Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral building a boot install

hi, ive just bought two 10 inch jbl off dikky and ive already got a 15 inch sub in my boot so theres not enough room to put two 10 inch sub boxs in the boot so iam going to have to make mine own sub boxs. whats the best material to build it out of e.g. plywood or M.D.F.

also any tips or advise would be helpful. cheers

Definetly use MDF cheap and easy to work with, the best density to work with is 18mm hope this helps

mdf is the one that everyone uses, if you can and you can afford it go for 3/4" expensive plywood, the accoustic properties of this stuff is great,
to be perfectly honest you prob wont notice the difference, so go for mdf

gogogadget is the best one to speak to mate he just done his install and it sound and looks the buisness its dead important to get the right size volume boxes for the speakers if you dont like i did then when you turn ya sound more than half way up it starts to sounds c..p and distorts, I think if ya speak nice enough he might tell you the sizes you need as i think he has a book on boot builds. If ya planning on covering it in fabric go to abacan fabrics tramere they have a leather look material which is dead cheep and they have it in all sort of colours and it looks sweet it a change from the usual black fabric ya see.

cheers for the advice guys. just bought some M.D.F so will get to work on it in the next couple of days. i just dont no how big to make the boxs as ive never has 10 inch subs before

as i said speak to go go he has a book with all the dimension and he will be able to give you more advice than i can.

the subs should come with recommended box sizes keep to them and you cant go wrong
