zrkie Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks interesting, keep the work coming If u don't mind suggestions, I've seen a number of times boxes which do not 'connect' properly to the cabin gain. Ie, they do a lot of work for little sound. The suggestion I have is to locate the sub to the very far end of the luggage compartment, for it to hit the "endpoint" of the cabin. If that is too much out of your plans - at least make the box/woofer fire backwards. Subs up, port up etc, work fine when u've enclosures that are placed at the far rear of the cabin - but loose A LOT of SQ/depth/heaviness when moved in a position closer to the rear seat. good luck Don't like sharing your knowledge? Welll.. Don't come here and grab others then! - GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im trying to keep everything below window line.

Audio-Concepts Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 What kind is spray did you use to tint them? I used Nason 496-00 clear coat with activator and tinted it using Spies/Hecker 527 transparent black that I put directly into the clear coat. This basically tints the clear and you can decide overall darkness by how many coats you put on.

baron_of_bass Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 So you applied the tint, and then the clear coat right? Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio-Concepts Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I ran into a small issue after baking so I sanded down and had some areas the went through so I had to reclear. Now these are dark...but still transparent where there should be no issues.

Audio-Concepts Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 So you applied the tint, and then the clear coat right? Nope...I literally put 15grams of transparent black tinting agent into a 100gram cup of clear...mixed and sprayed. Your clear will look black...but when you spray it will still be transparent.
