Driver Side Well
Driver Side Well Does anyone know with a custom built enclosure how much volume you could get out of the rear driverside well? I have searched these threads and looked on different sites and found very little. I know the subthump and JL boxes give you 0.6 cubic feet but I need more like 1.25 cubes.
I have seen some nice enclosures built and I'm sure if someone went through the effort to make it they would have measured the volume, right?
Thanx in advance!

You'll have to make one yourself to get that much air space. there are a bunch of great write ups on the web for fiberglassing and I think there is a writeup specifically for f-body's on fbodyaudio.com

I have the JL Steathbox. Got it used from a buddy and am simply amazed at how hard this thing pounds. It has twice the bass and power of the 2 free air 10's I had in my old Cavalier.

First thanx for the replys, took a while but I knew I could count on somebody to help.
I know I would get more from a custom box, I wouldn't mind building one myself but was wondering about how much volume I could get.
Any pics??

I built a custom fiberglass box, and I tried to get all the available airspace I could get for my single 12". After I laid a few layers of matt, I pulled it out of the car,
Taped the top on, then poured packing peanuts into it to get a general idea of the volume I could get. If i remember correctly, I was able to eke out .91 cubic feet total internal volume. But, that was without subtracting the volume of the speaker itself. After accounting for the sub, I think it was more like .78cu Ft. Maybe some more could be gained by extending the enclosure towards the rear-passenger's seatbelt.
If you are really willing, (and have $$$ for AAA towing) build yourself a fiberglass box on the passenger side where the spare and jack are. A fiberglass box can be made in that area around 1.3-1.5 cuft.

again thax for the responses, I have 2 12's in my Z28 and was thinking of doing the same in the SS, so I will be doing the passenger box and the drivers. I just wanted to run JL 12W6v2's and wanted more space on the driver side as to not loose SQ.
Anyone know how a .6 cubed box over the recommended 1.25 box would sound for the 12W6v2?

Here is a pic of mine pre-installed...
Sorry, but this is the only pic I have of it on my computer right now.
Edit: It also has a extra box attached to the bottom so that it takes advantage of as much airspace as possible.
