Homemade Speakers Box- PERFECT FIT

[Shroomy]

I have recently finished what i think is one of, if not the best speaker boxes EVER for the LS. The actual box is made from MDF (multi directional fiber), It took us about 10 hours to go from start to finish. The old box was nice but completely occupied the trunk which was kind of a pain. Now, the box fits snuggly in the space directly behind the rear seats. (see photo's below)

gutless trunk.

frontal veiw, with all the hardware mounted.

the box mounted in the car. see what i mean? PERFECT FIT!

The bass boost was noticeable, with the trunk closed it moved the license plate and offset the mirrors.

if you could let me in on the dimensions of that bad boy so i could replicate it, i would be very appreciative.... :wrench

or maybe you could build me one for a few bucks ;-P

 

[Shroomy]

well, the dimensions are one thing but the tricky part was the angles, that mdf isnt the easiest stuff to cut, especially if you dont have an amazing asortment of profesional saws.

ill go meassure and report back in a few.

ok, here are the dimensions, note that you should still meassure for yourself but this gives you a rough idea of what to do. And also note that the angles are not included, compare this with the photos of the actual box to get the full effect.

questions and feedback are encouraged!!

lenn, try to build a box of your won first, its not that hard. goto home depot and buy a sheet of mdf (16$) then get some fabric (2$) and try it out. its not as hard as it seems.

 

[Motts]

depends name a price.. i'll see what i can do.. the thing is i'm from michigan,, i'd have to build/ship blablaal

LMFAO! I knew it! Just kiddin' Lou! :N

Couple things guys. You really shouldn't build a box to fit your car and put any driver in it. Every speaker is designed to have the right cubic volume behind it. Also, MDF is medium density fiber board.

Good luck!

:bowrofl:

 

[Shroomy]

we did meassure the cubic area of the bass chamber, we also added some filling to make the chamber the proper size.

I had a box for a single 12" alpine that fit so nice. I wish i didn't sell it. It was flush with the back seat, and you could fully access the spare tire and battery.

Hey lenn, I thought me, motts, and 2k2ls gave you a crash course in box building a while ago.

 

[pour me another one]

MDF stand for medium density fiberboard
