Don't move this post ! This "civic 1992+" is my home !

Anyways I went and got another Sub today and I was gonna buy a box but figured it will cost me like $20-$30 to make one MY WAY instead of paying for one thats not what I would like . So anyways here it is . Just thought I'd share it with you guys since everyone is always looking for something to do to there rides !


HERE I STARTED THE BOX


HERE IS THE BOX PUT TOGETHER "not finished"




It's not finished yet I wanna wrap it in vinyl !!!!!

Tomm Im gonna sand it all down and make the coroners round instead of sharp ends . I think it will look better that way . Also if your thinking why I put the subs so far apart "REASON IS" I dont know how a sealed box will sound in my trunk and if I don't like it I will be able to port the box ! and the back I forgot to get the things to hook up the wire ohh well it will get done tomm !

Hope you guys like it !

hope you put a divider between the two seperate speaker compartments...also I hope you looked up the air space specs for what the sub is supposed to have and whether or not it is supposed to be ported or not. There is a lot that goes into building a box...you cant just slap some MDF board together and expect it to sound amazing.....not to rag on the box...just mite want to do it right before you spend money on vinyl and such.

Yea, when boxing subs there are lots of specs you have to check on before just throwing together the wood and calling it done. Your subs could blow if it's not done right...

what W series are those? If they're W3 or W6, that box is way too big. And as b16a said, you really need to put a divider in there.

for multiple subs a divider is needed. and the proper cubic volume is needed for a sealed/ported box.

Looks like good work on the box :thumbup:

Yeah everything was done to the proper specs . The only thing is I made it an inch ½ bigger on the sides just incase the box being sealed did'nt sound right I could port it . And Yes it has a divider ! Umm yeah man The F*&king box sounds SICK ! Crazy BASS . I like it a lot . They are W6 One is the older one . The other one is a W6 as well but its an aniversary edition there both rated to the same thing just one is grey logo the other white .
