Finished laying the first layers of fiberglass today for my custom box. Set to hold one 12" sub, this fits perfectly in the corner on the drivers side. I ought to finish it all tomorrow and have some reviews and how it all sounds and some finished pics. In the meantime here are some in progress pics from today:

hooray for foil:


after almost half a gallon of 'glass:


more pics tomorrow

 

thats very exciting. i wish i could make my own enclosures...

 

would you be willing to make a box like that selling one, I dont have that kind of skills. Ill pay for the effort the material the shipping and even send you some lunch or something.

 

By the way what kind of 12 are you gonna put in there.

 

lol thanks dnd, Don't worry i've saved the templates and can easily reproduce the box. I oought to have this box done tomorrow and be able to give a review of how it sounds and some final pictures. I'll shoot you a pm this weekend with some details and what not

 

The reason why i am asking is I have a JL W7 in a ported box and the box and sub combo weigh a ton, and I dont like my car sagging so I am thinking of getting my trunk space back and maybe get a single JL 12 w6, Diamond audio M6, RE se, or a Elemental design.

 

I have an Elemental Design 12k flatcone in my car, infact that is what this box is actually being built for, a sealed application for an ED sub.

 

Looks good, very curious to hear how it sounds.

 

looks great. ya gotta love foil and fiberglass!

 

heh, i'm kinda glad i left my camera at work, i somehow managed to get resin in my hair, woohoo, time for a haircut. . . .
