loving the looks but think you could have gotten more sound out of that woofer.

tangent, i know, but what is the mounting depth of that sucker?

clean though, like the amp rack a lot
Im not into alot of bass so I wan't too worried about getting the 100% out of the sub ... but with the setup I am running I am adjust the phase and make it so that my headunit and amp know that the sub in inverted and it will adjust the sound it sends to the sub ... The mounting depth is only like 6" ... Not alot ... The Type-X is about 12" ... So I have to run it nverted.

I believe its about .70cft ... My Type-X calls for .50 - 1.00cft inverted ... so this enclouser is perfect for it ...

i think their should be some ported ones. you could make the overall enclouser talled to add to the air space.

making the enclosure taller completely defeats the original design purpose - to not take up any extra room (but so does inverted mounting of a woofer...)

but the whole point to this style box was to be as scape efficient as possible.

When you put the plexi cover over the amp you can put stuff on top of it if you need. If you put a big sub box back there you lose almost all room ...
I thinking making the enclouser taller would look ugly anyways ... I was about to make it but after I looked at it for a while I didn't think It was gonna look that good and so I kept it in its original form which looks pretty damn good!

What good subs fit in this eclosure? 5.5" is not very deep and most good subs I've found are 6" or more. I'm looking at an RE Audio SX10 sub and it has 6" mounting depth. Does anyone make a spacer for subs?

why do I always have to explain my posts ... jeez. The Audioform boxes are meant to take up no EXTRA SPACE... I can't explain that any more clearly... it's just that self explanatory. Putting a big ___ MDF box ON TOP of that area takes up all the room.. putting a flush mounted box inside those recessed areas DOESN'T. When using the recessed enclosures you are consuming no interior cubic footage that was unused BEFORE you installed the system, you can fold the seats down and still have the SAME AMOUNT OF UTILITY SPACE (unless you go an invert your subs of course...)... HENCE "TO NOT TAKE UP ANY EXTRA ROOM." !!!!

Just to clarify, we actually make two different 10" enclosures for the xB. Our first xB enclosure was designed to fit normal size subs with a mounting depth up to 5 1/2". This enclosure fits flush with the panel located next to it and takes up very little space. This enclosure has approximately .70 ft^3 of air space. We do not make this enclosure anymore but have some remaining in stock that we sell at a discount.

Our current xB enclosure is designed for oversized 10" subs with mounting diameters up to 10.75" and mounting depths up to 6.5" This enclosure will fit many 10" subs on the market today, but obviously not all of them. Air space is approximately the same as our older enclosure, .70 ft^3. This enclosure is a little taller than our first one to accomodate deeper subs but still fits perfectly in the storage area.

Our amp rack will work with both enclosures.

We do sale and install Diamond Audio subwoofers and a few other brands that will fit in both style enclosures.

Hope this info helps clear up any confusion. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to PM, email or call.

Keep Jammin,

Ok, I got the 5.5" mountin depth from your Ebay listing of these enclosures. So are the ones listed there the new ones?
Does the amp rack require you to remove the spare tire?

i understand now. i though you meant open floor space being free. either way i dont think raising it abut 2 inschs to make it ported would be THAT bad.besides. its kinda like a balance.
do you understand?

5.5" Is the old one and yes you loose the spare tire with the amp rack!

Just raising it and porting it will do nothing. To properly port a box there is alot of measuring and calculating involved. Also these enclousers are NOT a banpass setup which makes porting it even harder. Alot of subs are very **** when it comes to being put in a ported enclouser and for best sound you can't just make a universal ported box. The best universal enclousers are sealed. 95% of "CUSTOM" ported enclousers are made to work with the sub they are holding. Hope this helps.

Just to let everyone know, I have changed my user name from rcherry2 to AudioFormz. So please send all inquiries to this name.

As far as ported enclosures is concerned, we do not offer this enclosure ported for a few but very important reasons. First, vented or ported enclosures require significantly more air space in order for the enclosure to work correctly. The storage area where this enclosure is located has very limited space, which is not enough for most of the 10" subs on the market today to play effectively in ported enclosures. This is also why we do not offer this enclosure for a 12" sub, which requires more air space to play effectively. Another requirement of ported enclosures is obvious, a port, which in most instances needs to be long, especially if you want to tune to the enclosure to a lower sub bass frequency. Again, the physical dimensions of this area make it difficult to add a port. It can be done but from a production standpoint, it's not a wise choice. Hope this info helps.

Not to mention the individual nature of ported enclosures. They need to be different for every sub.

Does the amp rack eliminate the spare tire?

When you put the plexi cover over the amp you can put stuff on top of it if you need.
I have the same enclosure without the amp rack. Come on bro do your really want to put something on top of the paint it will scratch it. I know because i have already done it to mines. Not worth it to take the chance to scuff the paint. I bought it to to also save space but u can't really save space if you paint it thats why i am considering covering it with matching carpet. But it does look way better then having a subbox sitting there.[/quote]

Our xB enclosure is not designed for the xA. You can check out our MONOglass fiberglass enclosures at our website, www.audioformz.com for your xA. They will fit and have a custom look to them, although they are not vehicle specific.

You do lose the spare tire when installing our amp rack.
