westvan_dude Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Can't find shit on the net on this subject. Anybody build a subwoofer enclosure out of aluminum? Yup, I know, metal has resonance. However I'd build it from 1/4" plate with a 1" rib every few inches and line the inside with stick on dampening material. My aluminum welding is getting real good and I was toying with the idea vs stinky messy fiberglass which is option #2. If you've done one please post pics or a link, etc. I've got a real unique shape to do under my F250's rear seat. I've seen the 1/4 wave pipes, etc that are interesting but this would be conventional with possibly a removable port so I can play with port size/tuning.

Skullz Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm sure you could but i think with it being so acoustically live that it won't sound so good, but really only one way to find out.

baaudio Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I think it would work. But ya throw a couple layers of deadener in it to help with acoustics. The shop I work for does a demo for sound deadener with a 12 in a aluminum garbage can with and without the can lined in deadener. I think it would be similar but 1/4" is good size Edited April 16, 2010 by baaudio Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmzsuzuki89 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Sounds interesting. If you try it start a build log and let us know how it does.
