mikey060 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hey guys, im a regular viewer, however first time poster, of this forum and i must say am a huge fan of Steve's accomplishments. I guess i should also start of by saying that his civic build(before theft) was my inspiration for doing this build. As i am sure most a lot of you who regular ca.com as i do, that you have seen the planning stages of this box. it has gone through many different stages but fter many hours on rhino fiddling with measurements building mockups out of osb etc. i have settled on one i think will work well given my space limits. The final design i have come up with is 6.5(after port/driver disp.) tuned to 30-35hz and it will be firing forward. Reason is of course because my car loves port/sub forward. Here is the origional thread for those interested http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=218554 . I talked to Scott at fi on monday and got the sub ordered. it is fully loaded of course. Heres the design i am settled on, for now atleast. i should also mention that the reason i am not just glassing my trunk is because i dont plan on having the car for much longer since i am going to post secondary in the fall. if it doesnt work as planned, a new approach will be taked. When sub arrives, a full work log will be added alogn with plenty of videos. anyhow enough talk for now, let me know what you guys think. i guess i should add that the car is a 95 grand prix se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey060 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 thanks chev the build will be the first week of may around the time the sub should get here. i want to wait for the sub to arrive since the front panel needs to be cut in a certain way..and id rather not try to do it in the car lol. But i should be starting to cut all the wood a few days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
