I built this enclosure back in either 99 or 2000. I can not remember. I originally had a store bought enclosure and woke up one day with it missing. I then decided to build something that would make it hard to be taken without knowing how it went in. So box shown here requires that you go in at an angle to clear the interior panels. The front seats have to be moved all the way forward. Once the rear of the box clears the plastic interior in the hatch area it will slide back into place.
Box dimensions are 36"x37"x9". I used 3/4 mdf. I believe each chamber to be 1.22 cubes before the sub.
First subs were a Circuit City Special. 2 Pairs of JBL 12's I think I paid $100.00 for each pair. LOL The first amp was a Kenwood KAC-746. I kept having problems with the thermal protection kicking in at 2ohm load on each channel. I then came across a Alpine MRV-100m for CHEAP.
Now fast forward to 2010. I still have the car. Not really sure why being that I have 4 mustangs, a Z06, Dodge Diesel Dually to pull the car dyno, and a ford ranger to pull the bike dyno. I have like my little probe. Car is still fun to me to drive. However I am in need of a little more boom. I posted on a local sport bike forum that I was looking for a bigger amp. One of my customers was selling an Alpine V12 AccuClass-D MRD M1000 Amplifier for $150.00. Seemed like a good amp for the money. In went the amp and right away I noticed a big difference in the sound quality with the JBL's. However I still wanted more. I then made a phone call to the guy who does my tinting and asked him what he saw people using at the shops he does tinting for. He suggested RE, American Bass, and DD. I did my research and found that RE had subs that would work good with my enclosure that I already had. I then placed an order for 4 of the RE SRX D4 12's and this is where I am now. More bass then I really need. I can not get over how well bass tones between 20hz and 30 hz sounds. It is now time for some new mid's and highs.
Couple random pics of my junk.
Now all I need to do is decide on how to finish the box.
Out with the old subs
And in with the new
