My sub enclosure build!

tommyguns · 09-20-2012, 07:43 PM

First let me say thanks to CAS for their corner sub enclosure design. After researching a bit, I decided to try my hand at building my own sub enclosure. Well I have to say that it came out great. So before it was even done a friend posted another location using 2 8" subs instead of the one 10". So I'm at it again. The plans are to either keep the existing single 10 in the CAS inspired enclosure and change my crossovers to 3 way and run the 2 8's using mid bass. Or sell the 10" enclosure with the JL sub and just run the 2 8's as the LFE channel. The single box has just received 5 coats of clear and wet sanding and polishing to follow.

So the final shape of the inner shell is done. I played with the speaker angle until my eyes started to bleed and this is the finished spot. The face follows the angle of the strut tower and is just about flush (from cabin to hatch)as far as angle is concerned. Your thought are appreciated.

Just so happens there is. I had a bunch of time this weekend to get some work done. The passanger side is done and ready for body work. While I was waiting for resin to dry I had the oppurtunity to finish the corner unit I started. Here's some pictures, new unit

Looking at this picture, I'm rethinking the shape of the upper left hand corner. I'm thinking of carrying the line to the top of the strut.

If you can make it flush with the line on the strut, that would make for an excellent, integrated, almost-OEM look. Many kudos to you on this design. You should make more of them once you perfect it and sell them. You'd make a killing.

I would fill in the area just behind the passenger seat with a clean curve to the panel line then follow that all the way to the strut leave the part by the strut tower and it would look pretty clean i think wont let me upload my pic to show what i mean will try in the morning

there we go better idea of what i mean
