Hey guys, felt like sharing a custom sub enclosure my brother and I have been working on for the past couple of months. We had lots of fun and it was good bonding time. I think it turned out pretty good considering we've never done this type of stuff before. We had a mentor who kinda made sure we didn't make any fatal errors but were pretty much left on our own.

Specs:

Alpine 9857
Rockford Components
Rockford 4 ch 450 W amp (spare tire well)
dB 8" subwoofer (probably going to swap out for a JL 8")

Overall the sound is pretty good with the top up, but little soft with the top down. Going to build a diffuser to come up over the sub to give the sub something to bounce air off of.


Feedback welcome!

Very unique. Well done!

 

wow. very nicely done

 

Looks very good! How is the bass response when the top is down?

 

Very cool Nice work for your first time!

 

with the top down the bass is a little washed out, but you can still feel it from the seat shaking. I hope the diffuser will help by giving the sound something to reflect off of. It will probably be the same shape as the opening, but hover around 1.5-2 inches above the speaker. Oh and it will probably be made of carbon fiber :-)
