Some nice setups !!

Just built me a new 10"x2 box, other blasted apart, and relocated amp into spare tire area so its hidden from thief's! Gives me a lil bit more time to wake up and run outside with the slugger.

Bought a duel 10" box for the camaro when I got my first one. Put some explodes in there, and they exploded the bottom off the 1" mdf box :/ @ 1/2 amp power.




Made a new one with 3/4" FiberBoard, liquidnails, and pinchnailed.
Also moved the amp to its new home, spare tire well !


Some carpet is coming soon, wanted to make sure it held its own, and i stained it before ghetto spraying it to prevent the element from damaging it in the future.

 

Looking good! Did you build something for your amp to sit on in the spare tire area, or is it just sitting in there? I was thinking about building some sort of amp rack to put back there to hide my amp and cap, I was lust looking for some ideas.

 

I just used the spare tire mount, cocked it to the side a little bit, drilled 4 holes and it fit perfectly. I sanded a nice area under the amp down to bare shiny metal, slapped my ground there.

Amp does not shake, move at all !
ill go snap a finished pic really quick.


You could probably take a piece of 1/2 3/4" wood and make a shelf there or something, plenty of room, and that spare tire rack is hella strong.

 

 

I like the way it turned out. I really want to look into putting my amp in the spare tire area as I like the clean look with just the subs and box. My amp and cap and cd changer are all mounted on the hump right behind the back seat I think the pictures are somewhere in this thread lol. Thanks for the pictures I think I am going to look into running mine like that!

 

Np I love the clean look as well
Plus i dont got kids eyeballing my trunk stuff now

 

Yeah I thought about doing a "false" floor in mine. But that still doesnt take the amp and cap off the hump it just hides it a little better then leaving it in the open. Mine looks just like that without the false floor installed, to do something like that all I would need to do is add the piece of MDF to cover it.

 

Yeah a false floor would be the same thing all the wiring would be run underneath and the amp and cap and whatever else would sit inside and have the "flush" look. I would worry about my amp getting too hot with that restricting air flow. I also thought about that while entertaining the spare tire area as well. I think you've seen mine, its somewhere in this thread but I want to go a little cleaner look tho, clean off the hump area.


This is what mine looks as it sits now. I upgraded my amp and subs from the kenwood amp and sony subs to this MTW 801D amp and Kicker CVR subs...

 

Im all about ppl not seeing my stuff, unless I want them to see it
Some of you guys got some nice setups, but are you not afraid to walk out and see your car beat in and your **** jacked ?

 

Yea mine can not be seen from the outside unless I open my hatch. The tint on the hatch is dark and no one can see in. But I know what you mean about waking up and seeing your car all messed up. Here is what I found last sunday morning...Funny you say seeing your car jacked up...

 

Some kids thought this was "fun". I was away from my car for like 30 minutes to come back and find this...I am going to court tomarrow to see if I can get payment. They did about $1000 worth of damge to the windshield pinch welds and A frame pilar there. I havent had the car since last Sunday but I should hopfully be getting it back tomarrow I just talked to the bodyshop guys.

 

The story is they stole a shovel from a backyard and went around smashing windows. The dumb kids actually got caught red handed doing it to another car. I actually have court tomarrow so if I dont get paid you better believe I will handle things my own way. I will get their names and addresses tomarrow as well. But yeah $1000 for a new windshield and a lot of sheet metal work, trim pieces and paint around the window and A pillars...

 

Dude this is why im paranoid this was my first 2nd gen

 

 

 

Make a long story short, went home on leave from the US navy, my car was parked here @ NAS lemoore, I came back my car was gone, got towed without my knowledge, then i find out its like this and they want 4 grand to get it out of the impound wtf ? should have just put a gun to the fools head and got it back.

 

I had did a police report for my car, they came out, the kids even dropped an Id right by my car from the local high school, I sat for hours waiting for these pigs, and they ended up doing jack ****. But there gonna bust ole boy cuz his exhaust is to loud. One day ppl will stand up and not put up with these lazy *** cops anymore. Not even one finger print was lifted off my car even thou no one touched it besides the kids and you can see prints everywhere.

 

I took the ID down the police station and explained everything and there just like you could have planted that there, im like yea how the *** am i gonna get a high school id when im 24 @ the time.

They pretty much ****ed me.
ever since then i make random trips outside to peep the scene and if i ever find anyone fuking with a car, ill be sure to break both arms and beat him/her senseless with his broken limbs.

