Well I was gonna put my camber kit on this weekend, but I decided to do this instead. It sounds killer!








System: 05SSMTSXNavXM

Doms Navi/vid conversion
Alpine TV Tuner
Soundgate Aux3
Alpine MRV-F450
Infinity 6.5s
JBL 6x9's
2 Alpine 10"s

 

That's by far the cleanest dual woofer setup I've seen!!! maddddd propz for that idea!! Did you do it yourself or get it done somewhere and if u so, how much was the installation? Only thin I would do differently if I ever go with two subwoofers, I would hide that amp or put something on top of it to protect it. I carry lot of stuff especially golf bags and it ain't amplifier friendly...!!!

 

THX for the props! It looks super clean in person. I did it myself. If anyone needs this hook up PM me!

I haven't completed my Amp set up yet that's why it's right there. I didn't want to cut anything. In this pic the mres are wrapped up in the material I used for the boxes. I don't want to cut anything for this amp settup since the MRV-F450 is most likely gonna have a little brother or sister soon. That single amp is running a 10 speaker system 2ohms per channel.

With this setup you can still install a flexible net to the 4 connectors in the trunk. That's what I plan on doing.

 

mres=wires ...... Sorry!

 

that is EXACTLY the type of set up i want to switch to, i am getting tired of my box with 2 12s hogging all my trunk space.

 

12"s will fit!

 

damn you should come down and do this in my car???!!!! more than willing to pay!! =)

 

Very clean install!

 

That is tight, I wanted to do the same just one 12". Did you building the boxes?

 

Thx all!

Yes! I built both.

 

would there be enough airspace in the enclosure though? I dont' know enough about enclosures...

 

The passenger side has a little more air space than the drivers side. There should be enough room for a 12 on that side for sure. Drivers side may be a little tight. I could have Squoze(should be a word!) some more air space out of both sides, but decided to make it fit this way. I didn't think there would be enough air space for a 10, but the low notes are nice.

 

Looks great man

How much airspace is in each box?
Do you get a lot of rattles with the subs there?

 

Surprisingly, there are no major rattles. Those damn torsion bars rattle just a tad bit and thats it. It sounds pretty damn solid.

 

That's nice dude, nice!

 

I love the setup, but would you still be able to fit multiple golf bags in the trunk? Man, I love the look though!

 

You can fit golf bags in if you put half of the back seat down or if you take out one of the boxes. I haven't tried, so you might still be able to. I will try it when I get home.

 

Do you know about how much airspace each box provides?

 

Nice work. No pics of the process? : )

 

well done man! that looks awesome

 

very nice and clean

 

YES GOLF BAGS DO FIT!!!

I put my set in there after work today. I will post other pics this weekend along with quick how I did it.

Also will measure the volume this weekend if I can. I woud like to know myself.

 

well now you can do the gas shock conversion and eliminate the torsion bar rattles

i would love to do this in my TL for a cleaner look, plus then i could have 2 DVC 10s i will have to look into it myself.

SSTS

 

CJ, how long are *your* golf clubs? ; )

Hey, no pics of the back? Of the assembly process?

 

So whats the trick in doing this? very nice setup..... im looking for any and all ideas I have 01 3.2 CL I have (1) 10" KICKER SOLABARIC SUB that rocks but the box is too damn big. And again, Nice WORK!

 

I don't know the length of my golf clubs. I would say you could fit clubs for a person close to 6'. You would need to get some covers to protect the speakers if you want to haul a bunch of stuff around all the time though (or a net thingy)


I will do a full write up with the basics to do it. I can't give all my secrets away, then my install would be the same as everyone else. But here is a picture of the backs when I first pulled them out.

 

 

Good Work man! very professional

 

looks real sweet!

you should really make a few in your spare time and sell them.......

 

Yeah, CJ, you should do that... : )

 

Hey CJ, what do you have securing the subwoofer box to the wheel well? When you take hard turns, does it come loose at all? I'm considering a similar install but want to avoid it coming loose and destroying my trunk.

 

I think I will !!!

The box holds itself in. It only goes in and comes out 1 way. Very very tight fit. It stays right where its suppose to without anything holding it.

These aren't "cheap." The construction process is a bit time consumming to get them to fit perfectly and to make them strong enough to take being abused by an amplified subwoofer consistantly.

 

i think a sub on one side with an amp on the other would look SICK. no wires!

if i ever deicide to drop a mild system, i will be contacting you CJams

 

replace them with gas springs that is what I did. The total bill is like $55 for everything.

How much would you charge to make two boxes like that and ship them. I am looking to do a little more layed back look for my JDM car.

 

I was originally going to put a sub on one side and the amp on the other. So I made boxes for both sides to decide which side I wanted the speaker on. Then I got addicted to the dual set up.

I may replace the torsion bars with the gas springs later. We will see.

 

CJams,
Nice setup! I’d like to listen to your subwoofer setup since I also live in Washington. If it sounds good can I buy a similar custom enclosure from you? You mentioned that a 12” sub would probably work on the passenger side, that’s probably something that I would want.

 

What part of WA? Do you ever go to any meets? There is a little Mt. Ranier meet this weekend. If not, pm me and we can meet up sometime and you can take a listen.

 

Please Don't Ask To Buy My Boxes Or This Thread Will Get Locked And My Pee Pee Will Get Smacked!!!! If You Want A Similar Setup Drop Me A Line And I Can Tell You How To Do It Or Put You In Contact With A "legal" Vendor.

 

Very nice setup man, I'm in the process of designing a similar setup for my 1st gen cl trunk with 2 x 12's. Just can't decide which design I'm going to go with yet. Very nice job. The carpet makes it look REAL clean

 

He's on probation....!!!
