ok so i spent like a few hundred bucks on:

Table saw
Router
few different sanders
new drill
blades, bits, 2 rollers for materials coming off the saw
2 sheets of 5/8 MDF
2 sheets of 3/4MDF
few boxes of wood/drywall screws

now heres what i wanna do in my XB

mount my 2 10inch subs

sony "1100watt" http://www.crutchfield.com/S-3wtdyse...&avf=N&search=

in a Sealed .75 cubic foot box (for each of course)

along with my 2 Sony "1000watt" amps
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-3wtdyse...&avf=N&search=


Ive got all the wire run to the back from the older setup with a crappy store bought box from before but the wiring is good and I'm running a 1 1/2 farad cap that isn't very aesthetically pleasing so i wouldn't mind hiding that but id like to "float" or at least mount the 2 amps nicely and show off a little bit of my investment without losing any sound quality

and i KNOW somebody will comment on it.... it may not be the best equipment.... but i got all the sony stuff for free so I'm gonna use it instead of buying new stuff

if Anyone has any ideas on similar setups they've seen or any new ideas they been throwing around please let me know id love to see some pictures and get some advice
I'm good with wood working tools (3 years of wood-shop and i try to keep handy, Ive built some speaker enclosures and furniture before) but i have never worked with fiberglass but may be willing to try, and i will be, if everything looks great, either Painting or using vinyl on the final enclosures and Racks i don't find Carpet all that satisfying

Thanks again for the help
Scott

 

Not sure what you're asking for advice on but you need to talk to you local shop and search the web for ideas. All the great looking setups i've seen use mdf and fiberglass to acheive their results. If you're just using mdf, it might be hard to do anything but a box shaped enclosure.

 

i just wanted advice on how to incorperate the 2 amps and 2 subs in the rear section of my XB without losing the spare tire and have it still pleasing to the ears and eyes...

i did a serch on the forums for a hour or two and got a few ideas but stuff i had seen in the past dident come up.... and i was also looking into maybe getting my hands on the palns to build a under seat 10enclosure or the roof mount sub bow that ive heard a few people talking about.... or maybe just a few handfuls of pics of what other people have done with 2 10inch subs in the back of a compact car like the XB

 

if you can fiberglass your possiblities are endless otherwise your pretty stuck

 

wheres a good place to get the fiberglass and resin at a decent price.... should i try a like home depot or a marine store or is there somewhere that sells it cheaper?.... i also have a gallon of bondo in the garage seled up and ready to use on my project also

 

home depot will be the cheapest place its 20 a gallon for resin look on ebay for a bulk purchase of f/g cloth or matting...-i picked up like 60 yards of 4oz weave for like 30 something

 

right on thanks for the info ill look now ill double check the price at the depot tooo befor i buy it on ebay i kinda wanted to get started on some ideas int he moring and play with my new tools of course!

 

is there a specific way you want to mount them? i have some ideas i can show/tell you at the next scinergy meeting.

 

well im kinda working with how to add in the 2 amps ive built some "floating boxes to mount them in its just how in the hell to do the two Tens...=) i was playing around with my new tools and have a few little ideas but the problem is the amps are huge and the rear area is not...=)

 

oh i did a little price comparissons

home depot and Lowes are the exact same price on every componest that i shop for as far as materials wen tot the Penny!


except the router bit i bought for making the holes for the speakers.... only cause there were two differnt brands availble at each store

 

how big are the amps?

 

the amps are 12inches by 15 pretty good size i built two trays for them so far so i can "float" them and i built the first box for the subs so far ill try it for a little while but i know ill end up making a new one soon...
