Portion already done:


So i got bored and decided to build a new box for my 10" JL W7

Goal:

More air space while still retaining the under strut appearance... looking to get around 2 ft^3 before displacement since my last box only had 1.4 before displacement.

In the beginning


quick test


more


so far so good


me no like leaky boxs


thought i was kidding


FACE!


Damn im good.... 2.041 ft^3


speaker wire of choice

i like the W7 but i want to try so many different subs.... too many to choose from



Man , hot car - WoW
thanks man

Is that just a cosmetic facade for the sub?

You didn't show build pics or explain where it came from.
yep, just cosmetic so there isnt a huge gap on either side of it, its just mdf wrapped in vinyl pressure fit in the opening

nope, wanted to go active so i went with the space saving route

yep, i was flipped upside down trying to install the speaker and slipped:mean:

Looks awesome...thanks for sharing your build. never heard of that deadener...ill look it up.
deadener isnt the best, fatmat extreme.... bought it before i knew there was much of a difference in them.... either way its 80mils thick

Would a spare tire still fit in there if you didn't have the amps there?
nope, box kinda gets in the way, thats why i said screw it and put the amps there


build pics/tutorial for tweet pods??
couldnt find the camera

Thats one creative instal dude. nice work
thanks man

Let me get this straight, you have the midbass drivers in the kick panels and the midrange drivers in the doors?
You will get much better results doing it the other way around.

Jorge.
yep, it would require too much modification to put the 8" in the door

either way it sounds awesome
