Well, I was looking at pre-made boxes (just a big rectangle kind) at Tweeter, and they want $150 for a non-ported one!! What's the difference compared to a Wal*Mart box or whatever for $50?

Both have:
3/4" MDF
Carpet of some nature
Gold plated terminals


So, why is Tweeter's so much more??

 

from what i kno....in speakers and subs...you get what you pay for...the more you spend the better it will sound..if you do it right

 

Yah, I know that, but when I compared these things side by side, I really can't figure out what could be cheaper besides the brand!

 

lol 150 for 2 12's sounds like walmart dont have your standards high for that kind of set up, pusssss

 

No... I said for the box.

 

oh duh my bad i read it to fast

150..? i didnt even pay more then 40$ for my set up for 2 15's...say some money and do it yourself , does this box sit in the hatch? like mine? in the sig?

 

I made one up for the hatch, but it isn't nearly enough cubic feet for my subs (the one I made has about 1' each sub, I need about 2')

It took me all weekend to make that box, and it still doesn't fit right!

1/2 way down the page is the box: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/474242

 

i kno what you mean ... so what does walmart have to offer with their CF?

 

Well, in the rectangluar boxes, they have some that are 1.5 and 2'. It would have to go in the back seat for now, till I can pay to have a good hatch one made.

According to the guy at Tweeter, a too small box can actually hurt the subs!

 

yes and no..... if the box is too small you will not get teh most outa your subs and they will be prone to distortion soon than if teh box was bigger. you will have less deep bass resonse too. though you will have very tight response

 

theres always somthing called pollyfill

 

how much does that help

 

not alot alot but it does change an obivious sound in your box, i'm sure you know this your just trying to get me to say something wrong so you can make me look like an idiot

 

ya got me.... actually the box i have is not the easiest thing to screw the subs into because of the hole size and sub size so if it would help a bit i would use the poly fill but if not much im no goin thru the trouble o taking me subs out

 

Well they said that a sealed box that is too small for the subs will cause them to move wrong or something like that, and can stress them. I can't really explain it, but you get what I mean!

 

go to any car audio shop... they will most likely have some and will probably give you a deal to get rid of it... maybe with some speakers too!

i find that boxes that fit our cars are easier found in the "shady" parts of town... well you figure it out..
