home made access cab sub box

hey everyone,
i figured since i had not seen any awesome sub box ideas for the newer 2nd gens with the worlds dumbest center console, i would post what i had made.
i like my design more since i am 6'2 and have to half my seat all the way back and cant settle for the kind that makes you slightly farther forward. it is a 10in sub to.

 

Pictures?

 

sorry wouldnt post in the the thread creation

 

Nice work man! I have the wider one you cannot use. I am only 5'10", so it works good for me.

 

Nice! Looks good, how much volume inside there? Heres my access cab solution but i could only fit an 8" shallow mount

 

when i did the math i believe it was enough volume for a 12 i tried to build one the way you did and could not get enough clearance for a basic 10 and did not want to spend more on a shallow. i wanna say it was 1.5 or 1.75 cubic ft. they only thing i wanna do is fiberglass it.

 

Kinda nifty there

 

Nice thats a pretty good size, i wanna build a bigger one some day. Ya mine is like .35 cf, i was able to find a shallow mount with .3 cf ideal volume, it hits surprisingly hard for being so small.

Why do you wanna fiberglass it? Are you looking to get rid of the carpet and paint it?

 

no not really, when i did it i did not take my time so when i did the "coutoured" bottom the lines are not perfect and i can "hear" imperfection. haha and also with less give i will get more BUMP as if it is not already enough for the access cab.

 

Thanks, it was alot of work for a little bass. I had to cut apart the metal seat frame, cut the carpet, figure out how to support the seat with the sub box. But i need the back seat for my dogs and i wanted something stealth so it was worth it for me. For most people with access cabs it makes alot more sense to do what the OP did

 

if i throw in the sharpstown tunes (ghetto of Houston) i can almost feel the brown note coming to me. haha

 

Mine is the wide one and it has .96 cf of volume. A 10" woofer should have about .9 cf min. in a sealed application.

 

Oh i see. That would be pretty tricky to fiberglass and get perfect, but i have only done a few fiberglass projects so i don't know all the tricks of the trade. If you pull up the carpet you could probably make some kind of brackets to hold the box down with no movement, you would have to cut some of the carpet tho for the brackets to come through.

 

Oh shit just noticed you're in Magnolia...I'm close(ish) to tomball

 

i wanna say iv seen your truck before! i spend lots of time in tomball. there aint shit to do in magnolia. haha

 

I'm up through there occasionally... . Well have a north side meet one of these days.

 

i might have had my math wrong but ya its enough for a 10, and i love the table you built over the box its genius.

 

I wanna hear one of these subthump boxes, i bet the downfiring sub sounds really good in an access cab. Scratch that i want to hear your system lol, i think i have told you that before.

 

that would be awesome man, im curretly stuck in the hell hole called san antonio for school but head back home all the time.
