ya 1/2 isnt that great you really want 3/4 mdf but i would guess that he used 1/2 inch to get a lil more air space ... i know when we build custom boxes at my shop we always use 3/4 mdf .... that might also be why there such a good price

Munch

Hey superjeer you wanna make me one of those bro :?: I like it and I want it, but I don't want to build it. PM me we'll talk about it

superjeer

PM'd :-) I'll build these for people that want them, but the only way to make it cost effective for *points at screen* people is if I can make three per side at once time to cut down on time/labor.

Oh, and I'm cool to trade these for stuff, since I don't have any spending money anymore. I like intakes, headers, goldlines, amps..

superjeer

Also, I dunno if there's anyone on the forums close to me, but I'd like to get a third party opinion on how they sound. Anyone? ;-)

Kairoh

So exactly what are your boxes made of and what size do they hold?

superjeer

mine? they are 3/4" MDF.. about .7 feet-cubed or so. Designed for a rear firing 8" sub, as shown in pic.

here's some more pics from before it was covered and installed.

Kairoh

So do they just slide in or do you have to remove the seats to put them in? Could they modified to hold 10"?

superjeer

you have to remove the seat (four bolts, not hard). The harness for the sensor had to be moved too (it was a bracket that hung down right in the way, not hard either).

Do you want it to hold a 10" and fire backwards or down or up? All are possible.. but 8" would fit and sound best, given the space, convential wisdom would say anyway ;-). You'd lose a couple inches in hieght to fire a sub up or down, so the volume would decrees a lot (it would be easier to biuld though ) If you wanted a 10 to fire back.. that would invade the foot well area a lot. I'm not even sure how I'd pull that off...

Kairoh

If you have e-mail, e-mail me at kairoh@comcast.net, so we can discuss this without having to write in the forum.

The0ckid82

there are 5 bolts to remove the seat lol not 4

superjeer

yeah yeah, two in the rear middle. I remember now. They're fun to get back in with the box there too

The one thing that you need to do is not having the sub visable mine points directly up at the passengers ___. this way no one kicks your sub and it looks alot cleaner. it does restrict your leg room but if you build a smaller box (which ill post soon) it dosent take that much. Ill have these posted soon...... i love that box you made but im just not hot about the 8 inch sub and it pointing towards the back seat passengers. Great job otherwise!

Reign_Man

yea...id be wary of people kicking the sub...make sure u get some grills

bumping this back up with a ??

I don't actually have my xB yet, and have never looked, but is there anything under the drivers seat? i.e., could you put a box under each front seat for more bass/sound?

Also... the rear firing box posted above, was a price ever set for it, as I missed it if so.

rockdeezo

put your sub in your trunk space unless you want something for show or shock value. sound waves travel alot better when it has room to travel and a nice hatch to bounce off of. a 'serious sub' takes an enclosure that does not fit under your seat (just the facts, dont kill the messenger) so therefore the trunk is really the only place to put any half way decent sub w/ sub box.

you can stick a subwoofer anywhere maybe the glove box but it doesnt make it right. i have a buddy with an xb with the same set up. it sounds o.k. but even he knows spl levels wont be had their [under seat]

depending on what SOUND you want, it is your choice, but looks is a different story, it looks nice but SQ and SPL is another story.

many people are looking for a "serious sub"... only some addition to the lower end of the frequency. I for one NEED the space in the rear and must consider other options, even if that means sacrificing a bit of sound to do it.

superjeer

There's a jack and a bracket to hold the jack under the drivers seat. Someday I'll get around to building the box for under there. I'll just move the jack to the back.

I've not sold any of these yet. If I could get three people to say they wanted one then I think I could sell them at a decent price (plus shipping and sub) because most of the time and labor is spent in setting up for the cuts. If I can run a few boards through for each cut that will cut the labor part way down.

NERD_BOX

Well, Say there were three buyers. How much would each pay including shipping speaker and box shipped to 90028?
LOL. I want a price!

wedgiesaurus

depending on the price, i could be number 2
