be honest with me ... cause i m on a tight budget .... can i take like a piece of plywood cut to 12 in wholes in it , cut it to fit in the well and mount the subs in there or will it sound like crap like i think it will ..... and if it does and i do have to make a box will half in plywood do the job or particle board wich ever one doesnt have like wood chips making it up

BTW that is some funny stuff where the sword dude gets shot

1 sheet of MDF, some liquid nails, and a box of screws is all I needed to build mine, plus the carpeting. Less the carpeting my cost was under $35 I believe.

what should i use to seal the box on the iside?

also i have a square 12" l5 sub how would i make the top plate cutout for the sub? and anyone have any ideas about porting it like what size ports or anything?

spartyon · 08-25-2006, 04:37 PM

I have a pdf file of the dimensions and everything involved that a member posted a while back. He used to have a website and made these for us at tgo. PM me if you want it.

redhotl1 · 08-29-2006, 11:54 PM

does anybody have sizes for a pair of 10`s

Ironmahn · 09-19-2006, 10:53 AM

Kevs87Z28, How much does that box weight?

Lu GZ · 10-24-2006, 01:28 AM

Someone did it. THANKS!

87BaseFirebird · 11-20-2006, 12:27 PM

i have 2 12's and am looking for a box that still holds my t-tops safely. What do you guys recomend. Please include pics if at all possible.

jpk91rs · 11-25-2006, 06:22 PM

In my opinion, you need to go ported to go really low. It requires less power and will get lower. My 10" L7 Solobaric is in a ProBox SuperBass rectangular ported enclosure with 1100 RMS and it will make your hair move. It fits perfectly into the well in the back of my 91 RS. The amp is a Memphis Bell. I have the baby bell in my 00 RamAir TA on a ported 8" L7.

SmokeDiver85T/A · 12-06-2006, 05:34 PM

Maybe this will work.

I hope that helps some ppl. Sorry about the watermark, but it gets the point across. The front and back as well as the sides will still need a few more cuts, but this shows the basic pieces from one 4 x 8 sheet. Not perfect but I used the diminsions from the post at the top of the thread. The piece labled "slant" is not neccessary, it will be made when one of the front/back pieces is cut to make the slant shown in the original post.

Emails are getting rediculous for me now about that pdf file. I found that post where I got it so the rest of you looking for the pdf dimensions here it is:

Bill/T/D/Y · 12-22-2006, 12:59 PM

Anyone have the specs like Spartan posted for an enclosure in the sparetire area and/or the storage compartment?
Maybe someone can gather up all these desighns and specs PDF's and such and make a tech page??Cut down on the threds covering the same info.

Bullydawg · 02-28-2007, 06:36 PM

Sweet. Just a quick ?, Could I just cut the top peice and then put it on and seal it? So I wouldn't have to do then rest, and only need one peice?

Jrad69 · 03-09-2007, 10:11 PM

hey man are those dimension for cutting or just the layout its self if so if im using a 1/8 in ch blade should i just take an 1/8th inch off?? post again thnx

jaimegmr · 03-17-2007, 01:17 AM

Here's my version of a design presented by Steve "White_Rascal" at the FBodyAudio.com forums It is 1 cubic foot and it will fit one or two 10" subs. Maybe you can even squeeze in a 12" but I don't know. I put in a 10" Alpine Type R SWR-1042D sub.

The first attachment is a GIF image of my version at actual size if printed at 150dpi.

The second attachment is the drawing by Steve "White_Rascal".

Heres some pics of the build process and the final product

spartyon,

Excellent job............thanks for the file.

Now....just have to buy a table saw and not tell the wife.

DubyaSsixTA · 03-25-2007, 06:55 PM

EDIT: For those who read my response, I do not make custom sub-boxes. Apparently some jackass made these comments when I was away from my computer at school.

iroc3o5 · 05-25-2007, 08:34 AM

i have just one 12" mtx sub, and i like these box ideas, especially the first box at the top of the thread. but i have one 12", not two. so how should i go about building my box? just cut out one hole instead of 2? i listen to rock, and i just want to take the bass off my infinity speakers, so i got a sub. i am not looking to shake the whole world with this sub, but i need it to take the bass off my speakers.

mellis09 · 07-11-2007, 01:47 PM

i recently bought 2 15" subs and was wondering if i could use these plans to make the box, but just cut the holes bigger... i love my new subs but a regular box is just plain old boring.... if not does anyone know where i can find plans for dual 15"s or even a place to buy them cheap... i have found a couple of website but none of them offer gray carpeting on the box, only black

VonDoering · 08-28-2007, 06:09 PM

I've only got and want...one sub in my trunk I'm thinking of just cutting those dimensions in half and making the top of the box fill the space...just for looks wouldn't want a speaker and deep well right next to it. Would it be just as easy as cutting the box in half dimension wise?

jessc50 · 09-10-2007, 02:05 PM

does anybody have dimensions fo the l7 solobaric speakers i got 2 12inch speakers

popballz · 10-23-2007, 08:30 PM

anything to consider when making a speaker box? things that will make it sound better? or stuff NOT to do?

jaimegmr · 10-23-2007, 08:38 PM

Visualize how the pieces of the box will go together and then measure at least two times before you cut something. Take the width of the table saw blade into account after every cut so you wont end up with short pieces at the end.

popballz · 10-23-2007, 09:22 PM

but will anything that i do affect the sound?

You are AWESOME for posting this.

Brisk mentioned he used this file for his setup, but had to adjust on some of the dimensions. Boy, he was right.

For anyone wanting to do this setup + a false floor going to the back seat, give me about 24 hours and I'll post up pics/specs of the setup I am doing that uses this design, but actually fits... haha

the phoenix · 11-28-2007, 09:37 PM

Ok... a little longer than 24 hours, but here goes...

A - Top measure 39 1/2"
Bottom 26 1/8"
Outside indented cuts 9" x 5 3/8" on driver side and 9" x 7 7/8" on pass

B - 26 1/8" x 8 3/4"

C - Top measure 39 1/2"
Bottom 26 1/8"
Outside indented cuts 7 1/2" x 5 3/8" on driver side and 7 1/2" x 7 7/8" on pass
Center indented cut 7 1/2" x 15 1/4" (almost 100% positive this is centered at the top)

D, G - Outside 10 1/4"
Inside 8 3/4"
Bottom 8 3/4"
Top: Connect the outside and inside edges

E - 6 1/4" x 10 1/4"

H - 10 1/4" x 8 5/8"

F, I - Outside (I forgot this measurement) Measure to fit your box
Inside 10 1/4"
Bottom 8 1/2"
Top: Connect the outside and inside edges

J - 16 3/4" x 7 1/2"

K - 15 1/4" x 3"

L, M - 7 1/2" x 3"

False floor - Seat side 44"
Tails Side 42 1/2"
Width 34"

A couple of things to be aware of...

FIRST, ALL measurements may need adjusted for your car. But these are pretty exact to the pieces in my setup here: http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/ca...etup-look.html (Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK)

SECOND, the 16* angle shown in the PDF is dead on.

THIRD, you will have to add some kind of support braces for the false floor close to the seats.

FOURTH, I used 3/4" mdf for everything BUT the B and J panels. They are 1/2" in my setup. This affects the setup's measurements.

Any questions, feel free to ask. Happy building!
