little rich Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Awesome subs,dont try any fancy fibreglass etc, what you need is a well built ported box making to the correct air space that the sub needs, May even need another battery as they pull a fair amount,keep us updated with any build picturesRich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little rich Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ok cool, umm have you uploaded your pictures to photobucket? if so post the link on here is they should work,as for the sub they need a fair bit of air so if your going to do it properly the whole boot will be filled with one giant ported box, (still probably not big enough for the sub) getting the box right is just as important as having a good sub or else it will sound ****, as for the amp imo id just screw the bugger to the back of the box (facing the boot) easy to work on etc and there is a little void where the boot curves to fit it in,Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oODUBOo Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thank you so much thats spot on what i would like mine to look like but a few question for you Im getting a centre exit exhaust and I'm go to have to chop half the wheel well away so thats half gone and my sub is 8" deep. plus my sub makes a creates loads of air and i need a fairly big box with and air outlet to get the best sound out of it but how did yours sound in the box if thats your car.

dubsy Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 mine sounds awesome it was built by mark turner of turners alarm and audio in sunderland who is 2 times emma world sq champion, but that comes with a heafty price tag! like little rich says you really need a large ported box to get the most out of the equipment youve got, you will also have to decide what you want the box tunned to. mine runs sealed which gives a different sound, sealed gives you hard and tight bass and generally better sound quality, while ported will wobble everything and be louder but the sound quality will suffer. you will also have to consider sound deadening otherwise the car will suffer with resonance and rattles and also upgrading your power supply 50% of how good something sounds depends on how its installed, the most expensive audio equipment in the world will sound rubbish if its not installed properly do your research you will benefit from it in the long run happy banging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODUBOo Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 how much is a heafty price tag? because its worth the money to have a boot looking like that. i don't wont it super loud just when i pull up some meets i wont it to drop. I'm still in two minds what head unit to get I was thinking of PIONEER-DEH-P88RS-II which is £400 or do i go for a double din 7" screen for around that price? what do i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
