I got a box from mike on ebay (under strut bar) ive made a 1 inch pacer and wanted to know if the w7 will sound good in this box or do i need a diffrent box with more space

 

need more info. is it a sealed box or ported? what is cubic air space?

 

if it is one of those under the strut bar boxes that does not protrude past the strut bar on either side it is definitely not a good box. The 10W7 requires a lot of air space, preferrably 1.25cuft in a sealed box. More so, if the box doesn't protrude past the strut bar, even with a 1 inch spacer, it wouldn't fit i believe.

 

Concour with the wisdom above. There are a number of boxes that come and go via e-bay but if it's the $99 Zenclosure one then at 0.75 cu.ft. it's not a good match. That box will barely hold a woofer 6.5" deep - barely!

 

Approximated .75 cubic feet of airspace.



Constructed with 3/4" MDF Board

thats the box he is talking about

 

at first i tried to put the sub in the box it didnt fit becuase the back touch also it touches with the 1 inch spacer so i am going to add another 1 inch spacer to see what happens , my question was supposing the sub fits perfectly in the box will it sound good or not , thanks in advanced for all of your anwsers and i really appreicate the help

 

even if you add enough space for the sub to clear in the box, the box does not provide optimal air space for the sub. and though it may not sound terrible at all, it won't sound as good as it can.

 

Thanks for explaining that to me, i dont know much about car audio, Where can i get a box that the w7 fits in and that it will work in that looks good in the z also

 

you're best bet is having a shop custom build a box for you. or you can contact nazar (a member on this forum) and see if his shop makes a box for the W7 for the Z. I know he makes a bunch of boxes for JL subs, just not sure about the W7.

 

if i decieded to put my w7 in the box i have no will i sacrfice alot of sound?

 

Yes

 

If you spent that kind of money on a subwoofer, why not get the correect box built? Thats like turbocharging your car, but still using 87 octane

 

I have the fiberglass Nazar Box with a 10w7 and sound slowing poly fill. It is pushed by a JL 500/1. OMG!!! I never knew a 10 could be so loud.

 

You can get more info on Nazar Box... Well Strut Tower MagicBox for Z at www.wickedcas.com

 

you may wanna go thicker then 3/4" mdf....jl audio recommends at least 1 inch

 

mike on ebay has the single 10 box with amp rack. has 1.35cu.ft. subtract the woofer displacement of the 10w7(.09cu.ft) you have 1.26, which is almost perfect. the only downside is that the front baffle is 3/4. the w7 requires a 1 inch baffle. hope this helps
