XtremeRevolution's Subwoofer Boxes

[SmittyEisenhower]

I will be interested in one in the future Xtreme. I PM'd you but never heard back. I just want a little more information on one.

Hey, sorry about that. I found your PM and replied to it.

Look at this website to see if you can find what they are selling locally at a home depot. Don't just buy any random insulation as it won't work. Acoustic Insulation - Order Online, Ships UPS

This is good advice! I have a 1/2 bag of Roxul Safe'n'Sound leftover from insulating the wall between my laundry room and TV room in the basement. According to Roxul's website, this is the same stuff ATS is selling at HUGE markups... basically mineral wool at 2.5 lbs/sqft:

Roxul Safe'n'Sound

The link also shows it's acoutic absorbtion properties... nice even performance at 250 Hz and above. With my divider wall insulated the TV room is much quieter, and the "weak link" for sound transmission is now the hollow core door leading into the laundry room.

I was planning to use this stuff in audio projects anyway, but until now I didn't realise it was a reccomended material for the purpose! HD Canada sells it by the bag for $38... that's 12 pieces 16x48x3" thick, vs 6 pieces 24x48x2" thick for $36 at ATS. It pays to investigate:

So most of the stuff has come in (but still in boxes) and I'm probably going to get started on my project next weekend. I've done a bit of searching and reading on the stereo upgrade threads & I've got at least one question in preparation, with the PAC AA-GM44 I'll be running to the (5 channel) amp in the trunk, will I need to run speaker wire back to the front speakers or is there some magic that the PAC does that will keep me from having to do that?
And I'll be heading to HomeDepo to to see if they cary Roxul here in KY..
Thanks!

You'll need to run new speaker wire to the doors and tweeter pods.

Initial post updated to reflect pricing for baffles and sub boxes. Sub box prices went up due to an increase in tooling and materials costs on my end. This does not affect orders that have already been placed.

Hey man,
Looking to hook up my sub in my cruze. It is an Alpine type R 10inch. The amp it is connected to is a Kenwood KAC-9104d.

Subwoofer Specs
Qes: 0.53
Qms: 8.7
Fs: 29hz
Vas: 26L (0.92 ft3)
Sd: 332 cm2
Xmax: 20mm
RMS Power handling: 600/1800w

I would love to put this sub in the drivers side rear corner of the trunk, in somewhat of a custom shaped box to fit the area. Here is a picture of the area, and another sort of how I imagine the sub fitting in there. Let me know if you think it is possible/reasonable. My primary goal of the box is to maintain trunk space by efficiently using the corner yet still maintaining exceptional sound quality/style. I mostly listen to dubstep/house/edm music.

Thanks a ton

You'll need about 0.80-0.85 cubic feet gross volume for that. Sure, it's possible, but not easy to do with MDF. I would just go with a standard box and put it somewhere else in your trunk. Your only real option otherwise is to get a fiberglass box that's made to fit in that corner, and that isn't going to be cheap.

IDQ12 box for apr1209 just got done...




If anyone is interested in having me build a box, please note that there will be some delay. I recently had many orders come in and will be tied up. So far, here's what will be ahead of you:

ShoelessJake: baffles
crzeco12: IDQ12 box & baffles
beld2478: Dayton HF10 box
Zerosink: Dual TB 8" box & baffles
Joerg P: TB 8" custom fit corner box for a Honda CRZ

That's 4 boxes and 3 sets of baffles. It will be a busy weekend for me...

I am VERY happy with the enclosure XtremeRev built for me. It is solid (and HEAVY!). If I tried to build one myself it would look like a birdhouse constructed by a 5 year old as a kindergarten project. On a bad day. And no self respecting bird would live in it. Which would be OK, because it would have been a sub enclosure, not a birdhouse. But you get the point.

If you need one of these, I would certainly recommend that you contact Professor X. He will take care of you!
