Default What would you do with this stuff?

Right I was digging through the attic and came across a box with two tens in it. I must have bought them 4 or 5 years ago. One of them was cracked but the other looked good (dusty, but good). Further digging unearthed a matching sub I could have sworn I sold years ago =/

I just removed my carpc from the xB but I was too lazy to unwire it so the xB was already wired up to test the amp and subs. So I did, and it works (surprisingly). Here's my problem, I have no knowledge about subs, amps and whatever. All I know is that in it's current state it's loud but not space friendly. So I'm asking how you guys would shrink this and where you would put it.

I don't have much of a budget btw.

Here's how it is now, just pulled out of the attic and put in the car. btw the backseat is gone and will likely never be put back in. I need all the space I can get back there.


Dusty amp is where my carpc was


The box was wired up like this in the attic


The one cracked sub, it still hits hard (no rattles or anything) but I don't know if it's a big problem.

I'd get a smaller box and run 1 10". I run one 10" in a box half that size with 200W and it's plenty. You can sink it into the floor over the rear storage box.

With a little more info, we should be able to help.
First, what type of subs are those? If you can get a make and model (probably written on the back of the magnet), this will give us a little to go on as far as specs, power handling, and enclosure design.
Next, unless that enclosure is divided, I wouldn't go banging away on those subs just yet. If the enclosure is not divided and the cracked woofer fails, it is possible that you could damage the other woofer.

Build a box out of fiberglass under the false floor beneath your spare tire?

Sell it locally if you don't want to mess with it.
