Default Custom Infinity 10" Enclosure $19.97 *Pics*

Okay, so I am working on building a custom sealed box for my 10" Infinity 1052W.

I am sure this has been done before, but this is what I got so far - what do you guys think? For 5.99 1/2" particle board, 4.99 Screws, 9.99 Coors Light, you get a custom box that frees up some trunk space and makes your sounds custom?

Took the cushion and traced an outline for the top:


Time to check measurments for cubic feet (infinity needs .75 total measurments = .74, close enough):


Bottom Measurements were about 1/2 inch narrower than Top:


Time to get cutting:


Test fit time for side walls.... (bear in mind that this is a "custom" job and that all the plans are in the brain")


This is my favorite, because I noticed at this point that I placed all the side walls in from top-to-bottom and not bottom to top..... (dough... Coors Light), easy fix though...

Side walls fixed, time for a test



Fit is good:


Top is positioned and mounted for test fit - looking good....


Circle is drawn for proper cut:


Speaker Cut was a pain, because could not get the cut just right:


Damn, it was a close fit:


Okay, so now it looks like all is lined up and ready for sealant:


Good old Wood Glue and Caulk should do the trick:


This is the messiest part of the entire project:


Okay, now we are ready to mount the top on, cut the inlet channels, and carpet the box..... But, this is all for one day.....

Impressive! I like a "frugal" modder! Curious as to how it's going to sound.

Next time go to RiteAid and get better beer! $9.99 will get you a 12'er of St. Paulie Girl or Foster's. (j/k with ya, man.)

Unfortunately - No. the JL w6v2 needs a mounting depth of 6.9" and 1.18 cubic feet of air space. This box has a mounting depth of 5.0" and .74 cubic feet of air space - just enough for the Infinity....

That is actually the plan.... However, after doing some soul searching, I might incorportate some 1/4" plexiglas into it some how....Keep you updated man...

It should sound ok - it has just under the amount of cubic airspace that Infinity recommends for this sub in a sealed box.

I know, I should have gotten some better beer.... But, then I start having some real problems finishing my projects
