What do you guys think? Its just as wide as the center arm wrest/console so i can still lay the seat all the way back. Im also going to wrap it in Vinyl to match the interior. Im waiting on the samples in the mail.

 

I think it looks real nice. And the vinyl will look better than the carpet, but will it sound as good? (Doesn't the carpet deaden outside noises? I guess you could use Dynamat... But great work!)

 

Very, very nice box.

 

Looks like a nice start. What depth of sub will fit in there?

 

not sure how much the carpet would deaden the sound if it even does. I am going to lay down a few layers of foam before the vinyl

 

Hole for a 10 inch sub. I measured the top mount depth to be about 5 1/2 max depending on the sub. I plan on getting an Infinity sub that i liked that is 4 1/2 inches deap.

 

looks good...

Are you going to have it all done for the get together???

 

No idea lol. I have not even gotten the vinyl samples in the mail yet and i need to get the sub. Going to tap into the back of the radio and run a high low converter. Cant hear the speakers behind the seat anyway.

 

Sounds sweet. I have always been told that is the reason for using carpet on sub boxes. Not trying to shoot your plan down, because it looks and sounds sweet. Just thinking out loud...

 

I biult one last week. It goes under the center seat in the 98. Had to take the seat out, and cut away foam under the seat. It came out really nice. Its only a 8 inch sub. You cant even feel the box when you sit on the seat. I belive JL audio makes a box for under the center seat on a 2nd gen.

 

Ummmm???? If you need to rely on carpet for deadner its not built even close to right . It is commonly done in automotive to make things look nice, that's it.

 

why not get it sprayed with rhino or linex?

the audio shop down here does that to all of their boxes and it works out well


sent you a PM about an amp

 

I got the info from a guy that builds amps It helps reduce echoes and vibrations according to him.

 

Your correct in the sense that reflections are a big part of car audio, glass is probably the biggest and large pieces of flat hard plastic such as dash and door panels however the issue is generally associated with the directional waves of the higher frequencies. I thought you meant to stop resonance from the enclosure its self

 

I have built many other complex systems in the past. I have always used vinyl and it has always sounded great. For this system i am not going for big resonating bass either. I just had an old reg cab box sittin around and i got bored so i just made a stand on it and added some siding to make it contour to the cargo box and the rear of the cab.
