Sub box for a 15inch Nightshade

[bobonit 5]

lmao how did you know? lol!! i wonder if this will effect my re-sell value? or maybe the 305,000km or 190,000 miles on my cars engine will effect the value more? lol!!

o nice build log btw! looks good!

I was in the same boat as you. Plenty of room in the trunk for the enclosure, but too damn small of a trunk opening to put it in. Had to cut to get in through the back seat. Your cuts came out real nice, good job. My car has a metal plate that I took out, I left enough screw holes to put it back, won't even see the cuts after its back in.

Look really nice, now where are the pictures of the box in the car?

As i read the thread i got really worried when the power tool was posted becasue if you cant measure you boot first you shouldnt be allowed to use power tools...

But it looks like it turned out really well

I will get some pics after i get this box carpeted! but i will tell you this! it is a really tight fit, just the way i like it! tight like a tiger lol!!

and yes i actualy didn't measure my trunk opening b/c well i got caught up in the moment on making a box lol!! lucky i was able to pull out my back seat and make the mod all within about 2hours!! other then that it is all good and you will not even not a think! lol!

And the best part is i found out why i was hearing a constant wine-ing noise when my car was on! it was my fricken fuel pump lol! so i guess i need this sub so drowned out that noise lol! i dont' even know how i can hear it but i can!

plus on say monday i will be installing my 6.5 component (zapco) speakers in the rear...somehow lol!

Why are you putting components in the rear?

b/c they are smaller then 6x9's! lol! and i just happened to get a good deal on another pair of zapco so i siad sure why not! let see what happens! (is it dump to have a pair of comps in the rear?)

It's pretty pointless. The goal is to have all the sound in front of you.

crap now i have to find a new place to put the tweeter lol! and yes that makes sense b/c the bass from this sub will just KILL the sound coming out of the component set.. crap this sucks, looks like i am looking for a new place now maybe the rear doors..um maybe! but then it still isn't in front of me! i will figure something out i guess!

thanks for your input Durran

Alrighty i just got evenything installed and it is looking pretty decend not to shaddy! all i have left for tomrrow is to put the power to the amps and hope everything turns on!

Once the new SAZ2000 amp arrives i will be mounting that amp on the front of my sub box and selling those killer sae1000d amps!! and i think that will clean up a lot of clutter! or if the amp is small enough i will jsut put it on the back of my sub box by the SAX100.4 amp! who knows!

The only major disapointment is how my sub box turned out. i plan to get a scrap piece of carpet and just hot glue it to the top of the box so you don't see the little piece of mdf lol! other then that i think eveything went pretty good! but ya let me know what you guys think of and comments are VERY welcome along with tips of any kind! Enjoy the pics!

well i am VERY unimpressed with how NOT loud this sub is...

the 2 sae strapped aren't doing the trick. 1200rms at 4ohm=no bang, like the sub barely moves over 1/4inch so i KNOW i need more rms to this sub to make it shine COMON SAZ2000

After impedance rise I wouldn't be surprised if you are seeing 3-6 ohms per amp at most frequencies

2000D FTW
