Here is the first completed order. I have 3 more to make. Which means I'll only accept 1 more order at the $84 price. Then the price will jump to $120. As you can see by the pics it fits like a glove. There are some drawbacks to this design though. It only has 2.12 cu.ft. of airspace, and the one shown here has a mounting depth of only 6.25". That's no big deal for a pair of 10's, but there are quite a few 12's that would require more mounting depth. I can always modify the design for more depth and airspace, it just wouldn't look quite as cool

One more shot of the overhead view.

 

That there is the box he custom made for me, and I've gotta say, it looks excellent. I'll be putting 2 Infinitiy Refrence 1200w 12" subs in there. I couldn't be more pleased with the work hes done for me. DO BUISNESS WITH THIS MAN! I'll post installed pics as soon as I get the box and put it in. I'll definitly be doing buisness with him in the future.

one question. how could u stand on ur bumper of ur camaro ?

 

Hey REZ,
That box looks great. I was about to e-mail a few days ago to see if you had any pics. Wish granted now.

I think I'll be sending you an PM or e-mail now with a few questions I still have.

 

exactly what i was thinking......

 

he must not weigh very much.... hey i wana get some free air subs, or somethin with a real nice basket, like audiobahn's newer stuff, i know u guys dont like them but all of them i have heard have been good, what would i need to do to that box to be able to do this. thanks, and the box looks nice, i might have to buy one from you


i almost forgot how much does that thing weigh... thanks

 

Shipping weight is 55 lbs.

Think again . My car is going to be parked for awhile as I convert it to a road race vehicle. A couple of scratches won't hurt my feelings.

Then you wouldn't need a box, just a plate.

It depends on which model. Some of them are too deep, I'd have to add an inch or so to the top, or invert the cones.

Let me know if anyone has anymore questions.....

 

How much for a box that can hold 4 10" subs??

 

You'll have to let me know what kind of 10's so I can figure internal volume required.

 

wow, everyone is throwing the questions at rezn8r.

Thats exactly the box i wanted for my 'bird if i didnt build my spare tire one. The old dual 12 I had was annoying because it didnt fit right, didnt lay flat, and looked ugly. Heres a pic.


I like the way these look because it becomes flush with the package shelf. Its a clean build, and its pretty good that someone will build with the specified requirements of the speaker, rather then sell the "one size fits all" deals. If I wasnt worried about weight I'd buy one. I give it two thumgs up!

 

i have 2 polk DX series 12's. i only know i little bit about setting up a system but i was going to try to build my own box. If you can build a box that would make these subs sound their best i would be glad to pay for it. The only thing is i want to keep the weight down as much as possible, thats why i was thinking about building a plate. give me some info rezn8r.

 

well, like he said .. the shipping wheigh of the box is 55 lbs. Roughly thats 50 lbs (minus the box and packaging material he might put into it).

Add the weight of the subs your going to get, plus an amp.

 

I could make a box that would let them sound their best, and I would be happy to sell it to you. It would weigh 50-54 lbs plus the subs. Here's an important question though. Why are you trying to save weight? Are you using your car for competition racing? 100 lbs of stereo equipment won't be very noticable in day to day driving. It's like having an 8 year old kid in the back seat but without the annoying whining. I wouldn't get a plate. That's like giving your car nitrous, but spraying half into the engine and half on the ground. It's not very efficient. If you really want to save weight and have a loud stereo there are a number of things (almost all expensive) you could do:

Run a single 5 or 6 channel amp for your whole system
Go to a single high quality 12 and feed more power to it
Use a fiberglass enclosure (which I could build too)

Those are just stereo related, but could save you close to 50 lbs over what your running now if you do a MDF plate or box with your 2 12's and an amp for them as well as an amp for your mids & highs.

 

Well, I guess that would depend on what you're playing on your radio. Some music I've heard people playing sounds worse then a whining 8 year old.

 

no, i don't plan on racing my car i just wanted to cut weight as much as i can (fiberglass hood, lighter wheels, etc.) i do realize it won't make much of a difference though. Are you still charging $80 and about how long would it take you to build it?

 

It's still $84 for right now. It would be ready to ship between Aug 26th & Sept. 2nd (1-2 weeks).

 

Where does the speaker wire enter the box....

 

This is the only place that doesn't touch the car when it's in:

 

Looks good..........

 

can you build me one that angles the speakers towards the front but not so much so were it would interfere w/ the t-tops? about 20 degrees

 

You've been PM-ed

 

i don't know how to do that private mess. thing. can you email me at CamaroEFI@AOL.com?

 

Can you put one 1" Type-R on the side that faces the back of the car, not on the top of the box?

 

Would there be a way to cut it in half? I know that that's asking a lot but maybe some people want some room back there. So if you cut it in half, you could have a single 12" box that would be really nice looking! Then you could throw grocery's on the other side, or a toolkit. Anyone else like this idea?

 

Few more questions....what kind of wood are you using (incase I decide to build my own instead ) and what's with all the holes in the top of the box? you sink your screws? I would love to have one of your boxes, but I need a woodshop project too....so...he'res the big question.....is there a way I could talk you into sending me a copy of your plans so I can use them to build mine at school? I'll keep them to myself if you want, don't matter to me, I just love the look of your boxes. I am going to modify it though, if thats alright, if I can even get your plans. thanx alot. Oh ya, they look great man, you got skillz.

 

Elevario: I'm not your typical pre-fab box builder. I consider myself a custom builder, so anything including cutting the box in half is possible. Just E-mail me for a price quote.

