I think it's about time to finish up my sound system and the last thing I need to do(besides install components), is build a sub box. I've built many in the past and I have all the tools so I'm wondering how many people would be interested in making a day out of it.

IIRC 4'x8' 3/4" MDF(wood) should be about $30 (way more than enough for 2 boxes depending on design), Add in $5 for screws and probably $10-$15 for upholstery. We should be able to minimize costs and maximize efficiency by doing this as a group.

In:
1. Me
2. f20c1 01s2k <- Can do Sat or Sun
3. S2K Jimbo <- Can do Sat or Sun
4. 1FAST S2K <- Can do Sat or Sun
5. marknconnie (has truck) <- Can do Sat or Sun
6. Asura <- ???

Spectators:
1. 8D_In_Trunk
2. kayvan_pour
3. AsianQing
4. arrrmand
5. beanolo <- Can do Sat or Sun
6. s4play <- Can't do Sat
7. Box
8. gary_phd
9. JsAP1

Maybe:
1. s2kgirl2k3

Want a box but can't make it:

Need someone to bring a circular saw!

 

I be down, but i haven't got any stereo components yet.

 

Time permitting, I'd like to watch/help.

 

yea..ill help out if need or just watch. just finished my fiberglass box couple of days ago. isnt the best lookin one..but it was my first time messing with fiberglass. and plus..it does the job!

 

i'm with stupi....i mean...brian

 

lemme know when and where and ill be there!

 

I'm thinking of something like this:



But the displacement might be higher than I want...

 

hmm..i might want another box if this one has more air space then the one i got right now.

 

i am down, i can put in on the materials. I just got my car and have been thinking about having a shop custom my sub box. hit me up if your down to do this.

 

For the people that are interested, what type of subs are you planning to use? It is important to make the box the right size for your sub(s) and music tastes. The design I posted for a 12" sub is targeted to maximum SPL and accurate sound quality but may be too small for some brands/models. If anyone is interested in a bandpass design, take a look at Polk Audio's website and see if you like any of these setups:

I made one like this for my integra and it was great:



Don't think it will fit in the S though
