for a good amp. But i fiberglassed my box and painted the same color my car will soon be. There will be 3 audiobahn 10s going in here.

pretty much, i just wanted to show off my hard work and the color of my car.. lol

crazy3rdgen · 09-05-2005, 11:48 AM

yea vibrant i kno how that is. You need feedback from people to give you motivation to keep you going lol.. that color is wicked. awsome.

ScrapMaker · 09-05-2005, 12:36 PM

If my car had paint like that, I'd be hittin' the ladies off left and right!

good luck on that!

Vibrant_Camaro · 09-05-2005, 12:49 PM

lol thanks.

It also changes to an orangish goldish color. Im just waiting for my car to get in the shop to get everything shaved and then it will get painted.

ScrapMaker · 09-05-2005, 01:29 PM

pearl, eh?

Vibrant_Camaro · 09-05-2005, 03:54 PM

yeah its from PPG's vibrance line, new stuff that just came out recently. (hence the name Vibrant_camaro)

Here is another pic with some different colors.

curtis84ta · 09-05-2005, 04:35 PM

heres mine did it quickly in 1 weekend just so thats its in the car...love to have tunes while driving.

Siwir · 09-05-2005, 05:34 PM

Here some pics of mine 2 x 10'' sub. I'd like to keep as much free space as possible for long trips

Not finished yet, but just idea for F-body audio builders. Some more photos soon - right now engine rebuild in progress..., so car audio needs to be postpone.

wow, that is genius

ScrapMaker · 09-06-2005, 10:06 AM

vibrant, how much is paint like that per gallon?? it's amazing!

siwir... amazing, I didn't know you could remove the glovebox side very easily...

pretty small airspace, but I'm curious how they sound...

looks sweet no matter what

thats nice... i was thinking of sumthing like that.... really clean...

im prolly gunna end up doing a FG set up that hides the subs... my car got broken into as some of u know so the next set up will be hidden very well

Vibrant_Camaro · 09-06-2005, 03:08 PM

It is a 3-stage paint job, and the color that goes down first is $964 a gallon and the next color is $308 a gallon.

Siwir · 09-06-2005, 03:40 PM

I’m very glad that you like it. BTW: It’s not finish yet. All plastic pieces will be covered by yellow leather soon I hope $$$

ScrapMaker: Well it was not easy to put the sub in place. I’ve spend lots of time on details; however I'm very glad to obtain the goal. The subs are very easy removable (under them there is place for amps, tools, etc). The airspace so not so big, but with close hatch bass effect is amazing! The only problem is that I had to change the phases of one sub in order to get rid of "silent wave" effect due subs position against each other.
Saigon_Bob: When the Haich is closed subs are almost unvisible that’s another advantage

oof, how much is all this gonna take you back?

Vibrant_Camaro · 09-07-2005, 02:48 PM

Well, the paint was a lil over $1,000 for my car, Im hoping i have enough, because well i wont beable to get anymore of it. My boyfriend works at a paint store, and got me down to the very last drop of it. and well, i didnt have to pay $1,000, i got it fairly cheap.

ScrapMaker · 09-07-2005, 05:52 PM

too lucky!

what about bodywork or other labor?
