Sub Box Opinions

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

So I built a box for my Brahma today. I am going to add some strip led’s in the box but I’m wondering what y’all would do for the space between the magnet and bottom? Something 3D would be cool but no idea what. Suggestions?

Suggestions

Since you said 3D, ever seen those acrylic blocks that can get an image carved inside using a laser? Well, when hit with an LED light on any side, the image lights up. How about the Brahma logo being said image? Nice job btw.

I would just paint inside the box white to match the subwoofer basket. Some people even splatter different colors here and there on the white paint.

Mirrors on the 3 back walls with an led light strip inside.

It’s hard to see in the photos but the inside is painted. It’s like a dark burnt orange color. I was actually thinking of mirrors as well. I do like a lit up 3D block too. The box will be easily seen often so that’s why I’m wanting to do something like this. And it’s my first actual build using craftsmanship and different ideas

I actually like the idea of something like this since it’s going in a 4Runner. I would just need to find someone who could make it for me.

Companies that sell/make banners and car wraps make stuff like this. If not, they usually know a source.

I like the box. Are you going to use any "fill" in the box? I like the idea of it being etched with the logo of your choice.

High Intensity Prismatic vinyl.
Matte logo in center of it.

What do you mean by fill?

What do you mean by fill?

Sorry, I should have been more descriptive. Acoustical filler.

Fill is unnecessary, unless you were forced to build your box too small. If you built the box to the correct specs, fill is not needed.

No fill. I built the box to be around 1.2 cubes after displacement.

I went sealed because we have a third row seat and trying to save as much space possible. It’s my wife’s daily. I will be going ported in my truck next.

Your putting that in your wife's daily?
You want to trade wives?

Hahaha my wife is pretty ******* awesome. She loves to bump but needs her space for the kids, groceries, etc. We use her vehicle for most everything
