Custom ported trunk box with digital designs 8"
so me and a buddy of mine ventured out on building a custom fitted ported box for the trunk of my car, and for my digital designs 8" sub woofer. We started about 5pm, and finished it up around 1am tonight. the only thing that needs to be figured out is a way to cover the sections of wood not able to be covered by the vinyl in the very corners of the port due to not being able to stretch it that far. other than that, for 1 8" dvc 4ohm sub which is seriously underpowered it beats down the block pretty hard. I'll be getting a new amplifier to power it accordingly because it's only running off about 150watts at the moment. i'm extremely happy with the fitment and overall cleanliness though, and it's completely removable. trunk liner is all intact along with the t-top holders. and the vinyl matches practically perfectly in the daylight. better pictures will be taken tomorrow in the daylight, the dark blurry pictures don't do it justice.
what do you guys think?

I think it looks fantastic, and I bet it sounds nice too. Where you put a speaker and how you design a box are important. Stealth enclosures are nice and they don't take up room but I am going to bet this sounds better.

as far as taking up the whole trunk, it doesn't matter. this car is not going to be a daily, and nothing will ever be put in the trunk. and even when it was, i never put anything in the trunk anyways.
yes, i can def. say this sounds better than any stealth setup i've ever heard.

I think you are all underestimating this sub and enclosure combination. Now being that it's underpowered it's not going to perform to it's uttermost capability, but I've personally seen this sub and the appropriate airspace and port tuning push 145db in a crx's hatch area. It's only running on about 150watts when the rms is 500watts; so it has alot more potential than it is Currently running now. Eventually I will upgrade the amp and give it what it needs. I was going for a clean, simple, and quality setup and I'm very happy with the outcome and I think it is right on par for what I was going for. The amp is mounted on top of the battery box in the spare tire well.

By the way, what's it tuned to and box dimensions for it?

nice man!
DD's are no joke. people are saying "all that for a single 8?"
this 8 has enough punch to sound like a cheaper brand 15" when ported and givin the power

Nope not underestimating the 8" at all, I've seen them do some impressive numbers for what they are. I was siimply stating all that room taken for an 8" wouldn't have been my first choice, but it's different and if you don't need the room then I don't see a problem. The DD and Sundown 8's are getting pretty popular.

i'm not exactly sure on the box and tuning specifics because my buddy that does this for a living out of his own shop did all the figures as far as the dimensions of the actual box and port tuning. if i recall it's tuned around 40hz though. not exactly sure, but my buddy knows his ****, and has been doing this for quite some time now. he figured the dimensions and tuning stuff, and we built and wrapped the box.
indeed sir!
