Hey, i was jsut wondering what the dimensions of the custom box im making for my 2 10" Pioneer subs should be to get the best quality out of em! also, what type of materials should i use? i know wood but should i use carpet or anything else! thnx

 

Size depends on what kind of subs they are (model ... not just brand). If you go to the manufacturers website you SHOULD be able to find recommended airspaces and what not for the subs. If you have the manuals for them the numbers will be in there too. As for materials ALWAYS use MDF. Thickness of mdf doesn't matter much for Pioneers but you should use at least .5". Carpet and what not doesnt matter much since it's just there to make the box look pretty. To make the subs sound the best you gotta find the recommended airspace for them.

Actually here, I was bored so I found it for ya.

Find your subs and click on them. Somewhere in the description it tells you the recommended airspace volume for the subs.

Hey, thanks alot... i went to the link but since my subs are 2 yrs old i could find em! ill talk to my buddy to find out whta model they are! i got them in a shitty *** box that im just gonna keep for now until i get the time and my exams are over to do! i just want to get all the materials ready first so its a one day job not a month job where i do something for 10 misn then leave etc... once i find out the model number ill forsure go and find the airspace etc! thanks alot

 

When I had my cadillac, I had some old 12" subs and i cracked box...So I built a new one, most boxes are made out of partical board....so i made mine out of that...u can get it at local hardware stores....i even made port holes and used the old ports from my old box...it was bad ***...i even sold it for $20!!.....jiggsaw, and skilsaw

Download blaubox from blaupunkts web site, then you can enter the subs parameters and it will recommend a box size, also vented or sealed or bandpass, whatever. If I were you I would use 3/4 inch MDF, about $18 a sheet at Home Depot, and they will cut it for you. Take the measurements from blaubox and bring them to Home Depot,, they will cut it, you glue it together and use drywall screws, then seal it with silicone.
