My enclosure is DONE - HELL YEAH!!
Okay - well 99% done. A few odds and ends need tying up - a couple screws, etc. But it IS DONE!!
Here we go: http://www.wagonsport.com/pics/newaudio/done1.jpg The "grille" is made with 1/2" solid aluminum rod - purchased at Home Depot, and bent, drilled, sanded and "brushed" by hand. Told ya' I had something up my sleeve for a nice grille - industrial-looking, and industrial strength, too. http://www.wagonsport.com/pics/newaudio/incar1.jpg http://www.wagonsport.com/pics/newaudio/incar2.jpg http://www.wagonsport.com/pics/newaudio/incar3.jpg http://www.wagonsport.com/pics/newaudio/incartop.jpg But DON'T ask me how it SOUNDS yet - I still don't have my amps, so it's not even hooked up! :rolleyes:. This was a fun project - and I'm proud of the results. Feel free to ask anything about how it was done - I know a lot of you guys are getting interested in fiberglass, and I'd be glad to help out if I can. But I'm NOT building one for you! ;) ~HH |
Nice job......you must feel good that it is done and it looks nice. Keeps from having a big box, taking up lots of trunk space.
Good job. |
Good job man.. I like the fact u dont have to be scared to carry stuff in the back. With those rods it should be very strong
|
that is tight. glad to here it is done.

That looks slick, HiHo! SO I guess you'll be out amp shopping this aster weekend then?
The rods looks great. Is there enough clearance between the rods and the speaker? I like how you got the speaker mounting holes in a straight line even across the angle between the speakers - very nice. Hey - I see what look like scratches on your bumper. I know you carry tools and shit back there - you should consider getting the bumper protector plate. I got one to prevent scratches from the dog getting in and out of the car. Looks decent and it does the job. Dale. |
Hiho, you're my personal hero.... You're the man! Looks great :)

There should be plenty of clearance between the subs and the rods.
I used small sections (about 1" long) of 3/8"OD hard copper pipe to prop up the rods. Then the mounting screws go through the rod, through the pipe, through the sub, and into a tee nut in the MDF sub ring. Very secure. I painted the small copper pipe sections with black spray paint - you can kinda see them in one of the pics. As far as my bumper - most of what you see is just filth ;) - not scratches. Truth is, there are some nicks on the vertical surface of the bumper, from parking garage idiots who don't know how to valet the car without tapping people. I DO have the bumper guard - but I've been procrastinating on installing it until --- I get those stupid nicks fixed :rolleyes:. One day.... ~HH |

Right on! That looks awsome! Wish I had that kind of talent (and patience). I don't blame you for not wanting to make one for some one else. I saw your pics of the building in progress and what a mess it seems! I also like the rods covering the subs versus the traditional grills. Way to go. :bigthumb:

That one excellent job you did ,You should be proud of what you have done . I have a suggestion if you want to hear the subs ,why not hook them up to your home system . This will give you an idea of how it will sound .

Not a bad idea, macklum.
Unfortunately, I don't have much of a home system. A couple of shelf-type systems, and a DVD player with internal amp for the 5.1 surround. Absolutley nothing with any kind of power. I can wait it out - I have a good feeling it'll be tight. But I suppose I can hook it up to the sub-out on the DVD if I get antsy, even if it isn't that powerful. And I do know the enclosure is pretty well sealed - when I push on one sub, the other pops out - always a promising sign...... ~HH |
