a98pmalcolm Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Hay all. As some of you know iv been measuring up and doing some calculations on making my custom sub box for my supra. A lil hard work when into it with alot of help from my dad (thanks dad) and a total of 15 hours for a nice result! I went for a Rockford Fosgate PS3D412 shallow sub with an MRP-M352 alpine amp using autoleads wiring kit.... got a lil discount as i get on well with the guys at Autronix! Thanks lads Ok here is the kit: http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1078/20100504001.jpg The base and 2 sides place in to make sure i have made the correct messurments! http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/9894/20100504004u.jpg Dad plaining the sides to make the correct angles for a tidy look. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7083/20100504005.jpg We pre drilled wholes in the 3/4" MDF to make sure that the wood wont split when putting the self tappers in http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/2965/20100504006.jpg Then used the counter sink tool for the screw head to sit nicely http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/263/20100504007.jpg Sides being glued and screwed into place http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/3627/20100504008.jpg As you can see its all starting to take shape! http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9427/20100504009.jpg With the top on we know can now shave any odd angles and make it a nice finish befor adding sealant for the enclosure. http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/8243/20100504010.jpg The hole cut out for the sub http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7076/20100504011.jpg The top is removed so now there is no more sawing to be done.... time for sealant for a tight enclosure! http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6624/20100504012.jpg Time for carpeting in my room. Its ideal as i can stretch the carpet out to cling on to my floor carpet so no wrinkles nor creases will be on the box! Hard multipurpose prit-stick was ideal! http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/2312/20100504013.jpg Banzai mags and an upside down table to help the glue dry firmly lol http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/5963/20100504014.jpg Ok all cupeted and the sub in place ready for the car! And need to screw on the "Punch" ring! I didnt want a huge system as it just adds more weight but this is seriously loud! Any more would blow my head i think lol! http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1470/20100504015.jpg And finally the finished product! Ok a nice hover and a lil more of a tidy up with carpet is in order! But thats about it http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2833/20100505001.jpg http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9316/20100505003.jpg http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7990/20100505004.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5190/20100505005.jpg Well i hope u all like..

imi Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The fact that it is on show through the windscreen, is that by design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Nice tidy enclosure. Directing sups at the glass has been known to blow out the rear window though so just watch whacking it up to full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 the rf punch 10"s are fantastic , i used to have one in my supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 excellent build mate. Nice pics too. Ahhh nothing like a bit of farther and son bonding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 The fact that it is on show through the windscreen, is that by design? no it was just the way it worked out, problem is i still wanted a boot and didnt wanna just give up the boot! So to mate sure that thesub has 1 cubic area inside the box... with a tidy look this is the only way it could come out!! ME and my dad had a good time building it though! was a giggle... and an experience of doin it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The fact that it is on show through the windscreen, is that by design? I am sure your sub is the same imi? Looks nice & tidy mate, though I'd recommend you use the blind when you park it up as prying eyes can end up leading to a chav trying to go through your window for it.

imi Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I am sure your sub is the same imi? the sub would be visible if i wanted it to be; not that silly though - live in the UK for Gods sake.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
