Great work and use of space ! So when doing a fiberglass enclosure how do u calculate the volume ? For the sub

Minsu · 08-26-2014, 10:31 PM

I think each sub had a cubic measurement that it comes with for the sub enclosure. Somewhere in the manual

Mbreese · 08-26-2014, 10:33 PM

Ya I understand that but since the fiberglass is not a square do you just guesstimate the volume of the enclosure , I know I'm being kind of picky about the details but my OCD want let me be any other way ! Lmao

Minsu · 08-26-2014, 10:35 PM

Hmm im sure theres some tedious math behind it, but over all you would take the L,W,H it square wise, then subtract the empty space then add to the fiberglass to fulfill the said amount of space you need. So the square would need to be bigger than usual to compensate

Mbreese · 08-26-2014, 10:38 PM

Ya that sounds about wright ! Lol , a lil trial and error my uncle owns a stereo shop I'll ask him and get back with the answer just in case someone else needs to know

Awesome !

while your building the frame of the enclosure use packing nuts to fill the area that you plan on filling in, then take them out and put them in a normal card board box and see how much it fills up.

Minsu · 08-26-2014, 10:45 PM

Oooooo thats smart

reeps · 08-26-2014, 10:50 PM

prior to building the box just take general measurements of the area that you plan on building your enclosure to get a general idea of the airspace you have to work with. This way you can get an idea of what you are tuning your system for.

I have done a few fiberglass installs. Here is one back from 1995 that I did in an Eagle Talon:

That's some trick **** !

Mbreese · 08-26-2014, 10:54 PM

I'm sure I can do this with a lil knowledge from everyone and utube ! I just know that I don't want the run of the mill bull you see out in the world ! And as music is very important to me (runs my life) it has to be wright
