So Rick was kinda enough to hook me up with some Sound Stream XS-12 subs...so I kidnapped Y8s' and forced him to use his superior skills and built me an enclosure.

Now I has bass.

FWIW, 2'x4' sheets of MDF do not fit in a miata very well

How does it sound? Specs on sub and amp?

it's honestly not that heavy....makes up for my loss of power steering, windows, and mirrors

 

I can attest to this.

 

Pictures noob.

 

I see two, with one quoted...that makes three pictures.

 

i never liked having a sub in the trunk. when your driving with the top down its useless. i would recommend you have your friend make a box for the foot well and get a 8 inch or 10 inch sub, its the best sound you can get.

 

Or get a hardtop. Makes my 10 sound much better.

 

You can hear it quite well with the top down. I was rocking out with my **** out this morning...Slipknot's double bass pedal pounding into my chest.

 

NOW there is.

 

here's three more so you can see the construction of the box better:

 

just because you dont know how to design a trunk sub and have a legless boyfriend doesn't make trunk subs bad.

mine is awesome with the top down at 80 on the freeway. but see since I have a leggy gf and 10 years of subwoofer design under my belt.. I did what I had to do.

 

DaNGER TO TEH KWARTR PANL!!!11!

 

**** aint moving with the amount of **** I have in the trunk...but you can see my double layer of cardboard.... will be replaced with foamage and the box with be secured.

 

What's the sheet metal cylinder next to the box?
