thanks drew up the designs in CAD tonight and it looks pretty straightforward. The paperwork says 3/4 of a cubic foot and 1" of fiberfill stuff lining all sides, and my box's volume is right at 3/4 of a foot so stick with around half a pound of polyfill stuffing? Also, how many screws should...

Im building my first sub enclosure, and its gonna house 2 10" JBL GTIs Im not concerned with SPL and want it to be as punchy as possible and also to take up the least amount of space possible so im going with a sealed enclosure. I also plan on putting each sub in its own seperate box. I...

I have this grandios plan I would like to see for my car, but I dont know anything about wiring and whatnot so im gonna take it to a tweeter or somewhere to have the installation done, but I wanna get all the parts in advance and understand how its gonna be hooked up if its even possible. I...

I am also interested in this speaker reccomendation as it sounds like they could also be a good choice for me. What is an inexpensive amp that you might reccomend for these CDTs? And not to hijack the thread here and get way off topic but what would provide good 6.5" rear fill if I throw these...

hi guys, I have 2 JBL GTI 10"s that I am going to mount inverted (baskets sticking out) in a sealed enclosure. I am buying a sheet of 1" MDF (along with 1/4" for the floor and sides of my trunk) and Im looking for pointers. Any reccomendations about the size of the box? I think JBL reccomends...

tools are not an issue. I think i have a full arsenal at my disposal. Only thing I might be lacking in is some sort of pneumatic sprayer if thats what you need for applying adhesive to vinyl and whatnot...... thanks for the input, ill check out those links. Oh, and on selectproducts.com, i...

Another area I am looking for some advice in is the installation itself. Simple things like when making a raised floor, or sidepanels for that matter......what all goes betweent he floor/sidepanels, and the car? do you use little posts under the floor to hold it up, or 'trusses' running the...

ahoy folks I recently purchased some stereo equipment and plan on having a custom installation done in my trunk (for subs and amps). I went in to tweeter where I knew a really good installer worked but the price quote was a little rich for my blood, so I am now planning on crafting the install...

yea, i tried that, i get frustrated tho cuz im on 28.8 so after spending 30 minutes opening a whole bunch of windows and finding they are all normal boxes sitting in the trunk i give up

thanks for the ideas. keep em comin, especially if u have experience with JBL GTIs

i dont have the patience or knowhow to do my own install. and im too busy to do it even if I did. I want my install to look really nice so i can show it off when its all done and places that do real professional installations that look great charge your pants off for doing so. That being...

what do you mean they cant compare? u mean one w6v2 will hit harder? be louder? sound cleaner? all of the above? i shopped around for quite a while, didnt want elementals, came to the conclusion that 1 w6v2 wouldnt be loud enough for me, couldnt afford 2 w6v2s or 1 w7, and didnt see any...

I have a mazda protege and am getting 2 10" JBL GTIs Any creative ideas for the install? I want to keep the cost around 1000 for the install and am probably gonna go with black vinyl for a nice clean look..... One of the thoughts I had was some sort of raised floor or angled wallwith the subs...

how about the punch? dit it have the hit you could feel in your chest? thats what I want in my trunk but passed up a w6v2 for 2 10" jbl GTIs

now the 12", being a larger speaker is going to be able to hit lower correct? but in my case, lower does not mean better because I want the punch to the chest, which comes from 50-70hz, so for me I might as well go with 2 10s because they will be louder than 1 12" and hit equally as hard. In...
