heres some pics:

Looking good so far.

How is access to the light units? Looks a little tight?

The idea is to pull the box out then change the bulbs, to be honest it's going to be as big as I can get it as there's not much volume to be had out of this space, I may need to bring the sub hole outward just to gain that more flexablity with the general depth some subs can be

Excellent job AudioGuy!
It's a shame that I won't be able to buy you this box as I'm very very far away, but I'll borrow your idea.

Did you have the chance to measure the capacity? Any idea of which sub to fit there?
Has anyone tried the MB Quart RLP304? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--YXV30I_DU).

Thanks!

the problem is its hard to measure the volume as its not cubed or even in depth, the only way i can see it done would be to fill it with water then measure whats emptyed out, i would think a flat sub or venting "porting" box would be better but we'l see, i dont really like ported boxes

yer looks good, anything mb quart is value for money

Either that or use sand? Means you won't ruin the insides of 1 of the boxes then with water?

grity grit grit

Those Rockfords seem to be an excellent choice!.
The 10" series require 16.5 litres for a sealed box and I think would be the best fit for this place, that do you think?
The 12" series require 29 litres for a sealed enclosure and I don't think we've got this in this little stealth box.

i think both will be fine as far as i can see, well see when the fist one is complete as long as it stops raining

Maybe you can try putting a big plastic bag inside the box and wighting it on a sacale, then pouring water inside until it is full, and measure the capacity by the weight difference when it is full minus empty.
Finding out this value would be really helpfull to choose the right subwoofer.

Thanks for your work!

good idea

Although not difficult it seems more complicated to measure the weight of the water and convert it into a displacement. Perhaps easier to just measure the displacement straight off?

Those subs are a bit pricey to my mind by the way...

do a google search, i can buy them straight from pro-plus if needs be, there based in north london

Not difficult at all - 1 litre of water equals 1 kilogram, so if you use a known capacity container to pour the water (such as a 1 litre bottle), you will know exactly the sub volume when it is filled to the top.
Thats just an idea anyway.

Fair enough. Taking that approach though you could dispatch with the scales and rely on your ability to count.

I'm just going to use the bag and water then measure it, the first one built will be mine and a little water won't hurt, then your all have a rough idea of the boxes volume, anyway i'd better crack on with it today, be ready for updates

I think ill be another one up for this

I don't want massive base, just for my music to sound fuller

Is this a group buy then? I've got a SW in the boot, I can unplug the connectors easy enough but I would quite like the extra room using this stealth box, might even buy an empty box to store oil, wheel nut lock, screen wash, tools..in fact what about a box the other side just for that (got my CD changer wedged in there with a pillow, but it will be largely redundant if I ever get around to making my ICE system go digital...

heres the update, loads done today

i must clear up now

Looks good. Big old sub you have in it there.

yer i know i just need to get an idea of how it was gonna look and if a average sub would fit, all in all i think it went well

i didnt get started till 12am today so not bad work in 5 hours, now the box shown here is just a tester and if i can get it to work well i'l stuck the finished item in my coupe.

now that the box dried iv taken it in and out from the boot and is easy to remove and fits like a glove, iv got a few more layers to lay tomorrow but its not far from finished structualy.
iv then have to cover it in black carpet and then work out how to cover up the bulb holders nicely

Coming along nicely

This looks a good project. I certainly would be interested if this was a group buy . If however Audioguy you dont go down that road, I would be willing to purchase plans, if that was possible.

i'l try and make as many as i can but its the naibours im worried about as i dont need agro, as you can imagine its a very messy job and theres dust everywhere but as long as i can get the tenplates sorted out i can do this else where or on site

So it does not need a shallow sub then? What do you think a viable mounting depth would be?
