My DIY stealth sub box

[Dozer360]

Thanks guys
I still need to fix the amp in properly (it cuts out when I go round corners for some reason)

perhaps the wires are pulling and not making the connection ?

provided you learn from my mistakes it shouldn't take too long to make one, just get at least 3 times the amount of fiberglass you think you will need, and have proper tools / work space.

I want one!

It was one of the connections on the inside of the terminals, it was just crimped a bit before as I was in a rush to get it working before it got dark, all re crimped and tightens up now.



Does anyone know if i can I just use the insides of an old pillow as the box Wool stuff?

when ever i had boot builds by sextons , they never filled the boxes with anything

other than that have you seen anyone local filling cavity walls ?

thats very small wool type stuff ask if u can have a small bag

it may not have been needed but I think my box is a bit too small for the speaker.

why you should have the correct size box

lol... you was warned about this by many of us at the begining buddy... you learn by your mistakes, and improve the next versions... lol

 

[Dozer360]

Does anyone know if porting the box would help stop some of the pressure buildup in the box? Or would it lessen the sound too much?

 

[hainez]

now this is where you need to build the box to the specification of the sub woofer... it all depends on what the sub woofer needs, but yes porting your box will reduce this risk, but you'll also need to work out how much venting you'll need for the size of your box ie size of vent port...

Did you ever work out the size of the box?

no , i just built is so it didn't stick out in the boot too much

 

[MarkWales]

you could use polystyrene ball to measure its capacity.
