Hey guys, just wanted to share that I just got this box in the mail. I was skeptical it was going to fit but, it was so cheap I had to try. Sure enough, it fits PERFECT. It will lay flat in the back, with the slant going with the hatch. Couldn't ask for a better fit, and for $20...

I am going to be running 1 10" w3 - can't wait to hear what it sounds like. and with speaker and box it's only a +30 lbs... which isn't bad for a pounding sub.

pics inside the car?

 

so you are putting this in the stock sub location?

 

yeah, i should have posted pics. i just have sand bags in my car right now, i tested it a couple days ago and it was perfect. i will get some pics.


and no, not in the stock sub location. in the back of the hatch, on the other side of the strut bar.

 

It will look like crap...My sound good, but IMO, should of spent a little more and just got a zenclosure...

 

how do you figure? Zen closures are over weight, over priced and waste space. you completely loose everything directly behind your seat for 1 single 10" sub. that's silly.


i just took a picture, waiting for my battery to charge a bit so i can transfer...

ok, i just sat it in there for a pic. excuse the dirt, and sand bag.. lol DAMN WINTER

 

hard to see this next one, that's with the lid closed, if you really wanna see it download it and lighten it up a bit. but, there ya go. can't beat it for 20 + shipping

 

Should of went with the zenclosure. This looks like it takes up more cargo room and does not look very good.

 

yeah, i just liked the idea of still being able to look back and see through my strut bar. plus it was significantly lighter and cheaper. isn't like you can actually fit any cargo in there anyway....

 

Well, not to be a dick, but yep it looks like crap lol...You're using just about the same amount of space, except the zenclosure looks way better by using some extra space...And there is also a box zenclosure makes that is more stealth and leaves more room for the back...Here is my stealthbox...

 

trash...

 

hey Brandon, do have a picture from inside (front seats) looking out the back. That looks SICK! Very clean.

 

go **** yourself dude. i didn't post this to be judged, just thought I would share the fact you can get a $20 box instead of a $200 box and it will work just the same. and for me, i wanted something lighter, wanted to see through my strut bar and I didn't wanna be like every other z owner with a subwoofer. to each their own, don't come in here talking nonsense.

 

Hey thanks man! And no not yet, I will get some as soon as the weather clears and post up some pics...

If you search zenclosures online, they have pictures up...

 

I just built a box for my sub, a 12 inch shallow p3. i put it in the back and for a sheet of mdf it was 25 bucks. im going to make a cover for it and do carpet soon but i like how it sounds. I dont understand why so many people are all about spending money. It almost seems like if you dont own jl equipment, your setup is garbage, and if you dont spend 200 on an enclosure, the setup looks cheap. I dont know just my two cents but like i said i have to do carpet and a cover which will cover up the sides of the sub and the amp will be going into the stock sub location.

 

^^ I spend 100 on my box, and 100 on the sub...Thats 200$...If that is too much, then don't buy a z...I'm all for doing custom work, but you have no room what so ever in the rear...At least with my so called "overpriced" audio equip, I have plenty of room, and it sounds great...

 

There is a happy medium between $5000 setups and the DIYer (like me) but dayummmmm... You gotta be joking with this, right?? That box looks like it would barely fit in a suburban... I'm glad you spent only $25 in MDF but seriously

 

Yea but to me a Z isnt a practical car anyway. Its just a really fun car to drive around. Also, this was all about the project. Being this was my first box im happy how it came out and i enjoyed building it. Sure its big and NOT custom fit under the strut bar or in stock sub spot, but when its said and done i can say i made it, it sounds great and when its carpeted and has the panel i drew up, its gonna look just as good as any of those custom enclosures.
Also this box was made taking in consideration any future upgrades. Ill post some pics when its all done and hopefully then you'll see where i am going with this. Anyhow didnt mean to jack this thread.
