The New Subwoofer box FS thread

Ackshully, yes.

I have some piss poor measurements, taken in the dark by cell phone light, using a piece of paper as a ruler.

Might end up being a single 8, ported. I just have no clue yet!

Nice fucking brace, BTW.

Luke

Sweet! Thanks for doing this. A single 8 is better than no subs at all. So in.

Luke, I think I have changed my mind on not cutting to get some bass in my vert. Let me know if you need it for measuring or visualizing or whatnot...I don't want the car to be the guinea pig for chopping it up, but yeah...it's free to use if you'll be nice to it and you know I'm nearby!

VERT BOX!!! You have approximately 5 people from reading this thread that want a high quality Vert Subwoofer box! Thats DEMAND , but where is the SUPPLY? Switch it up and make the next run for us VERT guys!

I am down for one if its within the next few weeks.

dual 8's?

vert box?

[StereoInstaller1]

500 RMS is pretty damn loud, JParker is runnign the single 10 box in 140RMS and his is pretty damn decent...

Basically 100 watts you will feel, 1000 watts and you will smoke woofers, so some where in the middle makes things very nice.

PS: your box left yesterday. Details in the PM box shortly.

Luke, I'm at a loss... I haven't a clue where to begin with my system build. What kind of power should I look for with regards to the amp?

[StereoInstaller1]

E36 is gonna be a few weeks (in Luke time that means like 2013, after Rvvpocalypse) since some guys keep whining something about verts...and E28 guys are next.

[Rodoni]

Hey Luke my brother wants to know about the e36 coupes. Hes anxious for his M3. lol. LMK!

Luke's boxes are cheaply made with terrible SQ. The box he made for my E39 1/2 sounded like 2 cats mating inside a plastic bag, inside a paper bag, inside a trash can. Don't purchase from this shady dealer, he won't reply to your messages and leaves the light on when he leaves if he takes you home.

BIG L!! My nig. Thought I'd drop a line and say hi, hope that entertained you enough. Hope WA is better than being across from Dunk's. All the posters here know this already, but Luke is a car stereo God, and literally I have a small gold statue I worship before any install, towel included.

Hi Tim, welcome to R3V!

Mounting depth is pretty damn big, like 7.5" or so, so basically damn near anything.

The airspace on the 12" box is 2.0 cubic feet, the tuning is 32Hz, so it works very well for woofers with a Qtc under .45 and a fairly low Fs, like under 30Hz.

As far as an actual choice for woofer, it is also dependent on the amp, as you want to make sure you show the amp the impedance it makes the most power at.

The JBL woofers sound great, the Memphis work really well (M1 especially), Exile (of course) and many many others. This is a very easy design to work with. If you are OK with a kind of "boomy" sound (that I do not care for) you could go with some of the higher Qts woofers, like the Kicker CVR or the Alpine Type R or Type S...but I would stick with a lower Q to get cleaner bass.

Luke

thanks for the info. but damnit, i had just about decided on a type R. they get great reviews in ported boxes and they're rather affordable. shit, i guess i'll keep looking.
