Bronze Member Username: MesodummTri-City, Az Usa Post Number: 43 Registered: Apr-07 | The foam backed stuff would work but you have to put a seem, joint or fold in it at endsor corners to make it work out I helped with a Deville a few years back he had whole car upohlstered "spelled that wrong I think" so box had to match it to. |

Bronze Member Username: MesodummTri-City, Az Usa Post Number: 81 Registered: Apr-07 | Fisher Customs uses it, it cost more but he say's is better than MDF I think 80% of the wieght or something like that. I tried to find it up here but everyone has to order it! Did you already get all the specs for your new box?? I have been thinking about doing a new box in my jeep, I like the one in there but I think I can get atleast 1 cu.ft. more in it! Plus I think I am going to add a pair of 8" up in the rear corners. Here's a link Fisher Customs thread so you can see the trupan light. Have a good one! https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/355020.html |

Silver Member Username: Wolf_houndPost Number: 206 Registered: Sep-05 | That guy makes some really nice boxes. I was thinking 3.6 cf tuned to 34hz RF reccomends 2.0 for each sub but due to space this is what i could fit what do you think? I saw your thread in the sub section you have any amps that do 1000+? |

Bronze Member Username: MesodummTri-City, Az Usa Post Number: 98 Registered: Apr-07 | Alot of time if my cu.ft. is off I actually contact the subs tech support. and they will put it in there computer and give you details.. The box programs are nice but you always have to remember these companies spends crap loads of money in R&D of there product so if anyone knows there product better, It would be them!! I tune mine 34hz to 38hz as much as I can That is the area I like the way they sound. What was it going in? Your vehicle? Let me know! I have the pdf of your sub but for some reason it won't load from this computer |
