sub's in, box not quite finished

[rock]

can't make up my mind still how I want to finish it, couldn't find a fake suede in the right colour, then I couldn't find the right vinyl, might still paint it but don't have the cash right now and most of the panel shops are closing fro holidays now.

What colour do you want it could just cover it in a similar carpet material to whats already in the boot which can be had for next to nothing.

I'm in the diy mood, but can't find anywhere that sells those little fibreglass for beginners kits anymore.

very neat... how does it sound ? is it ported or closed.

sealed, I've been fiddling with the gain and x-over a bit and haven't got it sounding quite right yet, it was sounding a little "boomy" on some r'nb stuff.

any tips

have you packed the inside of the box with wadding? I would do this as it restricts the air to the subs and then tightens the bass up. you should also change the frequency on the x over to below 80mhz and then start with the headunit on 0 for bass. then turn gain to minimium. you can then turn it up slightly to achieve the desired sound.

no wadding yet but plan to stuff it when I cover it with vinyl - soon!

ok, wadding in and vinyled up....looks good I think. will post a pic tonight.

covering it was hard work tho......but the vinyl was cheap...20 bucks...about 1.80 pounds.
