Hopefully I'll be the first to post pics and results.

Hopefully you won't be the only buyer!

Guys, the car is here NOW.

If you want a box, get on it NOW.

So I'm confused...you sell the box, and we buy subs and an amp and set it up?

So I'm confused...you sell the box, and we buy subs and an amp and set it up?

Precisely. You are not confused at all. The price includes the box and the porting kit. Installation will be the diffucult part on all of these. Precise cutting is required, if you are in any way unsure of your skills, have them cut by a pro, best done with a plasma cutter.

There will be 3 ways to buy:

1st, partially finished, where only the woofer side is carpeted, so the foam gasket stays in place. You can figure out how to make it pretty, if you choose to.

2nd, fully upholstered, so you can mount your amps directly on the back of the box. This is much better looking...but trying to make it look "finished" is tough. There are pics in this thread showing that.

3rd, fully upholstered plus the amp rack...which is the part I am currently working on.

The amp rack will be lit with an LED strip and cool the amps with a fan, since it has a plexiglass window, like this:



By the way, I am close enough to feel confident that these will be ready to sell soon, so I am taking deposits.

PM me or better yet email me for details: sales@germanaudiospecialties.com

Thanks!

Like this?

Yeah that looks great, way better than having an amp sticking out of the side of the quarter panel lol... But I think I can get away with just 2 amps after thinking about it.
Give me a call when you can I'm gonna try to mash all this in the car soon, except for the subs. I bought those before I realized I was an idiot, endless you can work some magic to get one in the car.

Luke, gonna go audition a DD1508 tonight, I know I was talking twin 8w7's but From what I've gathered; the W7 is better on paper and the 1508's are better in play. The question is, can we port the box AND get the port in the cabin? The 1508's do best in a vented enclosure.

[StereoInstaller1]

John, this design is neither ported or sealed, it is a true bandpass enclosure.

I will mock that driver up later today. The Type R is looking pretty good, but that TC "Epic" is not gonna fly. It has the worst output I have ever seen...81db for 1 watt? Hell no, that will not fly at all.

Give me a call later today if you can.

[John T]

What's a good time to reach you, I just tried to give you a call a dew minutes ago,
I was under the impression you sealed the box and sealed it up against the cabin and used the cabin to complete the 4th order,
Is this a 6th order box that you are building?

[John T]

Alrighty,, I paid a visit to Jim at Streamline in Vancouver Wa and got my DD 1508's. Streamline is the only dealer for these anywhere in this area.
These two little guys should be plenty for me, Jim demo'd his single 1508 in his personal car for me. Damn, on a 1000w this little sub does it dirty.
I'm so excited to get this box made, time for some Lukeness!!!!
