I'm planning on putting subs in my trunk soon, but with the notchback I'm not sure what type of box to get. Anyone with a Notchback that has pictures would be much appreciated.

 

from the interior shots Redraif posted of her new notchback, it appears that you should still have plenty of room to run any of the boxes that people have made around here, as long as they are no higher than the gas hump. since most of them around here are, you should have no problem with any designs you find around here. if you check out my sig, i have pics of my single 12" sub box. only takes up the bottom half of the well. and since i'm feeling like a nice guy, i'll post one of mine

 

Does anyone have two subs in the trunk??? How does that sound with one or two subs????

 

many people around here use a 2 sub setup. those boxes tend to be level with the gas tank. i still wanted to keep as much space as possible, so i went with one. i was originally going to get two, but after hearing this one on its own with a decent amount of power, i was more than happy with just this one. my suggestion would be to buy good equipment from the get-go. that way, if you buy one quality sub over two sub-par subs, you can always upgrade if you're not satisfied.

 

heres mine, well i didnt build it but still

 

Dosn't your car leak like that???

 

Timz, I used to have that box in my Mazda Protoge. Sounds good, huh. Well at least it does with some better speakers than come in the box from the store.

Check out page 2 of my site in the sig to see my box. I built it myself...

 

BTW, I used to have 1 sub in my car in a nother homemade box. I was running it with the same amp i'm running the current 2 off of. I thought it sounded good at first, but as soon as I made the box to accomidate 2 drivers, I love the way it sounds.

 

hey 2 point 8 boy, how do those MTX's sound anyways? My buddy used to have just 1 12 thunder 5000 in a bandpass and it pounded pretty hard. We couldnt get that thing to pop!

 

I can't use my inside rear veiw when the stereo is on. can barley use the side veiws, and I can set off my heighbors house alarm with them. Pretty damn good I say.

 

Well, since you asked... Im building a new one that is bout 3 inches taller and will house 2 Type-R subs run by a JBL 1200.1 Then my amp box will set level w/ the top of my sub box and the amp(s) will be mounted flush w/ fans and plexiglass...but ima long wayz away from that right now. Right now Im just trying to finish the box and get the second sub and the amp! But anywayz...pictures...

 

do u mean like water gettin in? if so then no becuz i try not to drive it in the rain or snow much and if i do its for at the most 10-20mins at a time. thats just to work and back home and under the car covers it goes. and at work our store is on the bottem deck of the mall and i park where theres an overhang type thing and when it rains i park with the front facein out to the opening.

yea i love this box and so far i love the speckers they have in there for now but im not in a rush to change them for something better. what i have now im happy, im not out to entertain anyone but me. and also at work i have the loudest system out of everyone there and this is at pepboys is where i work.

 

yeah, not doggin' the speakers that came in it originally. They sounded good. But wait until you get some really good ones. You'll wonder why you didn't get them a while ago. If you're happy, right on man. That's the reason I changed mine out. i wasn't happy with the way it sounded in my old car, so I bought the new ones. Then I sold that and got the camaro and just reused the old subs.

how did you do the fiberglass? That looks freakin' sweet and I would like to get something like that done for my ride just for the looks. Where do you get the materials? Better question...is there a tech article on it, I couldn't find one. Mine may sound pretty good now, but it looks like crap, plus it takesup a grip of room.

 

unfortunately i didn't really do anything by specs or instructions. I just got some knytex biaxial, cloth, and mat and just went to town. I didn't do it inside the car though, because at the time i had planned to put sound deadener down and didn't want to have no room for it if it was a direct fit. the top piece is 41"x13-5/8". I might be selling it, i dunno how i could ship it though. it's 1.2-1.25 cu/ft.

heres the setup out and messy.....needs to be tucked away
