Re: Best Camaro Sub Box Ever

I think Al Hasse has one of the cleanest sub boxes ever. Might not be the loudest, but with a single 1000w RMS 12"..... It has to hit.

It started as a cheap bar light off ebay, just engraved perspex. I added the mirrors and the LEDs to it and it is wired to come on when the amp switches on. My amps are in the spare tire well.

Thank you for that. It hits when I get the urge, I'm driving it with 1100 watts RMS from the sub channel of the amp. It's set up as an SQ system and I normally play it at a comfortable volume to hold a conversation. I have on occasion lit up the third digit on my ammeter (over 100 amps) for well over 1000 watts. I've no idea what the dB level is as I haven't had it measured.

Re: Best Camaro Sub Box Ever

i have noticed alot of peaple just but down a thick piece of mdf and cut a hole and use the well as there box, thats just not right, the air space would be all wrong and it wouldnt resonate, so i built mine full box and all, it was a bitch to get her in though, had to pull the whole interior *** end apart including the rear latch and motor

Re: Best Camaro Sub Box Ever

Crappy cell phone pic but this is my set up. It's a sealed enclosure from sonic electronix and 2 hiphonics 12's the reason i have em flipped is because when i had em the other way the plastic piece on one of the subs rattles for some reason.

wired to 600 watts rms @ 4ohms

Re: Best Camaro Sub Box Ever

Heres what I did. One amp powers the 12" sub, the other amp powers the 6x9s. Got the ideas from this site Did alot of research into the proper air space for the sub, wire size, ohms etc. Being my first build audio wise, it was more than I had anticipated. Took me about 3 days just to figure the right measurements for the box and with the right airspace. SO im slow

Re: Best Camaro Sub Box Ever

This is my setup. The box starts at the rear seats and is about 4" deep at that point.
At the hatch it drops down to the first level and stops there.
I'm really wanting to change to a different box that will be recessed into the hatch,
so that I have room to store my t-tops in the factory locations. It sounds good though. Previous owner did the work.

Aren't they for 4th gen interiors? You might end up with gaps on the side.

That sub is not 1000w RMS. He says "1100 watt sub channel of a Memphis Belle amplifier." It is at least half that rating RMS. It is probably 450-500rms. 1000 RMS he would probably need to reinforce the whole hatch.

Thank you slow305rs. And BTW, that 1100 watts from the Memphis Big Belle amp is rated RMS at 1 ohm (the configuration I'm running). Also, the hatch area isn't air-tight enough to warrant any reinforcement, air is going to get out around the glass.

Granted, there's a bit of power there, but I rarely use it all. High power systems sound excellent at low volumes, too.

Took me about 3 days just to figure the right measurements for the box and with the right airspace. SO im slow



that is nice. If i ever get around to upgrading the sound system in my car thats exactly how i want mine to look so i dont lose ALL trunk space in my car.

That is just so nice. any sites you used to build that or tips?

A couple quick tips come to mind right away. Measure more than twice before you make your cuts. I actually drew it on paper first, then measured and measured and measured, which is probably the hardest part imho. Make sure, whatever sub you use, that you get the correct air space box wise made underneath the sub. I went with that rockford sub because it is a shallow mount and sounds absolutly perfect for my needs. Didnt really use any sites except this one as references. Couple of things I would of done differently. possibly add some sort of handle to lift the unit out when needed, and then I really should of used particle board instead of plywood. Live n Learn I guess

Did you carpet your trim, or did it come stock like that?

Lots of 3rd Gens came with carpeted panels, I believe its called a deluxe interior? Im sure im wrong, but it came in every color as far as I know. I had an 84Z that had charcoal with the carpeted panels as well.

I actually did that with a 12" MTX Thunder 4000 pushed by a RF Punch 100DSM and hit 135.5dB. Microphone on the windshield using and AUDIOSOURCE SPL meter.

I didn't just lay the wood back there, though. Basically, I cut a piece that formed with the rear wall and sat tight against the bottom of the well. I attached it to the car using sheet metal screws and liquid nails sealer. Then I put a ledge on the front wall of the well using a 1"x2" and attached it the same way. Of course the top of the ledges were level with the top "shelves" of the well.

Then I used liquid nails sealer to seal up every possible crack and screwed the plate to the wood ledges using drywall screws and sealing them with liquid nails construction adhesive. It weighed next to nothing and sounded very good.

I even ported it later on. That was after I hit 135.5 dB. I never had it tested after that, but it certainly hit harder.
