Custom sub box installed!

McVibe · Post by **McVibe** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 5:31 am

So I bought the custom sub box from idontknowwhatimdoing and I love it! I don't have any subs in it right now, but I have some Legacy subs in the works. I'm also going to get better subs down the road, but I want some orange ones, so far the only oranges I've seen are the Legacys that I'm getting, any ideas? I'm also going to get an LCD monitor to put in the depression in between the subs, so far the only one to fit the 8.5 by 5.5 by 1 inch is a Pyle...

Custom boxes, for the most part are easy, but this one is mainly fiberglass and there is significant stitch work in the vinyl wrap.I can re-do that box pretty simply, but man it ain't cheap...about $100 in resin and at least $150 in labor JUST for the stitchwork on the vinyl...I would not even want to guess the labor price on the rest of it...not to mention it would take about 20+ hours to build....If anyone wants a similar one of these, I would need at least $500 + Shipping (see below) and that gets you a basic finish, meaning vinyl wrap, but no stitch work and I will custom build the "volcano" for your woofers and dial the amp cutout for your amplifier/s.Other options are I can build shells and send them without finish trimwork, or a shell that is not even sanded for the finish trim work. The less work I have to do to get it done, the less it costs you in the end.I guess I am trying to set the price reasonable to match what I need to cover the time sacrifice it would take to build these. I have personally built THOUSANDS of enclosures, so I know my business. (18 years as a pro in the audio world)BTW...shipping was $97 to McVibe...ouch...I made a total of $3 on the deal.....Oh wait, I had to buy the box and packing, so I guess I lost $9......ooofta

Nice job! I'm interesting in doing an enclouser for a 10" sub on either the drivers or passenger side where the gap between the taillight and the wheel well is. Doent need to be anything fancy but would like to to look better than a carpeted box. Any ideas or suggestions?

I have done this for mine and it was a chore but it turned out pretty good. I have since trashed it because I wanted significantly more slam and so now the entire rear end is full of crap. IMHO One Rockford P310D2/4 would be a great woofer for that pocket...small box (under 1 ft3), big power, reasonable SPL.

Looks nice bro. Looks like you put a lot of work into that, and I have to say it's pretty sweet.

Yo Mc.....I found the LCD screen for that box....I don't know if it works or not, but I would let you have it cheap.
