Thumbs up for the effort! Came out really nice. As a professional I would suggest putting your sub under rear windshield, in a sedan like yours it gives the best sound, in a sealed box not free air of course. And protruding sub in trunk is an always matter of time of when this speaker will be damaged by a bag or something else carelessly thrown in a trunk, put a grill asap. Next time try to angle the sub in a trunk such way, that it don’t gets easily in a way of luggage and try making it not retract from the box it is in. An some inner cage would benefit on sound also, on higher volumes especially. Great work
At first I was like but what about the electrics and stuff but then I was like Wow! Great Job there and you didn't have to sand it and paint it for 10 hours. Now this box I can make. Thx man 👍
looks awesome!! do you have a material list or a brief step by step? I upgraded car but downgraded boot space so willing to DIY similar to yours. thanks
very nice and if u can tell pls which type of fiber did u use back than i would like to know... i have no clue on fibers types and which type is best for woofers enclosures and speakers thank u
question is, by the way excellent job, how did it sound?? Reason I ask cause I had two 12" boxes and positioned them like that in video and sound inside cab was horrible. It was almost like no subwoofer was added, only made car rattle but no actual bass tones in cab. Your thoughts???
When i was doing fiberglass we used johnsons paste wax (yellow can)... you can find it at walmart with the furniture polish... if you apply it right you can release from the mold with nothing more than an air sprayer and it pops out like an ice cube from a tray
this is a realy nice build. it looks great and the trunk is still functional. however, I've heard people say that fibreglass is not good to make sub enclosures with because it flexes too much and screws up the sound of the woofer. but is this true? and if so, is there anything you can do to strengthen it? could you just make a wooden frame on the inside(if you reduce that from the airspace) or would that affect the sound as well?
How many layers of Fiberglass did you put on? Seems way to thin IMO. I got a fireglass setup for a 12TW3 & we have like 3-4 layers of fiberglass to make sure its good and strong.
Don't worry that glass didn't last long at all. That sub jumped right the fuck out lol. If I can see Fucking daylight through it, its not enough at all. I could see his damn lawn through it. Even with the filler on
I know this is old..but in case anyone else wondering, can always calculate the volume of odd shapes/places like this using packin peanut or somethin similar. fill the area in question, then make something like the graduated cylinder from science class but w/scrap cardboard boxes, make it real easy on yourself and do 1'*1'*X' where X= anything more than the volume could possibly be. just make sure not to pack the peanuts(or whatever media you use to calculate)denser in the space or measuring box so it's as similar space between,givin as accurate a measurement as possible. obviously this won't be exact but shapes like that part of the trunk you'd have to be a geometry wizard to figure out how to calculate. that or make the shape like they did, then see how much water it displaced in a large tote, but that would be much more time consuming and expensive for pretty similar results.
you shoulda burped the box for us.. How is the sound quality? what frequency did the box tune into? i want to do this exact style build to my '02Protege5..I want to tip and turn the subs 45degrees up and in..so they sit much like yours and fire up into the center (literally) of the passenger cabin. i want to build boxes on both sides that exactly mirror each other. great vid. thanks for showimg your work!
nice but how do u determine what cubic ft u need, or did u just not even bother with that, also how does it sound, u did all that work and we don't get to hear it
There is always going to be those guys that critique your work. I say it looks great, and as long as youve pounded that sub and your not hearing any rattling or unwanted noice from the speaker box, then you accomplished what you wanted and I'm sure even if it was under the airspace required, still sounds better than stock, and you have your entire trunk for storage still. Congrats I think it looks great, will that box fit a 9th gen accord?
@@BurningDownUrHouse Poly Fill sucks, go with pink fiberglass, yeh it isn't nice but it's worth it ALL DAY. There are also limitations to what you can achieve by stuffing a box before it dies completely.
so many know it alls here. I've been into car stereos so long that I'm no longer into them. all these doofs saying where's the port. why's it sealed? do your homework people. it's not all about chattering your fillings loose with beats. buddy probly just wanted a nice blend of everything. ever heard of an audiophile system? and a sealed enclosure will always sound tighter and better.
I know I'm a few years later with this but... It's just Fiber Glass Matting with Resin + Hardener Then Bondo and rubbed down... Just thought I'd reply even though you probably made this and sold the car by now... 🙈😆🤣🤣
Nice way to do the enclosure, hope you made that shit ALOT thicker with a friggin W7 in that box. Since it is butted into the car the cars body probably helps with box flex but still that shit was thin, especially for a high output sub like the W7
