So I built the sub box
« on: July 18, 2004, 07:31:57 AM »
So, I finally got around to building a box for the sub that I scrounged off my brother... the big bad Wal-Mart 15". :)

Some pics:


Size comparison with a spray bottle of Armor-all:



This might belong in the water cooler... I dunno. :-/

Box only cost me $10 to build, so I'm happy with it :)

Nice job on the box , did you use 3/4 mdf? I just built my ported box but I took it out cause it didn't fit in the kick very well. I'll snap some photos later.

I think it looks great, now just needs some carpeting and your all set.  I want to get a pair of decent subs...but I'm afraid my alternator will not be able to handel it.

I was running a JBL 1200.1 and 2 kicker comp vr 12's in my tracker. It did fairly well you'd be suprised at what you can throw at that alternator. Right now I am running a PPI PCX 2125 amp and a Elemental Designs B2 12. It dims the lights pretty bad, but in the day its fine.

Yep, 3/4" MDF. :) It was going to be for a pair of 8"s that I have, which probably would've been overkill, but I nabbed this sub, and it worked out pretty good :)

I was actually thinking of going the bedliner route just for durability, and it'd match the rest of my Tracker pretty well. ;D

Not bad man, not bad! $10!! Thats great. Yeah, two eights might have been too much. Even those subs from Wal-Mart can pound alright, so I'd be happy. The best sounding stuff to me is cheap because you know that you didn't throw away a truck load of cash to get good sound. No offence to the guys that do that, but come on people, the music should sound great inside the car first... then outside... I hate those small little cars that cruise around here with the two 12's and the trunk is bzzzbddbmmin'. Hell, thats so much bass that really these people just pound tunes to show off their overly priced subs. I love the way my Kick sounds. Balance... thats my motto. So that leads me to my question about your mid range stuff. What u packin? By the way, what was the first song you tested it with?

Hey, has anyone tried brass pegging their rig? I have some done and man... what a weird change in vibration! Clairty will be mine! I'm looking for at least a 65% reduction in cab 'noise'.

i run 2 sets of audiobahn comps so thats 4 6.5s 4 4" and 4 tweets..i also run a 900$ clarion deck i run 2 eq's along with the decks already impresive built in eq...i have far more clarity then even a movie theater with 5.1 DTS

for alot of people the noise outside is only a sideaffect of the quality inside..when u step into my car u hear no rattles...all u hear clear sound and massive massive bass..u can hear rattles on the ourside of the car simply because i dont give a shit what other people think when i drive by..i did not do it for them..but the loud bass does help when i get people like u that give me dirty looks for enjoying my music..

Oh please Mike, don't tell us you need all that bass for sound quality. ::) All I know is the audiologists are going to be very busy in a few years. ;D

Well that's what I'm worried about, my current system which is a 45Wx4 with two 4"s and two 6x9"s already dims at high volumes at night and actually the cd player begins to cut out.

I'm really going to invest in a better alternator within the next year or so.

I'm running a sony deck with 4 JBL 4" speakers and a Koss bass tube. Very inexpensive and I can still hear it clearly (and feel it) on the highway with the top off ;) Plus the added bonus that the stock speaker grilles are on so not too many would be thieves will give it a second glance...no that there's much invested should they want to take it ;)
