zachfowler222 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 i just want to know how they sound......the only one i have heard is in my dads friend's escalade and it was 2 15s and it sounded like shit! they used to sound good when he had a wooden box. do all fiberglass boxes sound bad or did he have a fucked up one made?

bassl0va Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you make sure it is thick enough and that it is tuned correctly and has the correct air space it should be the same.

If it was for midrange and wasn't adequately thick it could make it sound strange. but for bass I would think it would be kinda hard to tell the difference. Does it flex when the bass hits?

zachfowler222 Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 idk i didnt really look at it when it was playing but it prolly wasnt a inch thick....a local shop built it so they prolly just threw it together and told him it was but it really didnt sound good at all!

Torres Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 a properly designed fiberglass box can sound as good as a properly designed wooden box. same way with a poorly designed fiberglass/wooden box. chances are, his box was poorly designed. timmy aka groundpounder2k2 (who has just reappeared here) had 6 memphis 15's sealed in his cavalier and i believe was hitting around 153 decibels on the TL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight_65 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 My caddy's and homies fiberglass enclosure's sound great! It must not be thick enough or is possibly poorly built. Pics of said enclosure if any. Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the shop probably ripped him off. It's probably only a few layers thick and it probably isn't even tuned to what they said. They probably overcharged him too. But yeah, see if it flexes when playing.
