My first box!

[nvrenufedge]

This is my first box. It's not carpeted yet,but I think it turned out pretty well. I'm piecing the system together. So it's taking me a while to get done. Please, tell me what ya think.

Views from the back

The amps will go in this spot.

The new subs, JL Audio 10W1v2-8. Gonna run these off a Rockford P400-2

I like it, it looks good. The wires should be not seen with that setup, and thats really nice.

Let us know how it sounds. I have been thinking of a down firing box myself.

looks good for your first one.

id recommend your 2nd one be ported though. sub up, port back

 

[playtilithrtz]

Looks good, but isnt the box a little large for those speakers?

 

[Exploderpilot]

i like it. it will be a nice clean install. look at the names in the sub box thread. there are some really knowledgeable guys here!

 

[Nasty350LT1]

You had better "PORT" that box...

Looks good.

I'd run that sealed for SQ
The down firing characteristics call for this. It will sound great!
I like it quite a bit.

My first Sub ever was in 1980--a big coffee table box with a down firing 18" dual voice sub--
I was kicked out of several apartments--

You might consider allowing the pressure waves out the other side (underneath-toward the front) also. If not some will collide and cancel each other out--I'd consider a vent hole behind the seats--
Also-if your drivers were firing to a rigid surface it would better-just a piece of MDF for a "floor"

The box looks great for a first build.

I myself am planning a new build. This one might involvo 4 15's. Not sure tho...

putting a vent firing forward is a horrible idea in an explorer...and nearly every other vehicle aswell. very little cabin gain to be achieved that way

Down firing boxes are a terrible idea from the start due to cancellation issues, especially without sound deadening. In a nice, open cargo area like we have in our Splorers it's very easy to build a box without the size constrictions that call for a downfiring box (think Jeep Wrangler).

Thier is a "dead" space area in the middle of the box. I didn't want a ported box. This is mainly my wife's rig. I built it that way so had plenty of room for the amps. Also, because I have a dog. So he can't get to the amps or the subs. I didn't want to take up a lot of room. It is the family car.