Disturb (and others): I didn't write down the dimensions for all of the pieces of the box. I planned on modifying the box per woofer, so there aren't any set dimensions. The boxes are made of 3/4" MDF unless 1" MDF is preferred. (or fiberglass, but that's a different story) And of course I countersink the screws.

 

All of the boxes I was selling at the introductory price are officially gone. Unless I already quoted you at the old price, the box shown above is $120 plus shipping.

 

What's your email? I need a box for 2 12" Infinity Reference subs. My email is mrbboy@attbi.com

Thanks

 

I thought you were designing a fiberglass box?

 

I was and still am, but so far there's been more interest in MDF boxes, so I haven't had time to finish the fiberglass one.

 

Here's a pic of the newest box for a 10W7. This time in grey carpet. It's not supposed to color match the grey in my car, it's for a customer with red interior. The right side of the well still has a nice 8x14x10 (approx.) space below for storing whatever.

 

I will definitely be contacting you once I actually GET a thirdgen again.

 

I got my box from RZN8R the other day. I gotta say, this box is NICE. Anyone contemplating whether your going to get one or not.... stop.... and just get one before this kind of craftsmanship is gone! I'll take more pics as soon as I have another car to slap the box into. Not gonna put it in the car I have right now, as theres nothing in it cept 2 seats :P And theres way to much rust to put my interior and stereo in. Gotta fight a war with rust, and its best done when I don't have hundreds of dollars of equipment and various interior items in there to destroy But I'll take pics of the box and the setup thats going into it and the car as soon as I can get my Digital Camera back from a friend, so look for them here in a day or so. Once again, I'm REALLY impressed with this box, from concept, to prebuild, to the final product.... RZN8R has been a pleasure to do buisness with, and the quality of his work SHOWS.

Will the fiberglass one be avail for a single sub to fit all the way down in the lower part of the trunk well, or possibly a stealthbox with modified drivers side panel ???

 

Yeah, bring on the fiberglass stealth boxes!!

REZN8R: So what did you decide on after your poll you had awhile back?

 

A stealthbox would be AWESOME. While the quality of rezn8r's MDF box is very nice, i am just unwilling to give up my trunk like that. But, I would be interested in a stealthbox that would somehow integrate with the interior and minimize the space loss.

I think that somehow, something could be done with the passenger side rear corner of the trunk area, combined with small space sub such as a JL 10W3v2 or 10W6, both of which require under 1 cubic ft...

 

Here's an 8" midbass "hanging around" in the approximate area where I think a semi-stealth box could be built. That little shelf in the right rear corner is next to useless for storage, so maybe an enclosure could be built there...

If the enclosure were too small, one of the dynaudio variovents (I think they are $25) could be used to make it act larger. I have a little 8W1 in a sealed enclosure somewhat too small for it, but the variovent takes care of that problem completely.

For anyone who doesn't know. a variovent is a resisitive "vent" that makes the box act larger than it really is. the concept only really applies to sealed enclosure systems.

That corner of the trunk might even be possible with MDF...

The other option would be a much larger stealbox to replace the entire plastic panel covering the spare tire, and get a 12" in there...

 

Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of the drivers side, that little cardboard lined pocket is useless, and i only need a .5 cu ft box

 

Thats what I orginally suggested during the poll (even added that option to the poll list). I know DJ made his own box on the drivers side for a 10W6. The pass side would be ok, but I'm not quite sure I wanna lose my spare tire.

 

well, maybe a box could be made on the pass. side where you could still keep the spare tire. the pass. side has that little ledge, which is just about useless, so maybe that area could be made into an enclosure? if the plastic cover that covers the spare tire were removed and a custom enclosure were made to cover that entire area (but leave the spare), you could probably get quite a large enclosure for maybe even a 12...

but a total stealth enclosure on the driver side would be awesome too

 

The stealth idea would be cool, but nobody seems to want to lose their spare tire or storage box. As for me, I have the battery in the storage box (where the box used to be), so drivers side isn't an option. According to the poll people wanted a well box. According to how many people have ordered a MDF well box, that still holds true. The only orders I've gotten for MDF Camaro boxes have been for the well. If I had things my way I'd have a fiberglass box with inverted cones above the gas tank. That way I'd have a spare tire and plenty of storage.

If someone wants to put a deposit down on a fiberglass stealth box, I'd be happy to create one!

That's a good idea about having a stealth box and the spare tire on the same side. I'll have to look into that.

 

How much will a well box for two JL Audio 12w0's, black carpet run me? How long would it take for me to have the box in hand? What payment methods do you accept?

Thanks, and looks like great work!

(Getting my car back ( :-D whee ) so I may be looking at getting my subs outta my lil' ghetto truck and installing a system in the 'bird. )

 

Cost is $120, should ship within 2 weeks. I accept Paypal, and money order.

Thanks for the compliments!

 

I guess I should have specified "built to specs" as far as internal air volume is concerned. I don't know if you charge more if built to specs or whatnot.

 

Okay, thanks, I shall be contacting you soon!

 

let us know about the spare tire and stealth box on the same side. i would be interested in that.

can you give some more details about the fiberglass box above the gas tank with inverted speakers? how does that work/how would that look?

 

It would look sort of like this, but lower and without the amp box in the middle. The subs would have the magnet side out of the box. Or it could be a box about this high without the amp box, and the subs would mount normally.

 

How much of a deposit on a stealthbox, I dont care which side it goes on as long as i can fit my spare tire, put a nitrous bottle in the well, and have 2 or 3 amps just behind the rear seat, and what will the final cost be if im putting a deposit on the first one ? I need it to be .5 cu. ft. and hold this up
