Need a Sub Box???

[Ritsui]

The day looks OK. I still don't have an 8" sub yet, but it shouldn't matter. I can port and pad the box after putting in a speaker.

 

[Ritsui]

FWIW, you flat out cannot buy a component speaker within short driving distance of Lake Arrowhead. If you want to put it off until I have a speaker, I'll be off the mountain next week and can pick up or order a sub before then.

....I'll be calling you in a few minutes...

....I'll be calling you in a few minutes...

Are these imperial standard minutes or some other kind ? :

JK, but I'm still not going to commit to tearing the insides out of the truck unless you confirm a time

 

[Tbars4]

...:shifty_ey Stay tuned, the event will be happening tomorrow...

EDIT: Post #10,000

 

[Tbars4]

...The template and Ritsui's custom stealth box are about half way finished ...:biggthump

 

[Ritsui]

And it hasn't started raining yet

 

[Tbars4]

...:shifty_ey We got a bleeder...But don't worry, it wasn't me...:

 

[cybergasm]

no build photos or anything? wtf? :

 

[Tbars4]

...I got some pics coming later...Didn't get to good of a pic of the bleeding though...

 

[Ritsui]

Thanks Tbars. This is going to be REALLY nice .

I'll be tied up for a few days and have some other work to do on the Ex before I put in a speaker, paint/carpet the stealth box... but when I do I will post the pictures here.

 

[Tbars4]

...Your very welcome....and Thank You...:biggthump

 

[Tbars4]

...A couple pics of the Small Sub Box...

...This was built for those who have hidden amps or other elctronics stashed in this area as Ritsui has...

 

[Tbars4]

...These will fit the first and second gen X's, 2 door and 4 door models...

...This one shown is 19"'s wide and I can make a larger one that is 27"'s wide...

...If I get a request of 10 or more I can make them all at once...Then I will start a new thread with new pictures and show both boxes...

 

[cybergasm]

so how is this box secured inside the panel?

 

[Tbars4]

...This box is designed to fit snug and have as much air space inside of it as possible...

...This box will fit behind your tail light connection with enough room for the factory defrost and light cables to fit on top of the box, and under the rail as originally installed...It also has a nice curve over the wheel well, again, for a snug fit...With a piece of carpet on it's face, it will fit more snug and will also help keep the panel from vibrating against the box...

...You can see the ledge under the window in this pic, (where the white clips are), you can either mount L brackets or strap it, to this ledge..

Thanks Ted put me down for one please.

 

[Tbars4]

...Now I just need 9 more people interested so I can get them built and figure out shipping..:scratch:

...I also need someone with a 3rd gen so I can make one for that model...

 

[CJExplorer]

How much are you asking? and if i decide to buy, could you save it until we could meet up again?

 

[Tbars4]

...I haven't worked it all out yet but at the most I'm thinking , $80 local pick up and up to $100 shipped...

...I guess the interest in the 2 sizes of the box itself is also an issue...The box shown is 19" wide and takes less material but the same amount of pieces and time to cut and build...

...The larger 27" one takes more material, is a bit larger and weighs more for shipping purposes...

...I want to build 10 all at one time but I have no problem holding it till we meet up...If you have the sub with a template, I will also cut it for free while you wait...
