Sub box pain in the ass
I love the subs in my car and can't live without loud bass and all but my sub box is just beginning to annoy me. Its 3 cubic feet so its huge and probable weighs 100+ lbs with the 2 12's in it. The weight makes a noticable difference when driving. I was thinking about going to one 12 in a ported box or somehting instead but its not really loud enough so i began thinking about fiberglass boxes. How much do you think it would cost to get a fiberglass box built and how much lighter would it be? sorry for the long post. thanks.

Most shops will give you a quote on a custom fiberglass box based on an hourly rate and what else you had in mind as far as finishing materials you decide to use. :)
There will be however a significant weight reduction as compared towhat you currently have. |
get 2 powerful 10's, like Boston Pro's... they go in a tiny box and are loud as hell. Saves space, saves some weight.
Ported boxes tend to be quite a bit larger than sealed boxes. |
i'm on the east coast (nc) so things are pretty shitty around here.
just to give you an idea though, the price for the fiberglass box was almost twice the price of a regular (mdf) box. :rolleyes: |
make your own dude, some fiberglassing is easy like with the tire well, i was going to fiberglass mine and just put a single kicker solobaric s12l7 or s15l7 but i never ended up doing that. IF you really want a professional one id just go around to different audio shops and ask but be prepared to pay a lot. Id say sell the subs you have and get a DVC sub which is like 2 in one :D

a DVC sub is in no way like having 2 subs. it's benefit is more wiring options when paired with multiple subs. also some ppl prefer to separately amp the two voice coils. but it's still one sub in the end.
