Fiberglass boxes

[97rs4life]

Well I just talked to a local shop and they offered to make me a jig to make fiberglass boxes and such for our cars. They really want to do this and I told them I would see if there was interest.

The boxes would be drivers, pass. side stealth boxes that go into the trunk area on the sides. Would be able to house 10-12" subs

Also I can get door panels/kick panels for speakers and such made up to.

Any interest in these?

It all depends on the price. thats whats makes people interested is a good price.

something that would maby interest me is a driver side stealth box for CONVERTIBLE'S!

won't work, they have a hyd. thing there for the conv. so there isn't enough room.

Also, made the rack today, it is ready to be shipped out when the money comes.

kick panels for the firbird? i know they make em' for the camaro, but i do want more vocals for the front........so a price would be able to sayme, i mean i need to hear the lyrics over my two 12" JL W 3 V series

Well are we talking about straight fiberglass boxes, or overlayed with fiberglass. I never was a fan of a solid fiberglass box, but if its overlayed lets say 3/4" mdf that would be acceptable, in which case I could speak to a few friends.

Well nice subs for the back of a bird, try a set of 2 way components in the front and another set in the back, and run a nice 4 channel give em 50-60 watts a piece, that will fill you in real good! *with proper tuning of course*

what are you talking about kick panels for speakers?

[Nikos95]

Well yes he would be talking about kick panels that hold another set of speakers.

[97rs4life]

they would be all fiberglass built. Not MDF covered with glass. Might be able to squeeze some more cu. ft. out of the drivers side stealth box this way.

front kickpanels like where my feet are?

[Nikos95]

Hm..Fiberglass generally speaking doesn't like vibration as much, and really doesn't have enough mass to allow a subwoofer to produce good strong bass.

What kind of subs are you looking at running in these, just don't want you to buy them and expect them to handle termendous amounts of power and big built subs to smash the car, because a pure fiberglass box wont do it.

Would be about perfect, if you want a light bass sound, that fills nicely sounding more like a small powered sub in a home theater system. It would be clean, and airy only draw back is you can't use a heavy hitter sub, and it wont allow the subs to create really low bass notes, we are talking around 40hz and below here where you would notice it, not something that affects most music.

Kicker L7's so ya i need deep and low i am thinking more combo mdf fiber box dor my DS

[01PewterDropTop]

i am just woundering if my convertible pump has to be on its side or can it be vertical if so I can move it for lot more space.

Erm you are about screwed, from everything I have seen about convertibles, is you can only put a stealth box in the one side. Take a look maybe you can relocate.
