welp i went from 8 gauge wire nd 12 inch pioneer sub with 200 watt amp in my old dakota sport, than upgraded to 4 gauge wire and 2 12 inch ma audio comp subs with 1200 watt amp(was in my r/t).....

so whats the point for the overkill?

[00DakFlameRT]

Cuz im young(19) and have a passion for blowing money on what i think is badass...hense y i got an r/t :hail:

[Addicted2Blue00]

not what i meant. are you just wanting it to be loud? is it goin to be just for show? or for competitions?

i could pull up in your driveway and shake shit off your walls and shelfs, last time i metered i hit 148.8 with a SEALED box, now its ported at 40hz with specs direct from my sub maker and fiberglassed inside. im only running 2-12s with 1200w amp in a 4.4-4.5 cu box

Mines also to spec and 40hz ported but my 3 10's im planning to keep sealed..im gonna use it for competition, have look show quality, and loud as can possibly be.
By the way how much did fiberglassing ur box run you, i was looking to get the outsides done but still have a mdf base, also how much time it take and cost of supplies if you did it yourself?
Im really not trying to rebuild my 12 box cuz i got 250 in it alone nd its no fiberglass involved

[Addicted2Blue00]

it was actually pretty easy, add a coat and let dry for an hr then add another coat which i repeated the process 4-5 times before letting it cure for a couple days. i prob had $15-20 in it. i build my own boxes so it doesnt cost much more then the price of a 3/4" mdf, 3/4-1" dry wall screws and 2 tubes of liquid nail caulking, for fiberglass just add the cost of 1 gal of resin, matting and 2" paint brushes which glassin will just make the box stronger and wont allow the box to flex and absorb.

there are plenty of sources online to help build a box, the most need info ya need is the details of the sub/subs as drivers size, magnet, coil etc.


heres my setup

were can resin even be bought? and it always looks so technical building those rings and "stilts" that hold up the subs..i dont have no wood shop stuff and hate paying people to do things i feel i can do myself

Homedepot, lowes, autozone paint supply stores etc... Regular fiberglass or polyester resin works just fine. No need for expensive stuff. The last box I did was for a friend. Cost about $200 in fiberglass materials. That included resin, body filler and scratch puddy.
