http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...ayphotohosting found this and i like the way the Z is on the box wondering if its as good as the z enclosure thanks.

 

without the interior box demensions its hard to tell

 

yeah i dont think it says anywhere i just didnt know if anybody knew or not i know i hear so many good things about z enclosures it makes me wanna just get one of those but those Z's on there just kinda turn me on somthin different

-Terminal = 1 included.

-Wires = 1.5-3" of XXX oxygen free 16 GA Speaker wire.

zenclosure box has less air space Approximated .75 cubic feet of airspace.

but the back of mike's box is flush and stealth.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...0519QQtcZphoto

however mikes other box with the amp rack has more space Airspace: approx. 1.35 cu. ft

so to me it comes down to what the back of the other box looks like.. and how much air space you need for the sub you are planning to use

 

I've got a Zenclosures box specced to just over a cube....VERY happy with the quality. Give Mike a call and talk to him, he was great to deal with and the sub fits nicely.

 

how much air space do you need with a 10w6v2? the back of the box is flush as well on the other Z box.

 

These are things you should find out before now.

 

well i dont have the sub yet i dont have the box yet im deciding between two of them. The zenclosures has it listed on there there is a pic of a w6 in the sub on the website so assuming it has plenty of airspace. thanks for all the help though fluid your comment really helped me out alot.

the owners manual says for seal enclosures 0.625 ft for the 10w6v2-D4

 

cool thanks alot for your help doug i think i got it all figured out now

 

no prob

 

I have that same xtreme kustoms box. it is very well built. it does have more volume than the zenclosures and still it reamins flush on the front side of the strut bar. nice box

 

If the box is .85 and the sub needs .625, then you can measure out and liquid-nails some wood (2x4's, etc) to the inside of the box to bring the internal volume down.

 

the more airspace wont hurt the sub though will it? cool street oc i just bought it last night so cant wait to get it got all my goodies comin now should have them here hopefully by the end of the week.

 

More space won't neceserily 'hurt' a sub physically, but it will alter it's tonality slightly. MOST subs (not all) have about a 10-15% tolerence. So if your sub wants .7 cu ft, then a .85 cu ft is not within tolerence, but it probably won't make 'that' much of an audible difference.

I have a Diamond D6 10 in this same box (.85 cu ft) and Diamond suggests .625 cu ft, and I think it sounds fantastic. I was going to reduce the volume using the method I described above, but figured I would hear how it sounds without doing that first. I have no future plans of reducing the volume.

 

Larger volume makes the sub louder (and more prone to failure), a smaller volume makes the sub quieter, and to a small extent more precise. But the rec. volume is what you should aim for.

 

Mike (Zenclosure's) makes great boxes...he makes a good selection of boxes w/ different volumes; going w/ a Zenclosure's box gaurentee's quality and service.

 

well i already ordered the box and the main reason i went with the other guys is because of the Z its different and i think it looks great if you check out a couple pics on his site it looks very clean. Pretty sure ill be happy with it should be here tomorrow.
