heaviest sub box you would have?
whats your limit as far as weight goes?
mine is half my trunk, high and wide and weighs like 100lbs. iirc its 3 foot X 1.5 X 1.5 feet. id like to make somethjing lighter but what could it be made out of besides MDF? i know some of you guys have nice setups and i wonder how much they weigh, and if you would weigh your car down by 100 lbs in the trunk |
id look into Baltic Birch plywood or check into birch plywood found easily at home depot or lowes. its significantly lighter, easier to work with, but it costs almost twice the price of mdf.

yes it is.

i'm guessing my box + sub weighs a little over 100 pounds. my sub is 39 pounds, and the box was roughly 65ish pounds.

damn, 215?!
how big is the box? |
I'm definatly more n2 car audio than racing, so it doesn't matter how much my box weighs. I have my box, amp, and extra battery n the trunk...along with a 1/2" MDF false floor, and a sh!t load of Dynamat Xtreme. My rear has a noticable squat to it, but as long as my system is loud & clear it doesn't matter.

I don't want to know what my box is going to weigh. We had to change the design because it required 6 cu.ft. So we had to change the subs from firing up to forward to make it work. :rolleyes: I wonder if my truck will ever get done.

just use the bed of the truck, port it into the cabin :D
|
Baltic Birch is an option. Or more common "Ultralite" Similiar density to MDF, but about a 1/4 of the weight. Of course 4 X the price as well.
|
i read on CAF that the "ultralite" mdf is easily ordered from HD or Lowe's...any truth to this?

But I actually haul stuff with my Frontier. So I need the bed space. Plus, I'm trying to make it so it's a 2 person only truck. I'm not doing to the people in the extended portion thing again. I checked on my truck yesterday. They had the dash apart, and was rewiring my power wire. I can't remember if they said they were done with the remote start/alarm. Oh well, I'll go down sometime today and check up on it. They did say they were going to start working on getting the box in. They were cutting the pieces while I was there. So I'll take my camera along and try to get some pics. |
What's the weight distribution on our cars? I've always wondered and just been too lazy to look it up. Anyway, I'm assuming my 5th gen is very light in the back so any extra weight back there might actually benefit handling. I think my box & subs are probably 60-70 lbs and then I have an amp & EQ in the spare tire well which is another 10 lbs or so.
