I was looking through eBay one day and came across this Custom enclosure and wondered if anyone has this or think it would be good to use.

Looks like a good box to use...wonder if they make for other makes.

It would probably be ok. The problem is that different subs have different volumes for optimal volume and sound. You might want to do a bit more research. That box would work, but you could build your own box that would also accomodate your amp too and have the exact specs your woofers need for that price. And if you're going for the higher end speakers, I personally wouldn't go less the 3/4" (2cm) for the thickness of the MDF. In my own experience, the thicker compound usually has better resonance. Do it custom, do it right.

i have it. great for the money. He can customize it for your subs. 10 inch, 12 inchm single or dual. i told him the speaker i was usiing and he build the box to jl audio specs. Awesome guy.

so its been awhile since I had a stereo in my whip but can you leave the regular stereo unit w/ navigation in the dash and just add the subs with an amp? ...all of this without replacing the head unit?

Yes you can....I have one JL Audio 12W6 with a JL Audio 500/1 amp and a JL bass ****. Left the interior mids and highs stock. The thing hits HARD!!

I was told that I would need a 1000 watt amp to run a 10" w6...?

thats a lie...

a 10w6v2 can handle up to 400 watts rms.. i believe probably considering the 12w6v2 can handle up to 500-600 watts rms.. 1000watts rms is 12w7 range..

Two things that worry me:

- 3/4" and 1/2" MDF Construction
- Sealed air tight with liquid nails caulk

IMO, when using MDF, sub enclosures should use at least 3/4" mdf all around, other than for bracing.

Liquid nails is not the best option for bonding wood. Wood glue works best

I have the exact same setup, and it doesnt take up all the little trunk space we have left too. It hits waaay hard ! That ebay setup would be good if it was just meant for one

send the ebay vender a message and ask him to build it to whatever specs you need. id even ask him to use thicker wood and wood glue if thats something you want also. im sure hell do whatever you want and just adjust the price accordingly. I run a 10w6v2 and a jl 500/1 and its perfect.

it's actually true. you always want to overpower your sub for better clarity and control

i was running a 12w6v2 .. 2 of them at 1000 watts rms with a 1000/1v2 and it was fine.. one of my subs went out so i got it replaced.. so i was running one sub at the time on one w6 and it got coooooked.. it sounded nice ya but ur going over almost twice the power rating! maybe its just me and i have bad luck with audio equipment lol
