Has anyone done this? I'm just using a jl 12w0 to add some thump, so i was wondering if i shape a box about .75 cu ft to fit in the spare tire space?

 

I have seen several articles on it, but haven't built an enclosure like that.

Might check http://www.sounddomain.com. Might be able to find a walk through of someone else building one. I used that as a starting point when figuering out the construction process on my kick panels.

I think mine is between .75^3ft and 1^3ft.

 

I built one for 2 Orion 10s. The enclosure is about 1.5 cu.ft. Actually I am building a whole false floor system with an amp rack and the spare tire subs. First time I have ever tried this, I should have it done in the next week or two. i'll post pics when i am done.

1blackhatch, thats EXACTLY what i am looking for...
4doorex, your pics would be muchos helpful...

 

Here's a good how-to. Although instead of glassing a baffle I just used a sheet of MDF and cut it to the shape of that cover that is in the trunk already.

Yeah i'm only putting in one 12" so I don't really needto fibreglass anything... just make a top cover with the 2/4" MDF.

 

Hey make sure you post up some pics when you're done!

 

Do you want pics of in progress or just the finished project?

why not use 3/4"?

 

I think that was a typo or else he woulda typed 1/2". Or maybe he meant 4/8" or 16/32"

 

heres what i did in 20 mins or so... check my post in this thread!

That looks nice!

Do you have any pictures in better light? I can't make out the general shape of the box or anything. Did you paint it? or cover it in vinyl/carpet?

 

I is a vinyl wraped floor board and the enclosure is carpeted.

****It's for sale now too since I just sold the car today. Let me know if you guys are interested in it!

 

That lowrider article is nice that has the 3 subwoofers in the spare tire well. However, my hatch is gutted so the sub and amp will need to sit lower to allow a cover over the amp / sub that lays flush with the rest of the trunk. I need to figure out what 10" sub to go with that requires very little space and build a small enclosure.......

 

i built one in the new EVO VIII for a friend of mine. We made it with fiberglass. Very nice, put 3 10 in. Mtx's.
