Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!
here are some speaker locations... in order from STRONGEST to WEAKEST bass... (using same speaker/amp/box volume)
1. Rear-Firing Well Box
2. Down-Firing Well Box
3. Glass-Reflecting Well Box
4. Rear-Firing Hatch Box
5. Down-Firing Hatch Box
6. Glass-Reflecting Hatch Box
7. Forward-Facing Hatch Box
8. Back-Seat Box of any kind...
you can easily test this with a small truck box that fits in the well... I moved it all around and tested the sound...
cleanest and deepest bass was rear-firing well

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!
I got a pioneer shallow mount box and cut back out to fit a regular 12in sub and boxed the back in.Its big enough to hold my amp and Cd changer.Will be getting a better sub(Dual for mock up and getting system working)and adding a small amp to run 6x9s in hatch area

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!
This is my setup. Two MTX 12" subs were given to me; I found out one was blown. I remembered when I was younger, I had some Pioneer box speakers in my S-10 that had a 6" woofer and a slave 6". So, I went ahead and removed the magnet structure from the blown one, and made it a slave! The box is rather small (around .75) and fiberglass insulated for volume, but the slave moves opposite the powered speaker and makes it hit pretty good. I listen to rock and hard rock and you can feel the bass in your stomach, but most of it stays in the car.
I have a 400w Pioneer amp in mono powering this monstrosity!

Clean, Simple, and Loud! Built it around 7 years ago and recently re-installed it when I bought the car back after 5 years of missing it.

I just did a simple single 8" set-up for mine. Sits in just the lower part of the well area.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!
The front and rear speaker pairs are each powered by an Alpine 3522 40w x 2 amp. The sub is powered by the 100w Zapco mono sub amp.
I switched to this set-up for a couple reasons:
1. The 6 x 30w A/D/S amp I was originally going to run everything from (4 x 30w and 1 x 90w bridged) didn't put out the sound level I was looking for.
2. I thought it would actually be much cooler to run an all period correct Alpine system if I could. These old Alpines are really great sounding and put out very decent power for their rated size. I may swap out the Zapco to an Alpine amp at some point as well.
