Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

I built a custom speaker box for a 10" kicker solobaric sub and was just seeing who else built similar boxes for thirdgens. So let's see them!

1 - 10" Polk GNX... loud enough for my preference (I've grown out of annoying others 5 blocks away) and nothing special but, has the home stereo bass warmth I like and doesn't occupy alot of space...

You will probably have to paste this link into the address bar.

It fits in the well, and is 1 cu ft of airspace for each sub.

BArry85iroc,

Hows your subs sound those boxes look kinda small, but I bet that would work well to stick a NOS bottle under there.

Nope, I did that. It was a good idea huh...

Hey yall those are some badass speaker boxes. Hopefully when I get the dough I can have one built for me (Im not a very good carpenter).

Should I spend the extra money on fiberglass?

I only have a couple JL W6 8 inchers with a crossfile CFA-555

thanks, yah Kj is right it's vinyl with 1/2'' foam under it..... and the metal is called cheaker plate A.K.A. dimond plate aluminum. I just bought and cut everything and made it all myself.

Pro-if your buying a already built mbf box makeing your own fiberglass one will be way cheaper. but makeing your own mdf one would be the cheapest but really not too much less then a fiberglass one. The reason i built a fiberglass one was i wanted 2 12s and still not have the box higher then the hump so i could still store my ttops and the fiberglass allows you more cubic volume. All bepends on what your planing on putting in there and if you care about taking up the whole truck.

I remember that amp! I loved mine... a Kenwood 600 629s or something like that right?



That was about 2 years ago... maybe 3 actually. 2 12" Wal*Mart Pioneers, ebay box, and that Kenwood amp. Sounded damn decent too. Ended up selling it to a guy for $300.



This is my kinda current setup. I had ported the box... and then unported it lol. I made that box out of 3/4" MDF from Home Depot in one day. Lots of wood screws and caulking! Sounds good, but I have to make a nice ported one soon. I need to get a new pic of the recovered box.
