has anyone did a box under there back bar, im starting one today and i was going to go with a cvx or a cvr kicker???

 

Search on Zenclosure. Lots of people did boxes under their strut bar that way. Might give you some ideas.

 

well zenclosures makes them..just go to google and click on the images link. Then type zenclosure and you will see all sorts of pics of how they look.. perhaps it will give an idea...

Damn - DVFlyer - you beat me to it..

LOL

 

After spending a few weeks doing some research, I went with an FI Q10 with a Zenclosure .75 cubic foot box -- but your needs may not be the same as mine. I was looking for tight, sound-quality oriented bass (rather than just LOUD bass) -- at a relatively low cost.

I matched the Q10 up with a JL Audio 5001 amp. It wasn't my first choice for a sub amp (I was looking for more power), but I got a killer deal on a used 500/1.

I probably won't have the whole system setup (including new head unit and front stage, with amp) for anther week or so -- but I am convinced that the sub setup is going to meet my needs.

FI Q10 (used) -- $150

Zenclosure (new) -- $110 (ask Mike @ Zenclosures about his my350Z specials!)

JL Audio 500/1 (used) -- $125

why not feed the driver full rms instead of 1/2 rms

 

I talked to a couple of people that were running the Q10 with 500-600 watts and they were happy with the results. Admittedly it would be better to hit it with 1K.

Find me a quality class D amp that'll do 1000 watts at 2ohms for $125 and I will buy it.

 

I just bought a Zenclosures box and in trying to figure out how to get it under the strut bar??? Do i need to remove the plastic pieces and then slide it under???

 

sub fires towards the rear.

Place box with hole towards rear of car behind the strut brace (closest to the rear of the car) and slide forward (towards the front of the car) and it should go in with a little bit of wiggle. No removal of pieces or modifications are required for box installation.

All directions are taken from the perspective of the device (the car) while in use.

 

i copied there idea and builtmy own looks exactly the same and cost 40 bucks instead of 120 or w/e they charge... if i still had the relative specs ide give you them but this was 2 years ago haha.

 

I have never tried that. If you do it successfully please let me also know so that i can try in my car.

 

If you need an amp rack you can get that from us.
We also have the Strut tower enclosure made out of fiberglass for 3X10" Subs. You can order them with subs and amps if you like.
