I am going to be building a box for my W7. I am most likely going to use fiberglass for the box

The sub unported requires 1.2 cu/ft and ported requires 1.5cu/ft.

I want to get as much as much spl out of the sub that I can since it is only going to be one 10". I was considering porting the box.

Any ideas?

 

goodluck!

wouldnt recc. fiberglass..
that subs pretty powerful..
considering it needs a double wall for the face on a normal mdf enclosure!

 

why would fiberglass be no good? The sub would crack it? Or just not good for sound?

 

I would like to know this as well.

 

it'll crack... but if you went with an 8'' you'll be fine... if your going to do the 10 I strongly suggest at leassstt 8-10 layers of fiberglass matt , followed by a layer or 2 of Rage gold (stonger bondo)

 

I was only planning on fiberglass so I could get the most space possible out of the tool area in the trunk.

Would I just be better off using MDF? If so what thickness?

 

BTW, I already bought the 10"

 

12w7 > 10w7 . i made the box myself.

its a little less than 1/4 in. thick fiberglass, and double baffeled 3/4 mdf.

only problem is the lack of trunk space.

 

man....isnt that a little unnecessary? Your car must slam. Nice work though.

 

by double baffle he means that there's 2 peices of 3/4'' MDF put together to make the front - the part the sub is screwed to.
