kingsuv Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 not quite sure but I think kingsuv did this once, but i could be remember incorrectly. Yes I did, but when I did i had the plans to cover it in Plexi. I never got around to it before a scraped the box It's not the vibrations I would be worried about in the box but the air pressure from the subs. It not hard to have 155-170DB in the box Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It not hard to have 155-170DB in the box that is another thing that crossed my mind....i know there is insane amounts of pressure inside boxes and that prolly wouldnt be the best for an amp?

tejcurrent Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The only problem I see with it is if your box flexes much. If you fasten closer to the edges or even if your box doesn't really flex I think you'll have a much better time with it in the long run. What cant fit under the seat is on my box. Honestly the sub box gets about the least vibrations of anywhere in my car. Quote tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewes Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm sure this has been recommended already, but I use that rubber/carpet fiber material that is used under big carpets to keep it from sliding around. Its pretty thick and it works pretty damn well. Just cut it to the size of the amp, double side tape it on, then mount the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applejack Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 to me thats just one less step in someone jacking my shit, if they want my amp they're gonna have to work for it, bolted down to the floor. im even thinking of bolting my box down as well. (been robbed twice, paranoid me) 1st time was with no alarm, second dumbass friend left window open. im even thinking of some kind of bike lock for my sub to my box after its bolted down...it may seem excessive but i really dont like losing my stuff i work hard for.

Thewes Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'll give whoever takes my 500 pound box/amp/speaker conglomeration a standing ovation if they manage to get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 if you double layer the wood...i think it multiplies the stiffening value (forget the actual term) of the wood by 8. so that'd help with vibrations. i double layered mine, and have 6 or 7 layers of fatmat between them for a lil extra stiffening. plus bracing all around in the box also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourlug Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I kinda like the mounting inside box idea to save space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
