Hey guys i got some new gear for my audio system which has

1 x MRD-1005
2 x Type R subs
JVC DVD HU
Custom dual chamber sealed box with subs mounted outwards

piccies included

Tom

and to answer a question from another thread about my box


I doubt it, will your car still work if you do? Hehe.

Whats with that enclosure design TF_ADVAN? What sort of effect does a setup like that have on the sound, compared to having the subs enclosed inside the box?


Dunno too much how different it sounds ill test the subs mounted inside when the box gets completed to see which way sounds better.

The box is a dual chamber design with each side having 35-36L each.
Its got 2 angled sides to make use of the back of the boot which is slightly angled.

And the new subs have managed to shake most of my car so far from what i have heard i have, boot lock rattle, wheel well, roof, aerial, parcel shelf thats all i heard from low volumes too lol

If u got any questions about the box just ask and ill do my best to answer.

looks nice! but isn't the box a little big to have the subs mounted inverted? i was pretty sure recommended cu/ft sizes normally factor in the space taken up by the sub itself?

i do love how you got the rear seat angle!! did you measure it all up correctly? i'd love to get those figures from ya for when i set mine up properly!!!

Not sure about the box being too big but the subs do hit very very hard.

I dont know if reccomended size includes the sub but i think it might. So the box is prob a little overkill but it still sounds very good, plus i have the ability to add a lot more bracing to bring total volume down. But when the box actually gets completed dont know when ill do a test of the subs inverted and inside.

What i have found is that the subs sounded better without the polarity reversed that or i initially didnt reverse the polarity.

Yeah Asylum i did measure it up had a test piece of cardboard after a bit of measuring to get the angle just right up against the wall. As the last box sat flush with the wall.

Oh yeah and ppl watch out lifting a box initially with the subs inverted, almost dropped the bugger :redface: casue of the extra weight on the front.

Tom

mmmmm...nice one Tom.

i got over trying to make two angled sides this time round, lol

Regardless of how the things gonna sound, it looks awsome.

Update sub box is now coverd in black Vinyl and back in the car again, ive lost count the amount of times i have installed and removed my system.
