My new sub box Options

[Eddy]

I finally got around to building a new sub box that's not so ghetto and took out the dual 10 box that I pretty much just threw together over a year ago. I went with a single 10" box since I've got a newer MTX and the Kenwood 10 was about 8-9 years old and starting to rattle. I don't have pics of the build because my camera battery was charging today while I was building it. The box sits down in the well and the top piece has "wings" that go all the way across the well on top of the humps on each side. It's just a hair over 1 cubic foot of air space I believe. I went with 1/2 MDF instead of the 3/4 (really 7/8) because the other box that I had weighed about 60lbs. This one is maybe 15lbs with the sub in it. It has a nice sound. It actually sounds better than when I was running 2 subs. I used the fabric I had left over to cover the top so it would be bare MDF.

I got the plans on TGO. I put the sub all the way to one side so I can have enough room to put stuff down in the trunk.

---Not audio related, but while I had the box out I replaced my P.O.S. ghetto rigged latch with a working power hatch pull down so no more SLAMMING the hatch. I also got a new bulb and hooked up the courtesy light on the rear panel. Now I can say EVERYTHING on the car works....except for the reverse lights. But, that's due to the tranny swap and the T-5 didn't have a rev light plug on it. I think I've got the right part now to fix it, it's just a matter of crawling under there and hooking it up.
