tonights project.

[wasted911]

Well a buddy of mine needed a new sub box for his truck, so we started brainstorming a while ago. It's a 99 tacoma extended cab. There's a hump where the rear seats fold down, and it has a compartment in there for the jack. He still wanted access to it, so we'd have to build around it. The sub he has to use is a Hertz Hi-energy 12" that we picked up for DIRT cheap. So I figured that we'd make a box that kind of rounded around the whole thing.. I guess pictures speak a thousand words..

Near the bottom part of it, we were going to make more enclosure go down, but there was a lot more room in there than I tohught, so we just laid a second piece down beside where the woofer mounts and sealed her up. There's also a brace in there to make it a little more rigid. It will also be seeing carpet in the near future.

[wasted911]

it is downfiring. It's actually pretty close to the same volume as the ported box firing up he just had in there. I gotta snap some in-the-truck pictures yet.

[wasted911]

oh, for the record.. that was the first time doing the "kurf" cuts. I think that's what you call them.

[KINGDELL91]

sweet

[blackbonnie]

nice, any install pics?

[wasted911]

it is 1/2 inch :(

it was the only material they had ta the hardware store (small town). So we made due, as for the curve, I know that we should have all of the cuts touching eachother, but with such a slow curve at the bottom of the box it would have gotten pretty choppy. So we used a sub-flooring adhesive to go throughout. It hardened it up pretty good, and is a lot cheaper than resin. And I can't really see there being a problem with strength as my friend usually keeps the sub volume minimal anyways. I gotta get some install pictures yet, it was too dark out when we finished.

[wasted911]

well here she is..

didnt fit the way i wanted against the folding seat, but it'll be shimmed when we go to carpet it.. same with the block at the bottom.. we'll be making something a little more permanent later
