custom sub box

[mikeman711 10+ year member]

i live in cedar rapids, i can travel if close, i want fiber glass but it whould have takin too much effert and time to smooth all the edges out, this is just a concept right now, i got my ideas from

http://subthump.com/acamarowell.htm

and

http://bassworx.com/slr.html

i wanted to have the subs face directly tords the window, and i am getting alot of money within the next month, so i said why not, do this, and i am mainly doing this for fun, some show, and maybe something else, but i want it to sound good, and look good also, ehere the 3 wholes are they are 3 10" or i whould go with 2 12" not sure yet, the two wholes facing tords the window whould be 12" and the subs facing the front of the car whould be eather 10" or 12" i measured and it looks like it whould work, but this is not the final desighn im am open to any suggestions, on making this look better, but if you have nothing good to say please stay away from this post thanks

I just don't see any wow factor in that design and it'll more then likely sound like shit.
At least do all the same size subs, either 8's or 10's.

well maybe it could sound like shit but also it might not sound like shit it might sound really good,

you can have any kind of funky angle you want, odd shapes, whatever, but , i would at least keep the sub pointing (firing) a single direction, and keep them the same size and model for sound purposes.

you either have to know how to design around cabin gain, and wave deflection, or get lucky. not many on here could purposely design a good system while mixing subs and firing direction.

No cut sheet, no measurements? I mean, how would you even know how big to make the cut outs?

i would do it as i go. you'd just need to know angles in the car interior, which can be mapped out in a fairly basic way on paper.

ok thats why i am on here i have never desighned a box before, i just desighned what i kinda want and it should not matter on sizes, cause i am putting the 2 12 facing the window on a alpind pdx 1.1000 amp then the 3 10" on seperate alpind pdx 1.600 and the two facing the front on 1 alpine pdx 1.1000

the right sub and left sub facing the front are 2 seperate boxes, the th 2 subs facing the back window is 1 sub box, and the 3 subs facing the 2 subs are 1 sub box,

so you're set on that design i guess. i think you're going to be dissappointed in the sound.

no i just think it cool looking i want something like it

what do you suggest and why dont you draw one up for me then

i also could remove the 2 subs facing the front i just added those wasint very strong on the idea but i just did, if i did that and put only 12" a totel of 12" alpine type r with 2 alpine pdx 1.1000 whould that sound better

i already made a suggestion. i charge for everything. call me a capitalist pig.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif i would run 4 12's, all pointing in the same direction. you can do any funky angle you want, as long as the subs fire the same direction. they don't have to be in a straight line, and anywhere on the box, just all firing the same way.

jibberish. 2 type R's ported on pdx's would get loud.
