does any one out there have a zEnclosure subwoofer box for a 3G TL? I'm thinking about getting one but I want some input from some one who actually has 1 not just an assumption from an audio geek. pics would be awsome

the link to the item is here

I hate cars

You don't have to run it to know it's crap. How is the sound supposed to get into the cabin with the trunk sealed off? You're going to have to put more power to it to get the same sound level and you'll end up with lots of rattles for the amount of sound that gets in to the cabin.

I know of at least one person on here that has tried it, I'm sure he will reply.

Instant FAIL....

The Life

i think it "looks" good but my only issue with it is how is the bass going to get into the cabin of the car... itis all blocked off and will most likley stay in the trunk .... but im far from a professional with this stuff ...would actually like to here from some one with knowlege or experience

Caiman

I have it
It sounds great with low bass
it dies off in highs...
I got it for looks tho.

I hate cars

Do you drive around with your trunk open? I could understand making a good sounding system look good but to buy a sub enclosure for looks makes no sense.

CSWBiggs

he's 19 with zero experience...he doesn't know any better

-Jason

Caiman

I probably have more experience than you do

And for anyone who doesnt want to be an asshole, I have a kicker solobaric l5 with a kenwood 500w amp

I had it in a kicker ported box, which sounded good, but I couldnt get it bolted down correctly without drilling through the metal. So I went with the zenclosure box.

Paintballny

This should be interesting...


I take it you haven't seen his threads....

Caiman

I have seen them. Im waiting for a nice long asshole response from him. Let the flaming begin! lol

eggyhustles

kicker sub and kenwood amp

kick ass setup dude

CSWBiggs

You have more experience than me...everyone has got my back on this...

put it to you this way...

- I've built 12 CES/SEMA cars...and you...0
- Largest system i've installed dollar value me $70,000...and you maybe $1,000
- largest sub box i've built... 54 cubic feet...and you...probably nothing you buy pre fabbed...
- battery's in a car i've done...22...and you 1
- alternators in a car...me 5 and you..stock...
- alarms/remotes starters installed 2000 ish and you...none


do you notice a pattern...

I will always be greater than you!

I>U

- Jason

Caiman

If you dont mind, how old are you?

CSWBiggs

lol...older than you...

-Jason

Caiman

because you definitely act like it.

college education anyone?
less than 300lbs anyone?
how about the part where you amount to anything in life other than an internet superstar?

CSWBiggs

ROFL….

Since you're gay and want my nuts...

I’m 5'11" at 180lbs...Muscular, dark skin, very handsome...hung like a moose =P

Oh I like long walks on the beach and deep conversations that lead to "other" things...

I'm a successful Senior Network Administrator for the Department of Defense...

Internet superstar I am not...I may be a smartass...but I do actually posses the knowledge and experience to back my shit up


Thank you and have a nice day!

-Jason

BTW don't take the gay talk to seriously...in case you thought i was being serious CAIMAN...IN YOUR DREAMS BUDDY

Caiman

HAHAHA I was 5'11 180 when I was 16! I played wide reciever on my jv highschool team
Im 6'3 225 right now
I workout every day
I>U now

I cant stop laughing

CSWBiggs

So it is true...they grow them big and dumb in texas....

thanks for the confirmation...

-Jason

Last I check...225 is closer to 300 than 180....Man you just sound like an Idiot!

Caiman

Its fine. My 3.5gpa in college (something you never went to, or completed at least) is pretty stupid
Ill NEVER be able to use my economics degree with those kind of shitty grades

Caiman

I can bench press more than 2 of you. Pathetic.

eggyhustles

Who cares about your gpa

were talking about audio

your setup is meh

the end.

CSWBiggs

OMG...3.5GPA...OK...

got me shaking in my boots buddy...

hide behind college...sure...do it...set yourself up for debt...in a particular field that ran our own economy into the ground...real smart decision...

Just remember...my experience pays more than your economics degree...so stop with the pissing match already...you'll lose...

-Jason

CSWBiggs

it's ok...I was 19 once too...

fortunately for me...I grew out of it...you on the other hand...may not...

The future of economics is doomed if it falls in your hands...

-Jason

Caiman

No debt for me! 100% paid for by the folks!
Im set!

Caiman

Dude, dont be pissed. Its an internet forum. I could be lying through my teeth! I could be a 5'11" heart throb with a horse dick. That is amazing with car audio. I bet your physics degree helps with that, am i right?

CSWBiggs

you're the one that got all personal...

i discounted your audio abilities...not how you look...not how much you make...not your choice of career...

so I do believe that I got under your skin first..

-Jason

ZING...I've Done It Again...

Caiman

You just had a nice smartass comment to start off with
No big deal
Its just annoying when Im trying to give someone some info, because I actually have the box, and you try to act superior like you have authority. Im trying to help the guy, Im not, however, trying to be made sound illegitimate, or like a not creditable source. I have the box. I can give input. I may be 19, but I have experience. You dont know me. Dont make assumptions.

Its cool that your a pro audio installer, just next time, if im trying to help someone from MY experience, dont try to sound smarter or better than me.

remember, us texas boys are big and dumb, apparently

CSWBiggs

I'm really not a car audio installer...not since late 2006...I go back and do the big projects when they arize....SEMA/CES cars...and thats twice a year...hell It's been over a year and my shit still ain't done...

I really am a Sr Network Admin for the DoD...

read through my build thread...it has a ton of information that will help you expand your knowledge...

don't be soooo angry young one...

-Jason

Caiman

I actually did read through your build thread a while ago and thought it was pretty cool...i didnt think youd snap off on me with an asshole comment. Your here to help right?

Well, we can stop this now...
we all know the saying
"fighting on the internet is like winning the special olympics..."

Back to car audio. lol




The box is decent. Nothing compared to a ported box built to specs, but it looks good, and I still have bass.

I have upper deck rattle, as with most TL's, but nothing I cant fix with a little foam.

For the $125 I paid for it, I dont think I made a bad purchase.

After all, I could just build my own port through the rear arm rest hatch and I'd be dandy.lol

CSWBiggs

if it were only that easy...

-Jason

Caiman

Its not that bad. Ive built enclosures before. You just have to get the port size right and it sounds good.

Im not a technically challenged college kid. I have a full tool set that I use to build everything from aquarium stands to complex 3-D shapes...

CSWBiggs

prepare to be flamed kid...

as I have said before...in-experienced...

I'm off to bed...I'm actually gonna work on my system tomorrow...get it done before the new year...

-Jason

Caiman

its fine dude.
you think because you have installed 10 billion systems that you rule the world.
I dont care If im flamed, because you are a flamer.

I tried to end this...but your still an asshole. I wish youd come to texas one day...id show you how us big dumb texans solve our problems.

Caiman

and its not rocket science. step down fucker

CSWBiggs

please figure this out than...definitely not rocket science...but it isn't easy...

-Jason

Caiman

Fb= tuning freq of the sub box
Vb= volume of box
Lv= port length

now give me the variables. nothing a ti83 cant solve

CSWBiggs

30+ minutes to respond...

Atleast you figured out how to use the google-thing-a-ma-jigger...lol

C'mon dude, it's easy to figure shit out on a calculator. Try making your numbers reality! Take your tools out and try and make your own enclosure! My man you talking shit on has the knowledge and the experience! Jason might be a smartass but he knows his shit! The enclosure you have is crap, just try to cut it up and make a port, I promise you it will sound like shit! And you'll still have rattles.

So after you finish you benching, go to your trunk grab that box do a couple of sets of military presses with it then chuck it into the nearest dumpster!
