well i won't have my car for three days because i am getting everything redone. box,amp, wiring. should look and sound real nice. we decided to go with about 2cuft each it will be rear firing. we are upping the wire from 2 to 1/0 gauge and we are monting the amp in the wheel well with plexiglass about 1" lower than flush with a cover so it will be stealth but can show off the amp when i want. the rear will appear to be completely sealed from the cabin but there will be a screen dye'd to match the exterior of the car above the box flush with the box. i have very high hopes for this setup. i will post pics when i can, i am going to drop by after work to check out the progress and maybe snap a few pics of the installation. wish me luck...

 

WOW!! Big thangs...big thangs! I just bought a sunroof deflector

 

yea, i know.

 

update, i was talking to the guy and now we are integrating a plexiglass window on the back of the box so when the seats are folded down you will be able to see the motor structure. shold be sweet, i can't freakin wait any longer. will take some more pics today.

 

the box is now approximatly 2.2 cubic ft. and we are using gray flextone paint on the interior of the box to give it that marble look, we are also integrating blacklights inside the box and maybe in the amp rack.

 

alright here are some teaser pics.

 

these are not completed pics. but you kind of get the general idea.

 

what, no questions or comments?

 

looks dam good so far bro.

 

very nice work so far. should look nice when it's finished.

 

o btw where did u get that radiant ember color vinyl from? that shiet looks nice

 

Well, it's definitely a very nice fit. But I'm trying to figure out why you have openings between the two sub chambers?

By the way, your car is beautiful also. I don't know much about sixth gens; is that a factory color?

 

damn, looks good so far

and yeah, why not two seperate chambers for the box?

my install is blah, (appearance-wise) compared to that

 

I never noticed this before...

Lucky for you, I guess Nissan got rid of the torsion-bar trunk lid setup in favor of the non-obtrusive hydraulic setup you have when they brought out the sixth gen. We fifth-and-below genners couldn't do your setup without having an ugly notch of some sort cut into the wood. (Unless the trunk lid was modified of course.)

Eh, just thought I'd point that out.

 

It's an unforunate truth.

Doesn't take much to mod that out though

 

because i am only running one amp a 1 ohm and seperate chambers are not required. thanks for all the compliments. i am throwing a lot of money into this thing so it better be nice. i just don't have th supplies to do this sort of thing on my own.

 

Thats gonna look nice. What's your front stage?

 

Looks excellent!


But i dont understand that reasoning for sharing internal space.

 

looks really good, your ears should be hurting in no time

 

Huh? You lost me here.

 

Doesn't matter what resistance your running the amp at, and I think what you meant is that your running it mono. Regardless seperate chambers are better because if one of the subs blows out, it will be easier to notice. If your throwing alot of money into it, please have them do it right.

 

sorry, got ahead of myself. 1 amp + 2 4ohm dvc subs = 1 ohm. figured this was obvious. probably should have stated it is a mono amp.

 

Speaker impedance and what type of amp your using are both completely irrelevant to the enclosure design. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. If this is what the shop thats doing the work is telling you, I would bne a bit skeptical of their actual knowledge.

 

Looking good

 

Again this has nothing to do with the chambering of the box. No matter what they told you.

 

it makes a lot more sense. if i weren't running a mono amp then it would be a chambered box. if i were running two different amps then it would be chambered.

 

if i am wrong and this setup sounds like **** then i will be the first to say so. but since both subs are on the same channel and seeing the same wattage essentially then phase cancelation shouldn't be a problem.

 

Phase cancellation? You are talking standing backwaves being swapped around between subs like 2 **** stars swapping giz in a Debbie Does Dallas encore.

The worse part is if it sounds like *** and you dont know it.

Dont get me wrong man, the work itself and design of the trunk looks very good.

 

not to mention no two subs will ever get the same EXACT power consistantly.

 

yep..
nor resistance, nor impedance drop for that matter....Hehe that would mean both subs to 100% read identically in EVERY voice coil and being a mono amp the first sub wired closest to the power source gets a
few more goodies...

 

What the hell is up with that center chamber anyway? Its like two half circles...Maybe they screwed up the front plate the first time and figured, ah what the hell we'll throw it inside the box and save some MDF.

Also did notice, the jigsaw owns them on circle cuts.

 

 

Haha I didn't think of that.

 

Me neither, i truly hope thats not the case...if so, wow...

 

Honestly I would'nt doubt it though. Main reason is that the bracing inside would be different if they were going to put a big slab like that they might as well have chambered it. But since they weren't going to they could have just used braces.

 

unless they mistakenly thought my subs were 10" there is no way those holes were originally for the front.

 

Wouldnt that be a good reason why it wasnt used? If they cut it for 12s, then it prolly wouldnt be in the center now.

 

Or they cut it from another board they had laying around. The cuts are all to smooth for that to not seem shady.

 

Hilarious. Anyway, are you going to have them seal off the chambers from each other?
