So I already have a system but Im redoing it before the spring I had two 10s and two 12s but I think im just keeping my two 10s and doing to fiberglass boxed wit a custom amp rack


Im not sure how im going to do my enclosures placement what not or even if im going to fiber glass, so this is where I need help I would like to see other peoples setups for inspiration doesnt matter what kind of car you have TSX, TL, CL etc

thanks in advance

MrFluffy

ok ill guess I will go first BTW this my old setup Im looking to do somthing much cleaner !!

The 10s are P2s, right? I built a nice little sealed box for my buddy's 2 10s awhile back. Here's a pic of it:


That setup worked well for him, but he didn't like the way it sat in the car, and I guess it was cutting it too close to the backseats for his tastes, so now he's rebuilding for a different sub setup.

Other setups I've done:

2 10s in a 4th order, forward firing:



2 10s ported, tuned low, forward firing:


Single 12 ported, tuned at 36hz, rear firing (ignore the wiring mess, this setup was SPL only):


Single 12 ported, tuned at 33hz, rear firing:


Same box, but what you saw from the cabin:


And in the car:



Hope that helps...

Daamn those subs look rough.

MrFluffy

I like the first one I was thinking of doing something completly built in to the floor, add maybe just the depth of the sub, I already my amp rack built into the spare tire

MrFluffy

I like the duct tape one lol, not much Inspiration as far as looks go but knowing you I bet the SQ is very good, but it help a little

Maybe I should post SPL numbers for each setup, along with amp(s) used. If you have any questions about any of the setups, feel free to ask. I'm more than willing to help as much as I can.

4th order did a 141.7db at 52hz with 1kw clamped power. Amp is a Sundown 1500D wired at .5 ohms, rising to 1.5 ohms. I'm not sure of input voltage since my buddy forgot his DMM so we couldn't measure all 3 things (DC input, AC output voltage, AC output current). Battery is an XS Power D2400 (larger than the older D5100R that I was using).

Duct tape box did 137.8 at 32hz with the same Sundown 1500D wired at .5 ohms. Pretty sure the rise was around 1.6-1.8 ohms. On ~500w, the setup would play music in the ~133db range. Battery was an XS Power D5100R (smaller than the D2400).

Forgot to mention the single 15 setup I had for a couple weeks. It did a 138.3 (IIRC) with a Brutus BXI-2407 wired at 1 ohm. This was a very temporary setup, especially since all of the gear was borrowed...

Single 12 SPL box did 138.8db at 43hz. Amp was an Orion 1200D wired at 1 ohm. Not the slightest clue on power output or anything else.

Single 12 plexi box did a 137.7db at 43hz. Amp was the same Orion 1200D wired at 1 ohm, and again no idea on power output.

For sure the last 2 boxes have been my favorites, with the duct tape one would flex with windshield a bit, but was rather hard on voltage while doing it. The 4th order will flex the windshield the same amount, if not more while holding better voltage. The 4th order doesn't get as low as the duct tape box, but it's still extremely solid...

I knew they put up crazy numbers I never doubted that LOL

I think Im going to do two sperate boxs out of fiber glass on the sides, and then keep my custom amp rack in the spare tire, because I just got started and it doesnt look that great and already someone siad they loved it

If you ask me, any project for your car is all about what you think. If you're not happy with it, I'd redo it... I know I redo anything I'm not happy with, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Most people would've been happy with my 1st audio setup in this car, but I wasn't, so I rebuilt over and over and over until I'm happy...

MrFluffy

Thats what Im doin, But Im going for a different look CLEANER is the key to the new build and lighter. More Go

I enjoy bass, but my CL is my daily driver and having room for groceries, sports gear,etc is important. Hence, I went for the "clean, have almost all your trunk left" look. Alpine 5-channel amp driving front separates, rear 6x9s, and 1-10" sub. All controlled by my DSP.



I'll probably end up running the rear speakers underneath the carpet and up the sides to give it a cleaner look.

This is my temp setup until I fiberglass

MrFluffy

Those are really clean setups gives me some ideas , thanks
