Rear cusion delete sub boxes, how to

First you make the baffle board and tape off your interior (after pulling rear cusions)

After f/g sets, pull out boxes and trim off excess f/g. Pulling boxes will pull out some of your tape, retape were nec.

Next you put the boxes back in and fill with duroglass (fiberglass filler/putty) use enough so you will have excess to grind off

Pull boxes again and grind/sand off excess duro, check fit

Next mix bondo and resin together (thick soup consistency) and pour in boxes. swoosh around to make sure you get good coverage. This helps with any pinhole leaks you might have. It also makes the box less bongy (a problem with f/g boxes

The carpeted ones are in the clasifieds as we speak!

Reminds me of the subwoofer where Howard Stearn would have his lovely guest seated while purring into the mike.

Cheers,

Um, without trying to be juvenile but doesn't that look like a 2-seat port-a-potty to you?

LOL! Yes they do. When carpeted they pretty much disappear.

Interesting but isn't the freq response of the sub cabinet based upon the internal volume of the enclosure. So what you have is a sealed enclosure with very little internal volume.

Most 8'' woofers are designed to work in .35 cubic ft. This box is right there, too big of box and you loose output, too small and you loose bottom end. The days of large sub boxes for the most part is over.

Nice results. Looked to me like emergency porta potties first.
Good thing they are speakers.
No put on the Mozart CD.

How do they attach??

One screw thru the bottom

So you have to remove the seats and belts to fit it all in place then?

yes. They would probably stay put w/o the screw making them easily removable.
