I am wanting to install a subwoofer into my 2+2. I had a bit of a search both here and at TT.net and it appears I can use a stealthbox (if I was rich), what styles of boxes have you guys made etc?
I will get you photo's as soon as i get my bloody car back The panel beaters are all having a little chrissy break and i am having trouble getting the MINOR work i asked for done in time BUT we custom build wood frames then produced fibreglass molds from that, so really you can make what you want ??? Steven with the ferrari tail lights has seen my subs and custom work, mostly all hidden They were going to start off flat and just above the rear suspension (2 seater) then my mates got bored of the minimalist view on everything i have (yeah especially when hiding everything from cops and theifs) so they suprised me by changing our frame and made 1/4 circle boxes that sit up behind the front seats... man i can't wait to get photo's, this questions been popular lately Anyway i found everything real easy except the sub boxes and got my mates in to help... rear speakers, built custom brakets and it all fits in perfectly into the old interior to within mm either side, got 6x10 in the rear 4ways... got 2 10" peerless subs with brainvibrator amp, with peerless 6" infront and seperate splits and DVD player with front speaker running dolby5.1... amp runs about 1100amp and the subs i got set up (can run 1200amp) won a sound off in a mates car against a lot of 12"subs. The sound in the Z right now is like concert level and i actually run the bass at -1 most of the time as the bass is just incredible Showed Steven and the guys who went up old pacific highway ages ago, and they didn't mind watching the car DVD's while we were parked between stages ??? Since i was doing all the work and mates knew the right people to get their hands on the equipment, it all turned out real nice and cheap too in the end... just lots and lots of beer and hair pulling getting everything to look smik and almost factory type look
Keep in mind, just finished instal... still real dusty & things still off BUT the idea is there.... looks real hidden from the front etc... only once you open the back can you see it really well... so got more close up shoots like these NOT TOO OBVIOUS SEE IF YOU CAN SEE THEM BEHIND SEATS... Not to High etc As you can see car still been finished up completely covered in dust etc
custom sub box i posted yesterday and no one replied. I want custom sub box for my 2 10's but i want to keep my boot space and make it all look neat. Do you knowanyone i could speak to in the syd area? Cheers
I tried to reply to you, but aus300 as always stuffing up Am looking at extra setup just like Pete's I know a guy in sydney i could refer you to.. PM me if you are keen... also you'd have to be willing to travel a little Anyway my setup, takes up no boot space what so ever All suspension area and parcel shelf enjoy designing your own =)
AAA AAD00R, that is INSANE!!! I mean that in the are u crazy way, more than the that looks awesome way. Are you telling me u have 2 ten inch subs right behind your head and your passenger's head? You have a 2 seater, the question was for a 2+2. I don't think that setup works in a 2+2. But if it does, I'm gonna give it a go behind the rear seats. I don't think I'm crazy enuf to rest my head 10cm away from a 10" subwoofer. That's the reason why you're 10" setup is beating the 12" set ups. How does a fibreglass enclosure sound? I'm a bit of purist when it comes to audio. I'm most likely going to use wood, because of convenience and sound quality.
Thanks for the replies --> Some great ideas and setups there. I am keen to have some thing like TekTrader has got below: Does anyone have the measurements etc to build one of these?
See for sale section and have a look at JAMYZ for sale zed Install... Very tidy and out of the way...
HAHAAH ...That's right Spacefrog....I am Crazy The subs are more like Neck level hehehe but yes still pump your brain full of noise... i could only get real close up pictures as it was dark and had to use flash and ahhhh... looks much better in person then on camera, and i will try to get better pictures from a little further away There is actually more room there then you think ??? I was going to go behind the seats, but not enough room in 2 seater... i did say it might not work in a 2+2 but, then again if i had one, with my crazy friends we'd have some sort of crazy setup done anyway hehehe Getting car some time this week... can't wait to enter it into a sound comp... the peerless are so crystal clear they blow 12" subs away Little crazy but tell ya what... no one has complained so far, just the neighbours hehehe i had the car parked at a friends party in the garage, we had people complain from 5 houses down, the bass just carriesssssss down the street =)
Re: HAHAAH ...That's right Spacefrog....I am Crazy I am looking at going three ways. Something will need to happen soon, cos having a loose autobahn box floating around in the zed isnt working so good. 1. I will remove the rear seats and build an enclosure in there? 2. I will put a false floor in the boot, just below the level of the cargop blind and mount sub(s) in their. This would mean i have no boot left but i can store stuff in the rear seat if need be? 3. Trying to build an enclosure down the side of the boot, behind the shock towers, so that I can still put the targa tops in the space left in the middle of the boot. The targas are more or less all I ever put in there anyway.
Re: HAHAAH ...That's right Spacefrog....I am Crazy you could build a sub box or two to be the 'rear passengers' and strap them in with the seat belts. you'll still have use of your rear seats if needed
My Custom Install - PICS Inside... Here are a few shots of my install. I finished most of it last weekend...it took me around 3 weekends to make - and a big headache afterwards... But it was worth it...pumps pretty hard...have to turn the subwoofer setting on my deck to -2 because it's just too loud... Cheers Rob.
Exactly! If I need to cart things around in my boot, I have my other car for that...The Zed is my weekender/hobby car. Rob.
sub enclosure specs I just recently got my hands on a pair of Sony Xplod 12"s model XSL1220 and the box that they came with dosen't fit properly in my zed, i had to lay the rear seats down and fit the box in sideways so i was just wondering if anyone has made up their own boxes to fit in the back of a zed or some sort of easier configuration. My zed is my daily so i don't want to loose all boot room and i can make the enclosures myself, all i need are the specs and i want to get a nice sound from the subs as i'm told a good enclosure can do wonders for the subs
hmm.. not quite what im after more like oz's. is that a sealed box.. in the back? Maybe you already know but if it is youll need to have a dividing wall between the 2 otherwise youll end up stuffin them due them trying to push and pull at the same time..? cheers
