Gentlemen,

If you happen to own one of Mike's Z-enclosure boxes, either single or dual chamber:

Dual Chamber: Mike Claims 1.41cubic feet (0.70 cubic feet per chamber)

Single Chamber: Mike Claims 1.35 cubic feet

Stealth Single Chamber: Mike claims 0.81 cubic feet

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/350z-...5550QQtcZphoto

Could you please give me the inside measurements of the chamber. I am designing my own enclosure (nothing like Mikes), but I can not figure out how he is getting the numbers that he is.

If you could enclose pictures as well, that would be great. I would really like to see if his box goes straight back or if it branches out on each side as it goes past the strut tower.

Thanks a million,
Joe

 

hey when you find out let me know too, i wanna build my own enclosure too,

 

no one???

 

Start here first...

You don't need Mike's measurements to make your own.

Take measurments of the box you want to build and plug the numbers in on the web page. The web page even takes wood thickness into the equation.

 

no no...i know how to make a box and calculate measurements and all that good stuff.

I just don't see how mike is coming up with the internal volumes that he is through the designs that he is selling. That is why I am wanting someone to measure the inside of their Zenclosure and take pictures so that I can understand what Mike is doing.

I am not trying to build a box like Mike's at all. In fact, I am building a box in which the subs fire downward into the floor. And before any single one of you attack this idea, let me finish the install and I will show you.

But, back to the point at hand. I am mainly wanting to see pictures of the back of the box that butts up to the section where our rear speakers are mounted. I believe that Mike has cut that section at a steep angle in order to facilitate the placement of the amp rack that he sells with the enclosure. If that is the case, I can not figure out how he is coming up with an internal volume of 1.4 cubic feet. In order to get this kind of volume and taking in cosideration of using 3/4" thick MDF with one 3/4" thick divider between the subs, the outer dimensions would need to be 23" wide x 16" deep x 9.5" high. This would net an internal volume of 1.44 cubic feet, minus the 3/4" thick divider would = 1.4 cubic feet of air space.

Someone please help...curiosity is killing me!!!

 

I don't own the big box but these measurements should be about right for the other box (-) the divider

W = 23in
H1 = 9.75
H2 = 7
Depth = 18
Thickness = .75

Volume = 1.41

I'm building two down firing box right now myself. One will be for a ported 10 and the other a single 12.

 

Where can you fit a 12? I originally bought a 12" for my RSX, but traded that in and now I can't install this brand new sub.

 

Thats the obvious point pal.....now you are gettin it!
