Glad i could help!

 

ive heard of ppl putting the l7s behind the passenger seat and extending the box under or over to passenger seat with a port.

 

So the first thing I did was start the sound deadening process. I like to use Second Skin.








When I ran out of the silver backed foil I switched to the black.


Then I built a subwoofer box.*

The first thing I did was start to mock up the bottom of the box.


Cut the piece out of MDF.


Measured and cut out the back piece of the box.


Test fit.


The next thing I did was put the two seats where I wanted them and then cut cardboard out around them. This will become the top of the box.


Then I cut out that piece and glued it to the top of the box.


Test fitting the box.




Then I measured what space I had and cut a piece to that size.


Next I covered the entire box in felt.


Then I mixed up some fiberglas resin and covered the box in it.


Then I cut up some fiberglas matting and started the process all over again.


I misplaced the next set of pics but you get the idea. *I covered the box over and over then used a bit of body filler and sanded it down until it was smooth. *I painted it with hammerite black.

I am actually going repaint it pewter so it matches my interior better. *

I have also started to modify my kick panels for my Boston Acoustics.

 

how much does all that sound deadening material cost you?? that cant be cheap...

 

It's not too bad. All the silver stuff I had left over from my Camaro project. They switched to the black foil like 6 months ago or something.

I'm a firm believer in deadening, but it does add a lot of weight. Then again, that sub box isn't exactly light either. LOL.

On another note, I just through that Pioneer sub in there because I had it laying around as well. The box ended up being to big for it, and I don't like the sound. So in the long run, I plan on changing it out for something else. I bought those subs years ago for a SPL project. I ended up not using them.

I'm not a SPL guy at all. I'm an SQ guy.

 

Any pics of the final product?

 

 

Actually no. LOL. I'll get you guys some if you want. It looks just like the felt one though. I painted it hammerite black. I had some pics but when I reinstalled the firmware on my iPhone I lost some of my pics. That's a different story all togeather though.

I plan on taking it back out and repainting it grey though. I'm going to do that when I finish my kick panels. I stopped working on it when I found out one of my amplifiers I bought off of eBay does't work properly. Either I need to find an oscilloscope or another ADS PQ10.

Right now I'm focusing on my Procharger setup so it'll be a while before I get back to the stereo stuff.

I just bought a TrueTrac so that will be my next project. I still need to order some shims, carrier bearings, and ring gear bolts.

Off subject I know, but does anyone happen to know a good place to order those things? Summit?

 

after seeing this thread and iregret's great work it inspired me to start my rcsb box build this is what i got done to this point


test fit/ still need to seal it and finish ether carpeting it or glassing it
