Need to know what your honest opinion is. I just went out and got 3/4" MDF wood to build a box for my ROC. Already cut the main top piece and i must say i did a good job for my first try, Any way plans for it are a 10" Sony explod sub and a Sony Explod 760 Watt amp. My EQ has subwoofer outputs on it so im gonna use those and keep the rest of the system as is fronts and rear sails as mids and highs. Should this work ok. Im not looking to win any compititions just for a little more bass then what the normal speakers can handle. Any input appreciated good or bad. Thanx.

 

So you set the subs up with a plate? that will give you more bass than what you have right now but if you are going to take up the back area anyways, why not just make the whole box? It will sound much better with a box.

Yeah, am in the process of building the box, just had time to do the top. I will build the rest of it later, im just hoping that after everything is done it sounds good. I also need to know what size should i make the port hole.

 

I'm not a fan at all of sony stuff, especially their speakers. For the money you can do much better. That being said, if you already own it, you might as well make it sound as good as it can. Talk to Sony about what size port to use. They'll be able to give you the best advice. The port size/volume will determine what frequency it's tuned to, and this needs to be paired closely with the proper box size. When building a ported box, it's important to use the proper box size. If you aren't able to provide the proper size box for a ported enclosure, I'd strongly suggest going with sealed. Sealed boxes take up less space, and are more forgiving if they're a little too big or too small. The 10" sub should work well in a sealed enclosure around 1-1.25 cubic feet or so.

 

dam-it, dam-it, dam-it!!! Just venting, didnt realize how much work it was to build a box. I should of just bought one for the car, but nooooo, im a freakin idiot thinkin i could do this!!! The only thing ive done right so far was the top part of the box and hole in the box. Everything on the bottom is just coming out wrong!!! well anyway enough for venting!!!im done playin with this sucker for tonight.

 

your second box is always like 50x better than the first one.. we've all been there dont give up on it tho, you're saving soo much money by doing it yourself.

 

Naw, i refuse to give up, that would only mean i would have to spend more money to get it put in. And yeah my next one will probably be better, always learn from mistakes we make on the first ones, well most of us learn from our mistakes anyway. My brother wants me to make him a box as well, he must of not of heard all the cussin I was doin earlier

 

you can do it!!

 

Well thanks for the vote of confidence, i just hope after i get this box made, it will at least sound somewhat decent. Its gotta be better then the bass my 6X9s try to create.

 

measure twice, cut once....a wise man always said.

 

Yeah, i kinda learnt that the hard way.

Try this, its prolly much simpler than what your trying to do...

 

Are you dawing plans so you know what size everthing needs to be. It's alot easer to cut a peaice of wood when you know the right size, instead of cutting a peice, test fitting, cutting some more, test fitting, ect.....

 

Yep, i took plenty of measurements after the first box i made didnt fit. The top was perfect, but in my race for glory i forgot about that freakin angle in the hatch. But, i guess we all live and learn. I made the new box and tested the fit when finished and it fit in there perfectly! Now all i have to do is cut out the spot for my CD changer and find a good spot for my amps.

 

I would have done it that way, but i need to keep my t-top hold downs functional., but thanks for the suggestion though, i do appreciate it. By the way, is that a pretty good amp, it happens to be the same exact one i bought.
