stuff

Matt, you are INSANE! 3k watts? How many screaming kids were you able to fit inside the box??? Seriously, I did use MDF (easier to router the spkr flush than plywood) & white glue all around (fillets, etc...), pilot holes & wood screws. I still have to wire it up tho'. Thanks for the silicone info, ...

seat

Because, as far as I can tell, the surround on the flush mtd spkr hits the back of the seat (it protrudes about 0.25" past the spkr frame), even after I took off an additional 0.25" from the back of the spkr cabnet. The fabric on the back of the seat isn't very tight & the seat back looks a bit conv...

back seat raising 4 sub

I read somewhere (here I believe) that I would need to put in longer back seat bolts to raise the bench up to add more room for a subwoofer. I finally got around to taking a closer look at mine (2001) and the 4 bolts are part of the body and are protruding horizontally from the rear. Now, the questi...

substuff

Ah, I forgot the value of PI http://users.myexcel.com/lassiter/subarea.jpg hopefully I did it correctly So the volume of the original sub cab is 0.39 CF and the volume of the new cab (using 0.5" thk material) is 0.36 CF As I'm going with a thinner front & back, that may equal out to the original cab...

interior dims

Ok KC, math is not my strong suit. How do you determine the area of a non-"square" object? I did up the dims on the box.... http://users.myexcel.com/lassiter/subvolumedims.jpg 70k Do the dims as if the curved "areas" were in fact square, ignoring the curved areas and then divide the curved areas by ...

Thanks KC, any idea how to determine the interior air volume of the old tube cab & the new one? As for the amp placement, see the link to the pics at the top. The hardest part will be wiring the thing up to the deck. Also, what does the fiber fill in the old tube cab do? There was quite a bit, the t...

Thanks for the port info, never thought about that. About the board material, where can I get it & how much does it cost? Aubuchon? Home Depot? How thick is it? Will I have to use internal corner braces to hold the panels together? I also put a plan dwg on the site at the bottom of the page & then r...

newbie to site - my subwfr mock-up

Hello all! It took a few weeks but I found a truck that I and my wife fell in love with. We went to all the dealerships & tried out the Dodges, Nissans, etc.. and then we came across this one. It will make it easier to do yard work as I used to have a Suzuki 2 door hatchback that I would fill with s...
