Ok guys, I have seen many threads on here talking about how people want to place a subwoofer in place of the stock one. After much research, there is no way one can use an free air subwoofer in that location. So my friends neighbor is a custom box maker and he is currently in the process of building me a box that fits exactly into the stock location using the metal plate. The stock cover will be able to cover it, or you can see the subwoofer facing the back of the seat. I have talked to him about possibly making more, since he already made a fiberglass template of the space. I will take pictures on friday of the finished project. This is a great alternative for those who want to utilize their trunk space and have a hidden subwoofer.

 

What would he charge for the enclosure?

 

Hey thanks for the response juicehead. I pretty sure it will way cheaper than any custom boxes out there. I will make sure to take pics and let you how it sounds. If anything I will have some texas members meet up with me to confirm. Thanks.

 

please keep me posted as i am interested and would like to know if it would be a good fit for a jl 10wv2, thanks.

 

I will, I believe the cubic ft is at 1, so once I get the finished product I will check the depth mount. It is an enclosed box, but he can easily make it ported. I am very positive of a great outcome, I will keep you guys posted as the project comes around.

 

Please do, I was thinking about doing the same as I have access to CNC machines and Solidworks

I just won't have time to design something.

 

I am looking foward to hearing about this. Please let us know.

 

Sorry guys for not keeping you informed but we ran into a snag while placing the box into the space. Basically the size of the subwoofer magnet will be a limiting agent as to the size of the box. So we are still trying out different types of subwoofers for the enclosure. It is a lot of fiberglassing and shaping the box to make sure it fits right.

 

nonsense, cut out that bracket in the back and you can put anything in there

 

Yeah we did cut the bracket out but the magnet on the subwoofer has made it difficult plus the box is attached to the stock plate. The box literally slides in with the metal plate attached, fiberglassed on.

 

try using a shallow mount sub.

 

i have the wickedCAS sub box, it mounts in the factory location, but you have to take out the metal plate. i have a JL 13tw5 fitted in it.

 

Is that the corner mount trunk box? So fitting a 10w6v2 shouldn't be a problem? How much of the trunk space does it take? Thanks.

 

^^ no hes talking about in the "factory location" behind the driver seat.

 

no, it goes in place of the B(l)ose Sub behind the driver's seat. fitting a 10w6v2 may fit, but you would have to check with Wicked CAS, I believe they are still a sponsor on the site, here's the link to the old thread about this box.

i recently made my own enclosure/box that fit my kicker l7 in it :-) i was supposed to post pics like 3 weeks ago but ive been moving (FL to NJ) job searching and more moving and never got a chance to post. hopefully tomorrow will be a good day for it

 

no pix?

 

This should give you a wide range of choices.

does anyone here have that wicked box? If so any feed back on it?

 

here is my enclosure custom made by a local shop. You can print it out and have them make the same one. Mine cost $240
