1sickpuppy Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 I was looking on ebay for random stuff when I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-W7-Dual-JL-Audio-Ported-Subwoofer-Box-8w7-Sub-Enclosure-8-Inch-Vented-Blk-/320976142754?pt=Car_Subwoofers_Enclosures&hash=item4abbab41a2 it's a box made specifically for a pair of 8W7's. I was thinking I could use it for my VVX8's? It's 2 cubic feet and tuned to 34hz. My VVX's displace more then the W7 so i would lose a little box volume but I'm going to be slightly overpowering them anyway. I know most people will say build my own box. I just wanted to know of this box or similar size box would work with my VVX's?

Torres Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 barf. port is too thin for my liking too. and who's to say their box stats are correct? you could be buying something way off. but if 80 dollars is worth the risk then go for it
Torres Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 and the carpet on the port looks horrid. just cut and wrapped into the port. and no pics of the bottom/back of the box

alaskanzx5 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Posted October 16, 2012 you can build a box for 2 12s for less. none the less a box for 2 8s, 40-50 in material and you could have your own box made by you. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
Endgame Posted October 16, 2012 Report Posted October 16, 2012 One thing a prefab will never give you aside from good sound and custom fit , is the satisfaction and pride of building it your self.popping the trunk and being all like " Yeah I did it Myself " Trust No One
