well...here is an idea that i ahve been wanting to try out on a 350z...

so far i have seen three different types of boxes in the Z:

1. understrut: cheap, easy to install, but takes up trunk sapce and makes getting the spare out somehwat of a pain

2. side boxes on the back, more expensive

3. underfloor: more expnesive to do, limited by depth on the sub...

well...how about having a subbox that only takes up the area INFRONT of the arch, yet have the output of a single 10 or single 12?

the key is to use a trio or four of the elemental designs 6.5" true subwoofers...

to get an idea of why this is a true subwoofer:

anyway, if someone wants one, i want to test out this theory of mine, i will build a custom box with 3 of these suckers for $325 shipped, or if you are local, for $300, fully trimed in matching vinyl and will fit the countours of the floor area between the seats and the arch and will onyl rise up about 4-5' tops...fully refundable if it doesnt sound good


if it works, it could be a very good space saving way for the Z

 

darn.. 30 mins went by and no one take up on this? Bing, have anything to test out for Roadster community here? BTW, send me the list of text you want to update.

 

hehe, its late, we will see, i think these suckers will also openup a new kind of instlalation possiblity in the Z, with underarch box holding four of them, and say a amp tray drawer that slidesout from underneat it ...

alex, sometime in mid april i will be doing a roaster with 6 of these suckers inthe cabin

i will get the text organized asap, when i get a chance to breath...lol

im doing 2 8" w7's in that area. Then I have the 2 6.5s in the rear compartments..

 

B,

Are these the Eu-700? If so I've gotta say these will really kick some serious a** in the Z. Especially 3 of them *sighs ahahhaha

This would be perfect for someone looking for a very clean sound, and pretty insane output when they want to have it.

Someone, take this man up!~!!!

 

B,
can you pm me a little more details, I am having trouble visualizing the concept and location, but I might be very willing to work with you on this.

i will in a bit, but just imagine the space INFRONT of the arch, the floor will be raised by about 5", ahd three subs flushed in there...

I have done a infront of strut between the strut and the rear speaker.

I have change from a two sub to a single Type-X

Maybe your thinking of a different design or is the close to what your thinking of?

 

i think that what is he talking about. Nice of you to share the template.

yeah, basically, but ALOT smaller...here i got a pic:

by the way, i have NO photoshop skills lol



now, imagine when you look at this angle, just a vinly floor like this, but about 2" higher, so the top comes to that line ont he panel. flushed mounted will be three eu700 6.5" subs (4 possible)...now the nice thing is, if i chose wisely, i can potentially fit one or two amps on either side of this, at leasty one side for sure, flush mounted, so the option is there for having a pcakage box with eitehr just a sub amp, or all your amps...

the idea is to get the sound quality of a moderate 10 (whcih i have no doubt this can achieve), while taking up as little space as possible and is pretty much unseen from the driver seat...

id prob give it a shot if i were local

 

25 bucks difference kills ya? jk

i think i may have a piggy for this, and he is in your neck of the woods...

Sounds interesting, still skeptical of the reproduction of deeper frequencies from a 6 1/2...despite their excusion capabilities.

How about a 10 in the passenger footwell...

 

well, tahst what i am here to find out abou the sound capabilities...by all accounts on those who heard a set of 3 in a hatch back, they swear it sounds like it was a solid 10 or 12, with DEEP bass...hmm...

like i said, ire fundable

 

I might be interested. How long will you need my car for?

 

to biuld this? half a day... i get hte car in the moring, by afternoon it will be finished, that is if i am not wiring the whole car up.

but i am only offering ONE at this price hehe, if it works well, then the price will prolly go up by 75 bucks at each level.

 

So you'd need to cut a hole in our roof/hatch for this to work?

(sorry, i had to )

 

can you npost pics of your single sub?

 

dammit! lol

but on the side note, here is a response graph in a small hatch back...

comparison of a 12" sub (13kv), a 10" (11kv) and 4 of the eu6500



note taht the 4 6.5s have more otuput at ALL freqs level than the single 10, even at the ultra low end, and that at 30hz, they are louder than even the 12 and the kv series of edesigns subs are not cheap or flimsy subs

 

hmmm nice... i like the one the other guy built... thats exactly what im lookin for but cant find!!!
