well im figuring out what system i want to have when spring hits. and i am leaning towards an 18" fi bl. i will have to build the enclosure in two pieces or so obviously since there is no trunk that yuo could slide a 8 cf box into lol. anyways this is just an idea which i am seriously considering. without further adue here are some pics.



that is not the port i will be using haha i was jsut playign around with some ideas. i would like some suggestions on how to run the port. i wanted to just run it straight back however it would run into the sub. The port is 8x12.5x22

the bottom of the box is 36x36 and the top piece is 20.5x36. the net volume before port and sub displacement is 7.8cf. it will dip into the spair tire well to allow the sub enough room to mount. and it will be sub back/up as you can see and it will port into the cabin through the center of my back seat where there is a little opening. unless there is a better place to port it....

basically i would like any comments/suggestions on the box, and on how to run the port/ placement of it . also is 100 sq inches good. it is tuned to 32 hz btw and yes the model "sub" is to spec basically. well its overall diameter and depth are what fi specs say.

if my grammar sucks and it doesnt make sense, well im tired so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

thanks for any help/ideas/comments

 
I like the box. Well thought out for your vehicle. I say do it.
ive spent all day playing aroudn with shit,...i even built a scale model out of cardboard of an 18" bl LOL im gonna take a pic //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

thanks for the compliment...i really want to do this build

 
lol yea i always plan ahead...i figure for a project this size i better do a whole lot of planning. for example, today i am going to be basically building the entire box out of osb or something to ensure good fitage:)

btw its dual 2. the bl only comes dual 1 and dual 2 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif hahah

I got an 18, 9 cf before displacement, slides right in and out (barely). Gotta love the huge Cadillac trunk. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looks like a good design and very well planned, I'd go for it!

 
hahah holy shit. thats nuts. i can fit up to about 9 cubes before any displacements so i think i should be able to fit this box no problem.

i am just going to tear my trunk apart and get building the mock enclosure. i will have updates. also i will be installign a 12" fiQ powered by an atomic 2200.1 ( http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178581 ) today/tommarow. expect a good log
