Title: Speaker box Idea (pic)
Post by: Eric 85K10 on September 10, 2002, 11:19:00 pm

I've been thinking of the idea of a large box to build to hold two 10s, two amps, and possible component speakers in the corners. This way my amps don't mount to the back of the truck, and I can tuck the wire behind the box.



what do you guys think?

Smokin77... If I can fit 12s in a setup like this, I will, just depends on what the mounting depth of the 12s are. What kind are you running?

I have that truck in a game called 4x4 Evolution 2 and I use a freeware program called Zmodeler to make it.

Im running $40, 160max, pioneer 12s, from some floor speakers i have.
They are in my custom box, just untill i can afford infinitys, which i checked and they will fit in my box, which has a depth of... uh 6 3/4'',, i think??
Still paying off may paint job, of which i'll have pictures of soon.

I spent some time measuring some boards to mount my two amps and with two boxs on either side like in my picture above, i didn't have the room I wanted for the amps so i went with one box and the rest of the back a board with my two amps and my crossover. I'll try to get some pictures. I have an Eclipse amp running one Infinity Reference 10". Its plently of bass, alot more than my Rockford Z.

Smokin77 the infinitys you want, are they References or Kappas? I highly recommend the Reference, for the price they are real nice subs, real clean sounding hit different ranges, and they are the loudest subs I've heard for under 100 bucks.
