Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior custom sub enclosure out of mdf wood...

hey i was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations for building a flat lying custom sub thing for my celica's trunk. i obviously have to get the dimentions for the wood, but how thick, how high from lets say the spare tire cover, and how do i finish it off to make it look nice? i want to make the wood predominatly red, being my car is red, but still want it to look nice and as professional as possible. thanks

hey man i actually have my old setup for sale if you are interested...its already red and a flat floor... let me know

heres some pics for ideas or if ya wanna buy it

what size square sub is that? is that a minimal hit sub or decreased space sub? could i bore out the hole to fit a 15 inch?

i wish trogs box held two 12" circles because that looks awesome

yeah thats what i need i have 2 12's right now and i dont wanna give them up so with that said any ideas?

in order to do 2 12" subs the box is gonna be huge and the floor is gonna be high as hell. If ur doin a flat floor i'd suggest 1 sub

That's what I planing to do !



And you are still able to take the spare tire out without removing the sub enclosure...
Here the instruction on how to do it...

Hope it will help you...

^^^If thats a W7 thats gotta sound like crap...that box isnt even close to enough air space...the box is wayy too small

nicely done though

thats a neat setup pierre...its like a puzzle

the a w6v2.. . and a w7 will slam in a real tight air space. . . atleast mine do .. . damn i need a digi.

I didn't do it... but I'm planning to do it... cause I need the trunk space ...

It suppose to have something like 1.3 cubic feet...

I'm planning to add a 12inch sub and 1 amp... don't know what brand for the moment... I'm waiting to see what my job will do...(I heard they want to cut me... )

^^ shitty!!!!!!! i hate not having job security myself. . .

yeah it's suck !

they think they will be all right with 3 office connected by VPN tunnel and a lot of laptop also connected to the main office by VPN... without a network administrator to maintain this... I would like too see thier faces when it's gonna crash...

sorry off topic...

SWEET ~ you DIY ppl are crazy

Question:

Doesn't that box have to be sealed? I see when it was folded out, there are gaps in the sides. Hope it hits good, i'm hoping to do the exact same with my JL 500/1 and 10W6v2 subwoofer (the 2nd I don't have, but I will )

I need a better job!

BTW, the box looks sexy.

hey that's really saving space!!
can you give me the dimension and stuff if you don't mine.
I was thinking of putting mine on my spare, like how Q-TIP did his...

Jae,

Custom sub box [celica.net]

Finnaly I have done a different setup...

I had a 10 infinity sub with a aleready build box ...

I take some "coroplast" sheet (just like carton but it's plastic...) and recover them with carpet...

I'm almost finish... I'll post pics around the end of the week...

is there any way you could do this with 2 12"s? and 2 1000w amps? this is my current set up, think you could fit this into ^^^^^^^^^^^^ that?

in response to ^^ there is no way you could fit that all flat across the back.

here's mine...









15" kicker sub... the wires are visible as of now but that will all change.

oh yeah i should mention that i wrapped the box in red vinyl (cost about $7) and that the box is 10" deep, 36" long, and 24" from front to back. basically i made the box wide instead of deep so that i could still give the 15 plenty of air space and keep it down lower into the car.

You could. The two subs on the ends and the amp in the middle. Problem is, where you going to put the speaker amp? . The box would be too small to take advantage of the subs power, so it wouldn't sound as good.

I was still wondering if the box was ported. You guys didn't answer my question. (see above post) I wish you could make it deeper and face the subs upward. You couldn't use the spare tire, though.

made that waaaaay too hard for yourself, take out that tray, that you will never use anyways.

i built my box for two 10's over the metal support hump (keeps everything from sliding at all) then mounted a fake wall behind it to mount that amp hidden between the back seats and the box.

Ill take pics and post tomorrow if i get a chance.

hey trog is your set up still for sale?
