I thought I'd give fleecing a try. Wasn't too hard.

The componets are cheap, but temp till all major construction is done.
10" sub, sealed in a wedge box. 6.5 mids.

Sounds pretty good too.

max89_v6

Wow! Now that's impressive. What kind of sub/midranges are you using?

goon9

iTrader: (13)

Cheap ones. mtx blue sub, 'Dual' 6.5's

looks good, any shots of the underside? is the sub free-aired?

goon9

iTrader: (13)

There's not much to show, just a wedge box.

Oh yeah, forgot the mention, I had to cut out Alot of metal, lol. As usaul.

ah i see, looks pretty good. one of the cleaner attempts of an rear deck spoiler i've seen on a 3rd gen

sweet and clean...i'd start taking orders if i were u

AscendantMax

oops...i meant rear deck subwoofer...

MyBlue92Maxima

iTrader: (2)

very clean and if it takes up less space in the trunk that is sweet, realgoon..do you work as a mechanic or taken any like autoshop classes? whered you learn to do all the work on your car..or is it taken to a body shop

jewsonlot

very sweet. Are run fof the head unit or have got amps hiden els where?

tripleGmax

sweet you got it finished, it looks good.

Thanks everyone!

There was enough room betwean the back seat and box to fit the amp. I have a kenwood amp that open for cooling when needed, so i leave the arm rest down.

I worked as a mechaninc for 3 months, almost got knocked out by the mean red headed supervisor so I left, lol. But I enjoy toying with cars so I learn alot off forums and online stuff(rest is just common sense.) Oh, and I bug a few .org memebers for their wisdom, I won't list em so they don't get even more bothered, I'll to get more pics of the install.

One thing that botheres me a little, the box being a wedge and sealed has GREAT responce, full and clean. Till it suddenly distorts if I turn it up too loud, at that point it's just not wise anyway. If I knew more about proper porting I would of.

AscendantMax

porting it would require that box to be much bigger though. might be bit harder trying to hang a huge box under the rear deck.

Here's a few pics of how it was mounted/made.

ur amp looks like it's insulated between the back of the rear seat and the speaker box....doesn't it build up a dangerous amount of heat?

goon9

iTrader: (13)

No, the arm rest was gutted out, so it gets direct air flow.

would look sweeeeeeet covered in some suede or something! but looks good

what about the rear defroster vents? whats goin on with those

silver91

What rear defroster vents?

goon9

iTrader: (13)

no vents, there not needed.

I'm really considering suede, but i donno where to even get it, stretch it, or how it'll even hold up to uv light, more research to do i quess.

AscendantMax

what's the internal air volume of that box?

goon9

iTrader: (13)

1.2 cubic ft.

A sealed 10 needs 1-1.5 cubic ft.

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

1 - 1.5 is a bit big for a ten. most 10s i've worked with requires .75 to 1.0 cu ft net. A large box wouldn't harm the sub, but reaching mechanical limit is rather easy (as you can tell when you have the volume up, and the sub starts to distort.)

goon9

iTrader: (13)

Hmmmmm.... So If I drop the volume of the box it'll be able to play louder?

AscendantMax

iTrader: (7)

possibly. the smaller air volume will act as a stiffer suspension on the cone of the sub. generally, a sub's power handling is inversely proportional to its box's volume. the larger the box, the less power a sub can handle. in a large box, the loose "spring" will enable the cone to reach mechanical limit sooner than compared to a smaller box. only tradeoff is that you'll lose a bit of lower bass reproduction, but nothing too drastic. but even in a small box, a sub can still distort when pushed.

dadsmax

Are those rear air vents just there to take up space? The defrog is thru the glass. Right or wrong.

Now you need some tint to hide all that beautamous audio equipment....

No audio stickers ftl...

maximapitko

nice idea and execution but it's not my style...good work though...

goon9

iTrader: (13)

I'm just happy I have sound again, lol. But I'm not going to put in better compents till last. I donno wanna finish everything up with fugged up equipment from the reconstruction.

Door panels are next. Donno what I wanna do with them yet....

Mr. Blue Sky

iTrader: (1)

impressive design work there. I kinda like to keep my 3rd brake light though

Greeny

iTrader: (43)

Thegoon has the talent to put the 3rd brake light led's in the top of the trunk if he wanted too...

Max93GXE

Looks awesome, very clean in deed. I'm not sure if I would look into doing this to mine without tint since a lot more cars a getting broken into lately. About those vents I'm also intrested to know if they acualy blow air or not. I never really bothered to check..

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

they are just pressure relief vents
