Celica Forums General Discussion General I'm in quite the pickle ;)

well ok... so we all know how our trunks are... kinda small to say the least. don'tca know I got a JL 12" w6 sub and box that takes up almost my ENTIRE trunk... any suggestions to make this lovely eyesore show worthy?

no.

lol i feel ya

Hahaha, unless you're willing to dish out cash for a custom enclosure and probably lose even more space I can't imagine it looking too pretty. I wanted a box for some good bass, I sacrificed the looks aspect

You could throw the sub into the spare tire part, but IMO it looks kinda silly. (no offense to anyone...)

i think i'm going to have to make a custom box... i just can't stand this thing taking up my trunk and looking horrible... i wouldn't mind if it at least looked half decent.. i mean for the show this comming weekend i had to buy fabricand i'm going to have to drape it somehow to make it look ok...

that's the way i'd do it... i had to make a custom box for my 3000GT (which has a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay smaller trunk)... doesn't look too spectacular but i put black marble contact paper on it and it actually doesn't look that bad... but i don't take that car to shows.. so it doesn't really matter to me how it looks...

I have never heard a custom box sound all too hot... but I guess if it's done right it'd be pretty good. Make sure it fits the specs for your sub though!

would you try a fiber glass setup inclosure, that would look nice, but then again, you dont want the thing to take up all the space hu...your imagination is your best look

The space really isn't an issue i guess... it's just the bulky ugly look of the sub kinda just sitting there... It isn't really appealing at shows ya know? Fiberglass would look good, true... but i'm looking to re do my darn trunk in yellow crushed velvet, snd i don't know if i want the box to mesh, or contrast exactly yet. I have my center console yellow... and where my gauges are, that's yellow... and my seats are going to be re-done yellow/black. so i want to really keep that contrast through the whole car. my amp and cap are mounted to the back seat, so I'm realllllly limited to what i can really do. I wanted good sound, so unfortunately I'm going to have to sacrafice the space... and i know i have to keep the specs for the preticular sub i have... ugh... what to do...

I'm going to be selling my boxes soon ... they fit 12s"

you can see pictures here ...

pretty nice... love the head unit too... i have the same one lol... ok, but i only have one 12... really don't plan on getting another one... won't it look... off balanced? i was really looking for something to sit back where that plastic piece is in the trunk against the seats... i know i'm being picky lol... i've said it before though... you get one idea stuck in your head and you're screwed... props to you though sweetie for making them, they look greta, and thank you for the offer, i appreciate it... if you could make something to fit what i'm looking for, that would be amazing. or even if you know where i could get one?

get a thin custom one that fits over the tray in the back

that box would not be good for ur sub. You need a way bigger box. That box would mess up ur sub bad. Jl is the shit you need bigger box. need box to fit specs on sub. Later Chad

get urslef some fiberglass adn make them int he side wells. will fit nice and snug in there

why do you need a bigger box?? the subs made today (if you buy good ones) can handle very little air space... my box is small for my 3000GT and my friend robin (who knows everything there is to know about speakers) said that the box could be even smaller because my speakers are so efficient...

if you need a big box.. you've got crappy speakers...

i dont know if this has been mentioned, but if no one sits in the back, lose the rear seats

No its not that you need the big box but it will not even sound close to the same. I got a w7 and it needs a bigger box or a ported box are ya callin that sub crappy?? Would just sound 1000000 times better with bigger ported box. Thanks Chad

I know you need a bigger box... the w6 w7 ect subs need a certain abount of enclosed air space to pump like they do... if you cut that off, your sound quality will be cut as well... which brings me back to my current problem lol.. what the hell am i going to do?

That is how one of the Scions is done and I like it!

i dunno... i've got a small speaker box and it sounds just as good as my ex-boyfriends speakers do (we have the same speakers) and he's got a big speaker box...

if you had 2x 12inch subs you can get a board kinda like the cover of the boot they come with and screw that into the boot and cover it with leather. if you dont mind having no space in you boot you could make a big fiberglass box as well you can get it sprayed yellow.

ok and also Qbee do you have sports shift? (e-shift) and if so what do you think of it? (thats if you use it)

Nope sorry hun, i have a crapomatic lol... a few friends that do have e-shift love the damn thing though... they love the way the car handles... i haven't heard a bad thing about it really to be honest

i wanted space in my trunk so i just got 1..

heres what i did but now theres no trunk...

like i said, i can spare the space... i just want it show worthy lol

lol yeah e-shift is sooo awsome i love it!!!! its better than manual in my opinion as you can just shift down through corners and stuff its madddzzz!!!!
ohh and qbee can you post a pic of yorself?
