Just got done with my new speaker box. This time I went with a "Line-x" finish and it turned out great.

6X9


Installed on original shelf mounts


View between seats


1 of 3 terminal cups on bottom side

Took a lot of time, but was not too hard. Give it a try!

p r o f e s s i o n a l!

 

I just watched an episode on tv that went thru installing custom speaker/dash pieces and I'll tell you, yours looks AWESOME!! Great job!

any pictures during the install?

 

Sorry, my camera was down for the main part of the build. It was nothing special though. I ordered MDF rings on Ebay and glued them to the MDF base. Covered it all with felt and added the fiberglass...just like my last project I detailed on YotaTech.

Very professional looking job... I'm impressed...

 

Very nice job on both pieces.

 

thanks for the link. those two pieces look really good

 

Looks AWESOME! Soon I'll have a center console housing two 8" subs, but I'll little to no fiberglass. Fiberglass enclosures flex too much when you throw a lot of power at them.
Again good job and the line-x gives it that "off-road" touch and feel.

 

Dude it looks really good , Where is the amp going?

 

Those side speakers look huge (maybe it's just the picture), are they 6x9?

 

I have read about the flex issues, but did not think I would have too much problem with the 10" woofer my small amp. Plus, I used "Baltek Mat" between my fiber layers. I used it only on the flat surfaces of the box, as the rounded surfaces are suppose to be stronger.

Here is the link to where I ordered the Baltek.

It's under the passenger seat.

They are 6x9.

I figured it was reinforced(sp) in some way. But I, personally, only use fiberglass to make some stuff look good. I like to build enclosures to certain specs to get the sound I want and flex changes those specs.

Are the 6x9s in separate chambers or the enclosure one open space?

 

Have any photos of the build of thew box before you line-x'd it?

 

No I did not. My camera was down. I used my kids camera to take the final photos. The surface looked the same as it does now, but was the color of the body filler I used.

Next build I will make sure to take more photographs.
