Nice man nice. I have sent other boxes there and don't really like it. Maybe with the double sub it looks more symmetrical or something. I live in Austin myself a may have to try this out in the near future. Probably would go with almost same exact setup focal and all.

Custom Sub Box
I fabricated a sub box out of balsa core fiberglass with a gray gelcoat finish to fit in the same space of the 370Z a couple of years ago. The sub box was a seal sub enclosure designed for a single 8" sub (Alpine SW-84) with 0.32 interior net cu. ft. The net cu. ft. is the interior space accounting for the sub volume. In my sub box, the interior cu. ft. was only on one-half of this space and the other one-half housed the amp and signal processor. The sub, amp, and signal processor was design to be drop in. The power cable, ground, cables, could be quickly disconnected for easy removal. I added some felt under the rear hatch mat to raise it up to be flush with the sub box height.
I recall that the JL8w3v3 sub recommends 0.375 net interior cu. ft. for each sub. Did you have sufficient net interior cu. ft. for the two JL subs? How does the subs sound? Last edited by 37Z; 07-07-2013 at 06:38 PM. Reason: added text |

Looks horrible.
Now come to Houston so I can hear it and then want to upgrade mine.

Looks great
Is there someone I can contact at Custom Sounds to inquire about something like this? Or is your buddy willing to help out another Z owner?

Glad you guys like the box. I'm not going to comment on the price since my friend is a manger and was helping me out.
If you'd like to see what they do for you, call Custom Sounds on North 183 and ask for Clinton. (five one two) 335-2982 |
