Fiberglass boxes for TSX trunk
Here are some pictures of the fiberglass boxes we are doing for TSX trunks. This is a DLS 10" (the same model Sergeremi used). Some of you got to hear it at the Seattle meet.

This box can be molded with or without the trunk tray, and requires no mods to the car other than the industrial velcro we recommend to hold it in place during HARD lefts.

I heard this bad boy on Saturday at the Acura meet in Seattle and I gotta say IT ROCKS! You wouldn't think that it would be as loud as it is, but it is loud. It form fits to the trunk and barely takes up any space what so ever! You can even keep your trunk tray in there. I was very impressed with it!

We estimate it at about 0.65 or 0.7 cf before the woofer is inserted. It's about 0.5 after most woofer magnet/frame displacements (beefier 10's are usually around 0.15)..
The way to measure this, BTW, is to get some granular laundry detergent and measure how many cups it takes to fill the enclosure.
We haven't done that, we've just estimated it. But that's the "right" way : )

Oh, loaded, I charge much lower prices, but I try not to go on the board after drinking...
Lemme verify how much we had in materials into it and I'll post it for all. Sorry, forgot to do that.

I was going to make the same box, but since you made it maybe you could pop out a bunch and sell them since I seem to always be busy with the kids. How much?

E,
I wish I had seen this post sooner, I just moved from Seattle to Phoenix and drove through Portland. This box looks realy nice and is exsactly what I would be looking for. Can you provide the following details when time permits:
1. I would asume that any 10" sub would fit correct.
2. how deep is the box, (so I buy the right sub).
3. If I was to buy this, what would be the best methoid to mount it in my trunk beside Velcro. I was thinking something like: http://www.correctproducts.com/corre...opup/1.6.9.gif
3.5 What would you recomend be the max wattage for this box. (So I dont wire a 2000W amp to it and shatter it)
4. How much will you be selling this for.
5. How much does it weight. (So I can figure shipping)
6. Do you have some mesurements. (So I can figure shipping)

If you buy it with a DLS woofer the grille comes with many of their mid and high level drivers. We give you a deal with the woofer and a box together, by the way - for this box with this woofer in it, $500. For this box with a W310B woofer in it (think W3 level with a rubber surround) figure $450. For this box with an Ultimate DVC Loooong-throw UR10, figure $650.
With a matching fabric-covered grille that press-fits over the woofer, figure an additional $100.
For a 12" box, figure $500. For the 12" version of this woofer, figure $550.

BTW, the woofer in this box weighs 10 lbs also, for reference.

Thanks for the quick answer, I will probalby go with Diamond Audio Sub's as I want to match timber and like the sound of the new D6:
http://www.diamondaudio.com/products...&line=2&model=
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...781389098&rd=1
They are not as efficient as other subs, but properly powered they sound great.
Would it be possible to get some hi-res pic's of this from different angles?

Mounting Depth/Diameter: 5.6 in. / 9.2 in. should be ok than correct?

Would it be possible to make a figerglass box in the corner with about 1.25 cubic ft of airspace? Or would it be way too big to fit in the corner?
