I want to rebuild it out of something more sturdy. Any comments/questions

 

yahoo cant find your site dude.

 

here it is

 

Looks clean. How well to the speakers in the rack perform? Is it better than in the b-pilar or about the same? Do they get muffled by the sub's?

 

looks good, but like all neons should be, hide your tube. and not too much of a fan of the 6x9s in the back, but overall the install looks very clean

 

I have a very similar setup to yours, except it's all one piece.

I have an 86 z28 camaro and i want to build a box for my subs that fits perfectly down in the whole area in the trunk. Does anyone have the dementions that i need to build it????

:hail:

 

why does nobody look at other posts or use the search button? this question (and answer) have come up in the last day already. come on now...

 

Might as well chalk it up. Hit up the local stereo shop and pick up a built box for $50-100 bucks. Saves time and the time and labor saved is worth the money. Around here, you can sometimes pick the enclosure up for around $50. I tried to build a new one for 15's, just went for one already built.

 

Really. I still can't figure out why this topic isn't a sticky at the top of the board. It seems like this question is asked every two to three days. Maybe we should just write a car audio FAQ for thirdgens? Then that could be made a sticky and we could beat people over the heads with it when they asked a question that had already been answered.

MaineIroc,
I will dig up the dimensions of my box and try and get them on my website tomorrow.

 

looks nice but i agree about the neon tube thing... hide it. but other than that looks nice but do you really hear those 6x9's in the back or do you have those plus the ones in your sail panel?

 

As soon as i got the car I took the 6X9's out of the factory location and put them in sealed boxes, but they dond sound to bad facing like they are.

Oh and where would you guys put the neon to hide it, I just couldnt find any better place at the time.

thanks for the feedback.

 

A couple ideas, but are too late probably lol.

1. If the rack was about 1 1/2" away from the back of the seat, you could mount in on the front of the rack.

2. Leave it where it is but make a "shade" for it, like a cover the length of the rack and have the tube mounted under that so it would glow and be somewhat reflected down the rack.

3. This one might look nasty, but if done right would glow nicely over the back and be somewhat hidden. Following the "shade" route, mount it where the hatch hinges above the back seat/amp rack. Make the "shade" like so. ~~> /\ Like a shoplight or billiard light shade.

If I think of anything else, I'll post it up.

 

Another option would be to just bring the neon tube down a little so that it was right on top of the amp. It might be a little less noticable while off and then be more of an accent for the amp as opposed to "just there".

 

I may see what I can do with it tomorrow since i get out of school early.

 

i think that those speakers in the amp rack ae pointless. looks very clean tho:hail:

 

Not when you're after SPL from the mids and highs. Besides, if I want to throw a party, I just have to open the hatch, instant jukebox.

 

lol. neer thougth about that. that would be good that way.

 

how big is the tube you might be able to do something back where the hatch motor is... i don't know if you wanna use the shade idea or not but if you have room back by the hatch motor just sqeeze it down in there or something...

 

I thought about mounting it on the hatch itself. You know where that plastic trim piece at the back of the hatch.

And about the 6X9's, you cant hear as much of the highs but you can hear more of the midrange frequencies. They sound alright overall.

 

Jus for kicks
