gilber33 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 And sounds like crap. It's barely a step up from bazooka tubes. I disagree. I've had one in my car for probably 5 years and it sounds awesome. Obviously not going to rattle the car apart or wake up your neighbors, but it's a great addition and fills in the bass range very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I used it to add rigidity. It seemed to help give it a tiny bit more rigidity. I had seen it done in other builds to strengthen parts, I figured it couldn't hurt to try so I did. Made it weaker. The reason you use bulkers is when you have a 1 dimension part. Same reason they corrugate sheet metal. Also when you use bulkers you have to make sure they wet out correctly. Other side they are just heavy resin traps. Other wise looks good.

Obviously not going to rattle the car apart or wake up your neighbors, but it's a great addition and fills in the bass range very nicely. Agree to disagree. Is it good for what it is? Sure. Does it even compare to a properly installed and tuned sub? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Agree to disagree. Is it good for what it is? Sure. Does it even compare to a properly installed and tuned sub? No. Exactly... now lets get back to business! I was able to purchase some t-nuts and install those so mounting and removing the subwoofer ought to be pretty simple and will be easier to change woofers in the future.

JVC Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Got some more glass laid down yesterday and I'm going to lay some down shortly with the hope that it will be dry by tonight and I can lay down another layer! Then I should be at the point where it will be strong enough to test out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Trimmed up the outside of the box from all of the fiberglass straggler parts. and sanded down some of the rough parts on the box and all of the air bubbles that I was unable to smooth out. Going to slap some body filler on it tomorrow and try to smooth it out a bit. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Installed the woofer yesterday and tested it out. Sounds pretty good actually. I need to totally tune it in but I would call the project a success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgerBob Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's a failure until I see some pics. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'll snap someone pics Tomorrow. I lost a handful of pictures when my phone crashed last week. I still need to wrap it with something but it's in the car and functioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Shadow Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 looks good jon, i would have cheated and did something like this. lot less work and less of a mess....but you dont get the high from the resin just a box up there with a pretty panel covering it all up, with access to the spare too.

JVC Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 That's nice but I was looking for something a bit more understated that would still allow me to use my trunk if need be. Plus, it can be taken out in like 3 minutes if I need even more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
