Custom box inspiration- 56k friendly I think!

[Harleyguy]

If you are like me, I like looking at different styles of sub boxes for inspiration. I have had the priveledge of working on all 3 of these 04 scions. A lot of sanding, a lot of vinyl stretching and most of all cussing. feel free to imitate, borrow a couple of ideas and I will try to answer any questions as they come up. Enjoy!

[SuperMario6582]

[mickeycakes]

yeah nice work....do you have any idea the price for those setups or do you just do the labor?

well, the gear is what it is and the labor for those boxes and custom stuff is 65/hour and they usually ran around 20-30 hours on and off over a week or 2. They really are not as complicated as you think. Well, the first one was!

as you progress in doing this stuff, you get to know all kinds of small tricks that turn out very custom looking. I had the opportunity to learn from the best!

The best tip I can give out is that when you build a box, make finish panels for the sides and front to cover up any gaps, holes left where the box could not fill it in. Most of them are pressure fit and pop out so you can remove the box for maintenance.

Wow! I really like the two yellow tubed one.

[metal112524]

^^ ya it reminiscent of a powerplant or something.

Very nice work, im still trying to figure out that first one.

[metal112524]

i got it, its the starship enterprise!

[spng-bxb]

got any build pics of the last one? I love it!

[Harleyguy]

let me see if I can dig some up. I believe they were on my other computer that took a crap on me.

The guy that came up with that idea was a genius!

[spng-bxb]

whats in the center of the last one?

[itsmethemagicz]

great work, looks amazing

[jwaj2002]

that first one is weird looking, but I like all three

[Harleyguy]

that is a 25 farad cap in the middle of the last one. In front of the rear seat, there is a slot in the box where the cap slid right into place. That way we could vinyl the top and into the hole you see.

Those all look pretty sweet

On the top one, does the amp rack swing out or something?

What's the volume of each of the yellow tubes in the second one?

[Harleyguy]

the top one does not swing out. The cool thing about that is that there is a led above the plexi that when lit, it turns the whole plexi blue.

The airspace of the tubes is just over 1.25 cubic feet if I remember correctly. The tubes are mounted to boxes down below.
