Has anybody had any experience with the lucid sub enclosure? I want to know how good the fit is. It would seem that since it is custom made for the s2k that the fit would be seamless, but the photos make it appear as if there is a lip that runs around the top.

Obviously a single ten won't shake the doors off, but I do want some kind of bass, and the ten seems like a good solution given the space constraints.

 

I haven't seen Lucids but mine looks like this and people will vouch for me when I say it hit's pretty good. I have 1-10" Alpine Type-R with a single mono amp pushing about 300 watts rms. The inclosure is all fiberglass.

 

That's a gnarly set up. That's pretty much what my fantasy is for my yet to be delivered s2k.
So the ten hits plenty hard. I've got two tens in my odyssey with a pioneer 740 bridged to mono.
It can hit hard but I don't usually show off, it's a minivan after all. I like the tight speedy sound of a sealed ten, or a pair of 'em.
Do I need to build a custom fiberglass box though? It seems messy and potentially troublesome.

 

I made the box with my brother whos very good at it so for me it was a little easier. We even made the box a little heavy and a very tight fit, so it would hold itself into the well without having to screw it down.

I'd sell it to you because we just took it out and I'm changing it all around, but I hit the top of the box and put a 1" rip in the vinyl. Plus it weights about 30lbs. I suppose you could fix it by removing the old vinyl and installing a new sheet that would match your car better.

 

I PM'd ya!

Are you building a new box? Why?

 

Why.... because the car is a show car and that setup just wasn't cutting it. It was nice, the setup was very rare but this year I'm going all out with the design. using the entire trunk space. Plus my borther is very good at it so building a new setup takes time and material but I'm reusing all the same componets.

Here's the rest of the system:
Custom fit Optima:

Alpine HU:

Custom fit Alpine 177a's in the doors:

Custom fit Alpine 137a's behind the seats:


Mounted the Amps on a fiberglas panel that is attached to the deck lid:

Mounted the crossover to a rear panel:


The sub you've seen. The entire car was coompletely rewired using 14gauge 4 conductor speaker wire.

this was such a shameless plug

 

whoa.

now that's something. What you've got in the works has to be pretty sick.

 

Yeah its going to be pretty crazy...

 

Hey I will need a box for the 12w6v2 too. what shoudl i do or how much should i pay for a fiber glass custome one?

 

A full custom box will vary a lot in price, depending on how you have it done. Ported/non-ported and painted or vinyl wrapped. To copy the box here I would think would run about a couple hundred bucks.
