Ported box for 13w6v2 with beauty panel

[Fiercetimbo17 10+ year member]

This is going in the back of a Cobalt, had a sealed box in there that cartoys did, im making a ported box to fit in the same area and modifying there previous work.

Box is 2.8 cubes to 33hz, he wanted it to get loud and low so this modeled up better than JL's suggestions.

Didnt get pictures till i was like halfway but

All the sides on and some of the port in (ports were rounded)

All the ports in

Back on

Getting ready to cut out the port opening, dono what i would do without my flush trim.

Port cut out, and thats all i can do until I finish the beauty panel, more to come

Looks like its coming out nicely.

What program did you use to model it on? I swear the JL specs are half of what they should be.

I mean come on. 1.87 for the 13.5? I had my single in 2.75 and it sounded so much better. I tried the jl spec, but it sounded ...muffled or something..

I plan on putting my 2-13 w6's in 5.5 at 30. I used winisd to figure mine.

Here is the box behind the beauty panel with it carpeted and finished.

All of the false floor installed

Sub in and finished, sounded really good.

nice clean look. always wondered how you guys keep the beauty panel against the box. obviously you don't glue it or you wouldn't be able to take the box out.

thanks, beauty panel is attached with screws, you can see them in the last pic but they blend very well with the carpet.

And i love my bosch router, much better than the skil i had. Ive been very impressed with bosch tools, i own a planer table saw and router from them and all work great with no problems.

Sounds pretty good, this is the first 13w6 ive heard and i was quite impressed with its ability to get loud and sound good while doing it.

Enough port area?

Looks descent I guess for the gobs of money spent on the driver

when i do my panels, i make them out of 3/4" or 1/2". That way, i can mount them from the inside of the box, and not see any screws.

Looks nice in the car though.
