new subs

hey, ok but why have the subs facing the floor, are you planning to put like legs on it so it can be up from the floor an inch or so. It would be much better facing up i think instead of down. Not sure though. Is it because you don't want people to see the subs when you park? Also if 11" deep is pushing it maybe i can make it 10" deep and go 17" high instead of 16" Either way is fine, let me know what you decide, it will be a tight fit with four 8's across the top or bottom. Maybe make a double baffle-the panel with the subs. ugh, i know more work lol.

 

I could face subs up...That wouldnt be a problem...Dont know if up or down would be better for SQ...If they were down, yes I would lift the box off the floor a little with spacers...

My biggest worry is appearance...I would rather make it so it doesnt look like I threw a box with speakers into it in the back...When I am finished you will see what I mean...I want it pretty stealth...Even though on anybody's close look at it, they will know it is probably stereo, I would just rather if I have the hatch open it looks less obvious to someone across the parking lot...I am not too worried about it getting ripped off...I live in a calm place and at work it is right outside my door...I dont crank it up so people know I "got a system"..99.9 % of the time sitting next to me at a light you wont even hear it...

 

That's cool, so face them down and have one port in each side near the top, also maybe should leave it 11" deep, will give you a little extra room for the subs. It will be a very tight fit for the subs, maybe trace the pattern first and measure it up before you start building to make sure it can be done.

 

will do.....

What do you guys use to glue the ports in place? Can the ports be ran along side the top or sides to help hold them in place? Just curious about a 14" long piece of PVC hanging sideways in a box with nothing but the end secured with a 3/4" piece of particle board as the only support?

Doesn't sound nice does it. But if you use an epoxy it will hold and sound fine.

 

I used the glue for PVC pipes which is called ABS Cement, it's right next to the PVC piping. Holds like Cement! lol, try and cut the holes so it's a tight fit for the pvc pipe also. Oh and try and leave room around the pipes so the air can flow. Don't mount them against a wall.

 

here's a link to my box i'm using now with pics of the build.

what about your L7?

 

its gonna ave to do... how much u gettin for it all?

 

ah, you're finally selling some stuff. like jonny said, how much are you getting for all of it?

 

let us know how it sounds.... I hate to say this but if i ever get my car sold, my next box will probably be sealed. I can't handle me ears ringing anymore. it hurts too much. I'm going to tone my next system down...
