i been having this problem with my past sub boxes i got 2 12 inch alpine type x's and after like a year or so the sub ends up flying out the box and making the box useless and the screws are broken in half. half of the screw stuck inside the box still. and the sub boxes i had werent cheap there bassworx boxes made with 3/4 inch mdf

im just wondering what kind of screws you guys use. i dont know what kind they used this time because i got it professionally installed from best buy. but ill post some pics later today or tommorow of the sub box and the screws they used

just for reference this is the box im using

T-nuts / Hurricane nuts.

 

thanks man i think before they just used like some drywall screws that were like an inch long so they almost came out the back because the wood is only 3/4 inch

 

lulz@using sq subs in high tuned ported boxes

 

^ wat wud you suggest? i really dont wanna spend couple grand on a custom setup

 

Get a properly designed and built ported box made for them

Shouldn't cost too much

 

Advice I can give you that was handed down to me from Andy W. of JBL:

When going with a ported box, go as big as you can, tune as low as you can, and EQ out the peak (if there is one.) Also poly-stuff the box at up to ~1.25lbs of stuffing per cubic foot, which will effectively lower the port tune a bit more.

Model it up on WinISD if you want to see a visual example of what it would sound like (relative to the box you have now.)

 

Why would a custom box cost u a grand. Hell I build them for under 200 for my customers. And bassworx sucks fyi. Hell most pre fabs do. And holy ba jeez high tuning. Daily is 32-35

 

Here is some pics, Not doin it to advertise just giving him examples sure not show quality but done for under $200. Could I do show boxes sure but I build the boxes that make the dbz lol

I always take fourth's approach and tune between 28-30 then eq out the peaks

 

Would also work. I just always do 32-35 for customers unless they specify

 

looks good man i dont have any people round here that know what they talking about when it comes to systems they all just tell me i need a custom fiber glass enclosure this and that try to get me to spend a grand or 2

you sure sound like u know alot would you be able to make me one and ship it over here. i dont know much about the tuning and stuff like that dont know how it works

Never shipped a box before wouldnt know where to begin. But go to caraudioclassifieds.org plenty of ppl there who ship, a guy named spy makes some amazing boxes

 

fyi I have shipped boxes to others, and its not too bad at all when going general parcel with usps, with insurance. I just use cardboard left over from other boxes (or you can purchase boxes just about anywhere and cut them up into strips, and tape them together to make the correct box size.) Once you got two layers on the box, you can wrap it all in cellophane, and then you're good. About $20 in shipping materials average per enclosure. Shipping itself can be estimated on USPS website, but the best thing to do is to get an agreement with your buyer that the total cost will be paid based on actual shipping cost + materials, and that's best done by having the buyer paypal you a higher than planned cost and then refunding what is not spent.

The boxes I built and shipped for people was for the Mazda Tribute / Ford Escape / Mercury Mariner crowd. I used my own Tribute to build fiberglass bottoms, then made simple wood tops and carpeted it all for a clean appearance in the trunk. I made and shipped 5 of them, if I recall.

Note, I'm not saying I'll make one for you, I'm out of the business of doing it until my boy gets a little older and needs less constant attention
