Sub Enclosure

[Sweety]

Well i've been using a sealed sub enclosure for the past year which sounded ok but it wasn't loud enough for me due to the large cabin of the T2, so after spending a few weeks working out where I wanted to position the sub in the boot for the best sound & max boot space I finally found the spot & then started designing the enclosure to give the correct volume for the sub & it's shape. The sub is an old 10" JBL GT3 & it's getting 250w RMS (50w RMS over what it should get:lol) the enclosure is tuned to 32.75Hz via a 2.5" wide x 6.5" port. Had a little play today & it's far better than the last set up & now you can feel the N/S/R 1/4 panel vibrating to the base:lol
Looks very rough at the min but once my carpet arrives & I get the enclosure all trimmed up it'll look a 1000% better:thumbs

Very noice sir. We will both have to attend a meet at some point and compare subs. I think my sub is brutal, it shakes the door mirrors really badly on a good song :lol

This sub will be getting replaced in time with either a single 12" or 2x12" or poss a pair of 15's & a much bigger amp:sly but at the min it's doing it's job nicely & is fully removable just 2 screws on the O/S facing the boot door & the other fixing point is the catch for the 3rd row of seats which clips over a large bolt thats secured to the box then just need to pull out the phono leads & unplug the amp power cables as I fitted a quick plug under the back seat:thumb2

Cheers:thumbs hopefully the carpet will be here in the next day or so & then can get it all trimmed up which will make it look loads better

Well the carpet turned up yesterday but was unable to get the enclosure trimmed as I was busy repairing a body kit for the Son's car & had to keep dodging the rain showers:doh Managed to get a break in the weather go could get the trimming done as i've got to do it outside as the glue stinks out the house:augie I'm quite happy with the out come tho just need to make up my mind to whether or not i'm going to add a bit of black & silver checker plat into the recess at the end of the enclosure

Very nice.... is the recess functional, or cosmetic?

TBH put the recess in to make trimming a bit easier:lol thought I would test my old encloure's strength out as I remembed being told if you've built an enclosure well it won't break if you dropped it off a garage roof so stood on the prch roof & chucked it up in the air & when it hit the ground it bounced & was fine built this one even stronger:lol:thumbs
