Custom Box - Help needed

[Greg_S]

It should do, I looked at doing that first too, then decided I didnt fancy using fibreglass this time around

[Jamo]

Really, didn't know. So that would work then? enough volume?

Have you found the manual to your sub with it's recommended box size?

Dont need to fibreglass Greg, just use a profile tool to get the contour shape then cut the MDF.

Bigger box than mine that, so maybe your initial size is correct.

Pop the dimensions of the card board on here and i'll size it up tomorrow.

jamo, have you still got your old enclosure?

Yes, it's in the car at the moment, it's not the one your thinking off though. The one Alistair made doesn't fit the S2 only the standard Coupe.

You wouldn't want them mate. They are on the floor in the garage at the mo with about a months life left, they are crap to be honest and will probably end up in the bin. Wouldn't sell anything I'm not completly happy with . Thanks for the help though

Good choice, I have them on mine and with stock springs the handling is a perfect compromise between great handling frim ride and adility to destroy bumpy A roads easily

[rotoryboy]

Me too. I run the bilstiens with Nothelle springs and am very happy with them.

I went this route

Is that it? Finished? - That was bloody quick!

Nice one. The only thing I would worry about is something in the boot sliding on top of it. Are you going to add a grille or anything.

Cheers,

Steve.

Not finished totally. Is porting better or worse? higher or lower?

I am worried about that. Didn't know if I should use 2 strips of perspex or just one small sheet of perspex. It will look cool and protect the sub. Would it distort sound?

I do appreciate the info guys

[Jamo]

You can't port a sub designed to be in a sealed enclosure mate, you'll damage it.

The RWC 254 was designed to work in a sealed environmet.

How have you made that airtight?

[rotoryboy]

It's not fully airtight yet, but will be fully glassed and then gasket fitted to the MDF top making it airtight. WIP
