Fayetteville, NC - 99 Eclipse

[elrog69]

Hello all!

Outstanding site, been lurking for years.

I never knew there was so much science in speaker boxes. Let alone all the engineering it takes to put in a good system.

Working on a Father/Son 99 Eclipse. He gets his licence in Mar 08. I'd like to have it done by then.

We got the car used from a DUI auction. Has a Pioneer CD stereo, a cd changer in the back (I don't know if it is hooked up), the interior speakers are aftermarket, but the amp and box in the rear were taken out by the auction company.

We would like to put a custom box in the rear, saw one on ebay, rather get it somewhere else,,, Any ideas?

Are there any plans/patterns out there?

A long first post. Thanks

you're going to want to pick out the subs you want first, then have a custom box made for them. after picking the subs out, i'd suggest going with either bj at http://www.fishercustoms.com or phil at http://www.woodlawncabinetry.com. both build really nice boxes so you can't really lose with either of them.

Are you can get up with stratusrt on this board ....he can build you something and lives 20 mins from you

I can build anything that anyone else can, I just stay more local and low-key. I'll PM you my phone number, I'm right outside of Fayetteville.

I wanted something local.

Great.

they have a variety of kerfed ported boxes, they also sell numerous amounts of woofers in custom built enclosures

just curious and u dont have to share but i was always curious how much those things go for at those auctions..so how much did you pay for that? lol

 

[elrog69]

Talked to Stratus,,, we are meeting face to face to work out the details.

We will capture it all on digits and keep everyone updated.

I want something respectable, not a box out of best buy,,, I'm sure Stratus can give me that.

how about a preview of what I've done so far?

once we decide on amps, I'll build a cover plate for the amprack, and everything's getting carpeted right now.
