Purplehaze Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Okay guys, so I got rained out of work today, and it barely rained! So, gotta do something, can't just set around! And since I'm waiting for a min to decide what to do on the box, can't start on it yet. So, it's laundry, or volt meter. Hmmm, decisions decisions. Laundry can wait till later tonight!

ChillMasterWill Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Box Update: Okay, so I have 2 sheets of 3/4" MDF, and a couple of Ideas on what box to build. Also, 6 weeks ago, I had fu*@ed up and bought a pre-fab from Hifisoundconnection.com. Big mistake. I got two of them in the mail so far, and refused them both b/c the cardboard was ripped and you could see damage. So after the second one I told them I'd just like to get a refund. They said that as soon as they got it back, they would set me up w/ my refund. Two weeks later, when I asked them wtf was going on, they reply:"we still have to see if UPS is going to pay for this or not". Then after another week, I contact them again, only to hear "we can either send you another one, or issue a store credit". I think that is REALLY REALLY SHITTY! But what else can I do? So I guess I'll be getting another one in the mail soon. But I've been thinking on it overnight, and this box IS almost the perfect size. It's 2.5 ft^3 per sub, and tuned @35htz. I'm just wondering: If I was to glass up the inside of the prefab, and possibly line it w/ polyfil, how that might work out? Part of the reason I'm thinking about trying this route is that I still plan on adding two more subs sometime this year, at which time a custom box will have to be built. Also, it is almost exactly the same as one of my two ideas. I hate to spend alot of time building something that I already have. So, tell me what you guys think: Should I just "refurbish the prefab"? leave the pre-fab as is especiaillay is you are building an enclosure soon and why are you wanting two more subs? just do the two and power them well, leave your back as intact as you can for future use, like your kids riding in there w/you enjoying the sound, keep it practical William - Metter,Ga.

The plan all along has been to squeeze 4 subs in the back of my car, and still have my backseat. But, I have been keeping an open mind, so if the 2 do good enough on their own, I could just say effit. I definitely gotta keep it somewhat practical, but honestly, I'm trying to be over the top as well. You know, have my cake & eat it too? The reason I mentioned glassing up the inside of the prefab is that it's not as solid as it should be. They used smaller, cheaper wood on the ports, and I just thought if I glassed it up, it may sound better and last longer? But Idk, it does seem like alot of work for just a prefab.

But Idk, it does seem like alot of work for just a prefab. you won't be able do to do 4 subs of anything unless they are 8's sealed in the back that area is small, you won't have adequate air space for a ported enclosure the 2 sounds better for efficiency, and glassin up the pre-fab would help some but it needs to be glassed outside also to be more solid ya feel me?
