    Created By

    Shay Wiggins, Why-Wear

    More Info

    For those of you who don’t know, Carthage has a

    fairly new outreach ministry by the name of Why-Wear. This

    ministry is only a few years old but is growing by leaps and

    bounds. God has met us at every turn and blessed us

    tremendously. We are however still in a time of growing, and

    with that comes a lot of expenses. We are going to be hosting

    a Cruise In as a fun, family oriented way to raise some extra

    funds for our ministry. We want everyone to be able to attend

    so we are keeping it as simple as possible, and just $5 to enter

    a vehicle and $5 for a plate of food. There will be a people’s

    choice award to be voted on as well.

    For further information about our ministry check us

    out online at www.Why-Wear.com or feel free to contact one

    of us directly. Thank you for your time, and may God bless

    you and yours. If you have any questions or concerns you may

    contact us at [email protected].

    love it with no emblems and trim looks clean be badass to shave those handles later down the road :P

    What ya use to take all the molding off if you dont mind me asking.

    I used fishing line in between the molding/badges and the body, just pulled it through the glue using a saw motion. Then a 3M Stripe Off wheel from NAPA, it worked awesome. And some adhesive remover. My buddy owns a detail shop and is going to buff it all out for me, the molding left some small scratch type lines on the truck, I'm guessing from original install. But they are very light and can be buffed no problem.

    Thanks for the compliments guys.

    This past Monday I drove home my first brand new ride. Bought a 2011 Chevy Texas Edition crew cab 2wd. I freaking love it so far. I do have a build planned but it just take some time. I have a few other things I want to do first. Like tint, 4/7 drop, and exhaust.

    Fixing to drive it home:

    Now I have to figure out what to do with this box that I built for my GTI

    No system yet but it is coming I promise, hopefully in a couple of months. Plans are for 4 SA-8's under the rear seat.

    Screw it, I just scrapped the whole idea and will be building a box for one Fi BTL 12" until I can lose my backseat for a wall.

    single 12"

    2.85 cubic ft.

    16.57 sq. inches port area per foot

    35.25 Hz.

    Double baffled and all thread bracing

    FYI, I have never ran anything except for RF and TOBY(in bandpass).

    Thanks for the help and input guys, when I start on the box I'll start a build log.

    PS, I will be doing the big 3, and hopefully upgrading the alt. as soon as I can find one.

    Haha, I don't have pics yet, I haven't bought the wood yet either. That will be next weekend.

    However......I have come to a possible sure design.

    Box dimensions:

    Height- 14

    Width- 38

    Depth- 18

    Slot port

    Port Area per foot- 15.06

    Common Walls- 3

    Port height- 12.5

    Port Width- 4

    Port length- 24

    Box net volume before displacement- 3.32cu.ft.

    Tuning freq.- 36.87

    Now just trying to figure what what I can and can't run in this box, I can fit one 18" on the top. It would be tight but it would fit. BUT I have never ran an 18, so...I don't really what kind of volume is required for one.

    One more question, the port will be 2-3" from the back hatch door, will this be ok?

    Still playing with dimensions, can't figure it out though, every time I add port area(on several different designs) I have to add so much length to the ports to get the tuning down. I never knew building a box the right with(calculating port area) would be such a pain.

    Does anyone think maybe I am trying to tune too low? I don't have a lot of experience making and tuning boxes so input would be great.

    Car- VW GTI 2door

    Music- Everything but country and classical

    I don't honestly know why I have been stuck on the 32-34 Hz tuning. Also I don't if the size of the car makes a difference.

    Thanks

    Hello, it has been a few years since I have had some bass in a ride. I have built a few boxes, but didn't build them right, got in a rush, didn't have good knowledge, didn't ask for advice, etc.

    So I want to run two 15" AQ HDC315's. Downloaded the infamous Torres calculator and came up with this.

    Dimensions: Height-22"

    Width-36"

    Depth-20"

    Specs: Ports- Two 6" aeroports, 13" long for each one

    Port Area- 56.52 sq. inches

    Net Volume- 6.84 cu. ft.(sub displacement not included)

    Tuned 34.04 Hz

    Extra Baffle- 1

    Am I missing anything? Is the box too small? I can't go much bigger without doing a wall. I have 3.42cu.ft. for each sub(before displacement). I am open to suggestions, this will be going in the cargo hatch of an 09 GTI 2door.

    Any help, or helpful criticism is appreciated. I'm guessing that the calculator is planning me installing subs and ports facing towards the back of the car?

    BTW, I plan on starting the box this weekend. The full build will probably take me a year due to wife's college, kids, two car notes, and saving for a house.

    Thanks

    Dustin
