it has to be 10" for the rf box. Probably the p3 shallow or higher if they make em


But what I'm saying if you should get a box made to your subs specs. They all have different size of magnets and whatnot. All have different air space.

yeah I was looking into it. I'd like that. Paint it jet black with gloss. It would match so sexy. Think I should try it?

I can do it just fine. I'm not paying someone to fiberglass my box for me. I only needed my 13w7's built because they had to take out the back seat and fabricate it.

160dB is achievable..

Its the sound pressure level, its just air pressure, its not technically actual sound.

The comp I went to down in NH had a Jeep Cherokee that his 167dB, I believe the highest record of subs hitting was ~170dB.


Easily first place.


There are a lot of factors, that can affect the readings, meter used, type of mic, sea level, even temperature.

So its never the same, sometimes youll get a really high number even if you know its not supposed to be that high or low. But in a comp it doesnt really matter as long as everyone is tested using the same meter and under the same circumstances

fiberglassing is not cheap or easy but if done right can be amazing

my box for example not only fits exactly the space that my spire tire used to take up but is also in the perfect range of space for my subs

there are a few ways to make the box and it depends on your sub/space/sq vs db levels you want etc etc

if you are serious about fiberglassing I can tell you a bit about it but I would recommend staying away from it unless it's a vehicle you are serious about keeping because it is a pain in the ass
