$700 box?

[baseballer1100 5,000+ posts]

yeah that 700 is understandable you figure 4 gal of fiberglass resin, 2 sheets 4x8 MDF, 8 fiberglass cloths, brushes, buckets, acetone, tape, etc... and labor... could easily add up to $700 if not alot more i was thinking somewhere in the 1.2k-1.8k range

Are you serious?

your price is determined by what you pulled up in.

you'd be better off paying for a round-trip ticket for someone on this forum to come visit you and build it up. harhar.

hey, better think twice on everything in this thread.

three 15's in a small sedan trunk is nothing easy. espically when you are looking at a high volume enclosure, thats ported to boot.

it will require a hell of a lot more labor than you are even considering. it will be a build-in. nothing you can just put together in your garage and pop into a trunk. doing a PAIR of 15's in a large ported box in a little trunk is hard as it is. i can imagine why they are wanting $700 for that job. not to mention making it look good as well.

there is a LOT of labor involved, and a LOT of custom fabrication. this is no run of the mill "put a sub in a trunk".

its going to be hell doing that.

what crossed your god **** mind anyway? three 15's in your tiny little trunk? howd you even think you were going to find the airspace for that anyway?

bah. good luck with your shit. frankly, i dont think its worth putting three 15's in a car trunk unless its an all out SPL install.

you can easily get that same daily spl with a single 15 setup, hell. even an 18 would be eaiser to install than three 15's.

Where do you see 3 15's ?

I got two m3mojo 15's and i went to my local shop to see about getting a box built.

the m3mojo 15's subs require allot of air space for the to really come alive the very smallest ported enclosure i would put then in is 3cuft ~4cuft, if you dont have that amount of space easily available, but can be had by glasing the spare tire well, other areas of the trunk angeling panels and so forth. the more complicated the enclosure get ofcource, the higher the price of the enclosure is going to be. the materials, the design, in vehicle build and the labor, are all going to add up real quick, in conparison to a regular ported enclosure. $700 is not that much if they are going to do a good job to get the desired system goal to work.

making the best enclosure for subs that require allot of enclosure volume in a ported enclosure is not an easy task. if you wanted a cheap install. you could of gotten subs that required less air volume to play well.

allot of people buy subs just because of the brand, the look or hype related to that sub. and people lack to look at the subwoofer parameters to figure out if they can fit them subs in the vehicle. then are desapointed to hear that they not have the available space to make them sub perform how they where designed to, and that they have to compromise on the install.

youre either going to have to install the sub in an enclosure that is some what smaller then desired that will still get you a decent performance from the subs. or go bigger and install them in a combination of fiberglass and mdf enclosure using the most available space for the subs. but pay the price to get it done or do it your self.

here is enclosure Link to an enclosure i designed and built, for the same subs. its smaller then recomended but taken into account the cabin gain of the vehicle i managed to get a lage amount of low end bass at a very nice and loud levels out of them subs in a smaller then specified enclosure.

im putting my 12 in 4 cubes as recommended by many people on this forum and by memphis. definitely not 3 cubes for a 15- at LEAST 4.5 cubes

Well from the begining i just got the two of them because they were such a good deal i figured if i cant use both i could probably sell them locally or whatever. With this is mind would it be better to just put one in my car? The gas tank is in the trunk and there's really no opening except where the speakers go in the rear deck because there's metal behind the back seats so as far as air flow goes i thought I should compensate with another speaker I think i had the 5 @ 32

box plan in moe lester's box plans mesured to fit with some room left and without using the wheel well. Im runnin one of them in a sealed box right now with a autotek mm1400.1d It's nice but two would be sick in a ported box. I was planning on another matching autotek amp for the other one as well.

 

[lextacy 10+ year member]

i could take and post a picture or two of my trunk if that'd help anyone help me.

LOL

i must be dislexic.

i guess i saw the m3mojo and thought he was trying to put 3 15's in there.

hell. 2 15's is still gonna be hard as hell.

i said the very smallest of enclosure. like if you have no more room and still want to use the subs. which by no means im recomending that space if there is more room then that to be used.

Thats $597 american, still to expensive.

London, Ohio = $700 ...

 

[phyphoestilic 5,000+ posts]

Fiberglassing the wheel well and making a ported box in a SC could easily comes out to $700 (wells $595 american like said earlier). Cuse it could easily take them half a day to a full day working on that alone. Plus if its a good reliable shop it makes it even more reasonable.

And lol at all the people that tell him to just have someone build the box for him from this forum, specially since he has to fiberglass the well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I drive a lexus sc300 (car)

that's why they said 700$, lmao.

then again, we don't know what the overhead cost maybe be for him, so it might be the CHEAPEST he could do it for...

Def can get it cheaper. DIY!!!
