Subwoofer question
#13
i had 2 10" sony xplods with a Rockford fosgate punch 250
in a ported box and it got the job done and didn't take up a lot of room
did you change the headunit?
now that is hot
so i guess you know how to work with carbon fiber
how did you learn

thanks... i was actually my first time working with fiberglass/carbon fiber. quite time-consuming, but i think it turned out well.
as for learning how do it... the wonders of the internet read a few tutorials on people's websites and jumped in.

Hey coralchopper
I'm currently finishing my 12" sealed fiberglass sub enclosure. Did you use the normal fiberglass mat and then just use the carbon fiber mat for the outside layer? Also, my Bondo Fiberglass Resin tends to be yellow after it hardens, where as yours looks clear. Can you tell me whether there is anything special about the Resin and about the construction of your box.

I see that you guys who provided pics of your subs in their boxes have the boxes up against the rear seat, with the woofers firing toward the trunk, out at you when you open the trunk---this is how I have my huge sealed box with my two Fosgate 15's, and yet I always wondered if this is the right way to face the box---in a closed-trunk vehicle, such as a sedan or coupe, should a sub box fire backward, toward the trunk area, as we all have it, or should the woofers fire into the seats, forward? I have heard so many theories on this; that by firing the woofers the way we do it, it creates a "bass wave" off the trunk lip that develops and then fires back into the passenger cabin, providing more boom. But, I have also heard, that in vehicles like hatchbacks and SUVs, subwoofer boxes can fire forward toward the passenger area because it's all open back there---the bass isnt trapped in a closed trunk....is this so?

I've had my box both ways and i think it sounds like more bass when you face the subs towards the seats
but it could be in my head
