Zenclosures
 

I spoke with Mike tonight and had an idea I haven't seen here. When I get the box, I will post up some pics, I think some of you might like the idea and Mike said he can duplicate it with no problem.



Sub it..

Subbed! When do you expect to get it?

I am intrigued. In for pics.

Just hope it's not installing speakers in with the sub box or installing an amp inside the box. Looking forward to the ideas otherwise.

Nope, no speakers, "inside" the box. Mounting speakers in a sub box, even if they have their own airspace is not something we thought wise. We discussed it and the negative outweighed the positive aspects.

The box is on it's way and should be here by this weekend. I will take some images and see how it works out. I will post them back to hear and get some sound recordings, dunno how much you will be able to tell from those, but I will give an honest review of what has been done and if I think it's viable or just something tried and discarded.

In for Updates!

Looks like the box won't be here until Monday... That's okay as I work all weekend anyway, just wanted to give you guys the heads-up.

This did show up on my door though!

Curious cat... subbed ;)

Subd for updates!

Today is the day!

Yup! I got the box today, just unpacked it and the work is top notch. The install will be tomorrow, so look for pics and vids then. If it wasn't 90 degrees and 80 percent humidity I would do it now. I don't want to drip sweat all over my new stuff. lol :p

Ah man! How about a teaser?

:) I can't really shoot a teaser without giving it away, so you'll have to wait! No soup for you!! :stirthepot:

I can wait no longer! Woke up at 4am thinking about the install and decided 5am was a good time to start. It's supposed to be 92 plus here with a nasty humidity level, so this seems like a good idea anyway. I will pop in and out through the day with pics. Mounting the amp will be the last thing that get's done as I want it out until I get everything dialed in. Out to the garage!

Install
 

Okay, dropped it in for a test fit which is perfect. I know many of you think that rear speakers are a waste, but I have to know for myself. I plan on tweaking them and seeing what it feels like. Since I just happend to have an extra pair of Facal PS165s I thought what the hell.

Since the Zenclosure has a ton of unused space on either side, I thought why not punch some holes in there and use it. This is NOT in the airspace for the single rear firing sub.

More pics coming as I work through the install. I know there are a lot of you out there who would like to give rears a shot and this is a great way to try them, it cost you very little to try it and I had Mike throw in a bit of extra material in case I decided I didn't like it and just removed them. If that's the case I am going to put some type of door there, perhaps a hidden one, where I can stash stuff. :P

Until the next ones...