 

I agree with you man, if I found out who was ****ing with my car/cars I'd take care of there car house and then them. No one has bothered to mess with me at all because they no Im a psycho and probably would do something like that....lol

I really hope if never happens just cause of the headaches of fixing it

 

hey rough, cn you fix the layout of your pics, they're layed out righ next to each other making the post huge

thx bud

 

my bad about the pics, always forget im sitting on a huge lcd :/

 

Hope there fix for ya

 

Anyone have a diagram and some measurments for these boxes? I can't find anything through a search and would greatly appreciate any help with this.
Thanks

 

I don't feel like taking pictures, but I took the old box out of my Aunt's 4th gen, because her car is getting fully restored and updated with a brand new system. So I need to cut the edges to fit with the plastic, and it's just a tad bit different. It has 2 10's though.

 

here is my custom fiberglass sub box with molded chevy bowtie in between the middle of the subs and amp rack with 2 10" memphis subs and memphis belle amp.

 

Keep it goin folks, post up your hot systems.

 

my 2 fosgate 15s in the back of my bird

 

Does any of you who have built your own box have the Dimensions needed to make it and the internal airspace needed, im thinking of either doing 1 Rockford T1, or 2 P3's all fiberglassed aswell as the amp rack

 

Finally got some pics of mine!
It is made for 4 subs but i only keep two in since it is known to shatter the rear window with all 4 installed.

 

a better one of the subs themselves

 

that is the cleanest setup i have ever seen, i really like the plexiglass.

 

some pix would be nice, i have a 10" solo x im trying to fabricate into there and keep drawing blanks

 

Box size depends on the space requirements of your subs. It should be made to match not just go with a generic box. There is a sticky at the top of the section about building a box for the back.

Shot of my door buildouts.....

 

here is mine mdf box for two kicker comp vr 12 and one kicker l7 12

 

Here are some various states of my last setup (all various forms of 12's), started with JL Audio W0's, then went to JL Audio W3's, then Kicker L7's (the originals when they were black, before L5's came out). Haven't had another setup in an F-Body yet since then:

 

RAMAIRZ how were the kickers in comparison ti the W3's??

 

I loved them. The W3's were crisp, hit hard but not near as hard as the L7's did. Both were good, but now I think I would choose W3's seeing as I'm a little older now and the "hit hard" stuff isn't as important to me anymore. The W3's were real clean through most of the frequency range. The L7's were too but "deeper". I'll tell ya a pair of subs I LOVED were Rockford Fosgate P2's (couple years ago, not the newer ones). I ran 2 12's under the rear seat of my truck, they were perfect fit for that thing. Mainly due to space. I'm thinking of running a single W3 (or something similar) in my 86' just haven't decided how I'd do it yet.

 

Nice clean custom buildouts.

 

alot like my buildouts. im going to be removing the grilles and black piece and be covering it in black fabric, or oem tan if i can find it.



behind the sail panels:



forgot pics of the 6 speakers under the dashpad. ill have some soon since i have to fix the rattle in there

 

 

not an exspesive setup at all got bored one day and threw it in

 

How do you like 6x9s in the rear like that? I can't get rid of my sail panel rattle no matter how much sound deadening I do.. so i thought about a setup similar to that for my rear fill except for only using 2 6x9s

 

not really a sub box but... lol
not much and nowhere near finished but yep! heres a pic of my current setup for the backstage! 2 15" BEYMAS and a Menace Audio 300 RMS compression horn!

still to add
2 6.5" beyma bullet coned mid ranges
2 4" boss tweeters
(for back sails)

undecided of what to put up front!
any suggestions!

 

well i didnt do much dampaning but the 6x9's are still in the panels, um oh by the way every speaker in my car is "bass blocked" at 350hz the bass is all in the subs, the 6x8s are great right there but i wish they were faced a bit more tword people, the hifonics have 50rms on each it gets decently loud could be much louder with a bigger amp....hope that awnsered it......oh also my car has just about 0 rattles i dont use dynomat i use capet padding and liquid nails im not much of a racer so i could car less on weight but i really like the carpet method might try that

 

are those the t top tie downs mounted to the box, if so how to they work i want to build a high top box for my two twelve inch ***** and would need to do something like that

 

Here is the one i built for my 86 IROC. 2 12" cerwin vegas, 2 cerwin vega amps, stinger cap

 

this was a few years ago and i sold that car for a 89 iroc convertible
