The New Subwoofer box FS thread

[StereoInstaller1]

Luke, what size is the sealed 10? Can I get a thin sealed 10?

Patrick, I have no clue how the "Zen" edition is gonna work out. Next week, I am gonna get hold of a car with the Zen brace installed in it, and get some careful measurements.

Hopefully, there is enough space to get this to fit, just don't know.

The ported 10" box (largest 10" box) is only 4" at the top...as in, 15" from the floor, the box is only 4" deep, measured from the vertical braces.

How will the 10" perform behind m3 seats if the ports fire into them?

The car we are doing first has a normal late model seat, as in full foam padding. We are gonna cut out about 3" of padding, so it will basically be that same (or just a bit thicker) than the M3 seat.

Since 100% of the bass is sealed into the cab, ports and all, it should just rock. Cannot quite tell from here, though. I just don't do guessing well. I like to know from firsthand experience!

I can tell you this...that box is nice and small. Hit up JParker, he has the prototype in his trunk right now, only partially finished.

I'm excited, I want one.

Yuppers...except your 10" sub is actually a 12, so that might be some hassle.

I can get a normal 10 and 2) 3" ports through the ski boot...but 2) 3" ports are actually a bit big for a normal 10. We are gonna build with 2) 2" ports first, then see what it sounds like.

I don't follow how my 10 is actually a 12, but I trust you so do whatever you want.

Measure a 10" woofer, then go measure your beast...Image Dynamics says 11.9" across the face.

Is their tech wrong?

I think he gave you the wrong measurement. Is that diameter from Edge to Edge or the size of the hole needed to sit the sub in?

I am assuming edge to edge. I'll measure it, as I have not yet sent it in to be repaired.

Please do, as the spec their sheet gave me shows 11.9" outside diameter.....this could be a major disaster stopped in its tracks...

alright I'll run out to my dads place where the sub is being stored and measure it this week sometime.

[DrMcDave]

I measure it at 11" across the face. Looks like the hole needs to be 10" or maybe a little smaller. You may want to give them a call back.

[StereoInstaller1]

Yup, got updated specs.

OK, R3V, first 3 should ship tomorrow, I am headed back north.

Gotta work on Saturday, next day off John Parker and I build 6 more.

PM me for PayPal info. Should ship friday, worst case, next tuesday.

Luke

[StereoInstaller1]

More news, I forgot some important shit, so not gonna ship until tuesday next week.

3 V2 boxes are basically ready.

We are gonna do 6 10" boxes total, 2 are already sold, so 4 are available.

the 10" boxes are $150, the V2 boxes are $175.

Shipping is USPS, takes for freeking ever, no tracking either...but is typically $35ish vs. $125 for Fed-Ex. Figure right at 50 pounds, you should be able to fake it.

Luke

Sealed, E28, Zen, E36 and E46 are all still in the works.

Luke:
The V2 boxes are the ones that port into the rear deck right? If that is so, I still want one. I would also like it if you would post or PM some suggestions for a sub.
Thanks, Chuck

Chuck, the issue is that with so damn many choices out there, and matching the woofer impedance to the amplifier, I could spend all day just answering that same question!

Pick an amp, I will help you with the woofer.

If you choose a mono (1 channel) amp that makes its best power on a 2 ohm load, I have a beast (by beast, I maean a fucking BEAST of a BIG sub) available pretty damn cheap. Ask Beirbrenner about the one he has...

But yeah, the V2 is all we have plans on right now.

piss. just saw this post after i posted. sorry to bother you with the same ole "which sub do you recommend" shit. i'm running a RF 800.2 to run the sub. the specs say 200wx2 @ 4ohm, 400wx2 @ 2 ohm, & 800wx1 @ 4ohm. does that fucking beast of a big sub have a 4ohm variant? or is there any way to run that amp into a mono 2 ohm load (i don't know shit about that stuff). thanks again for all the audio help you provide to the forum...
