Built my own corner sub boxes

[scuba264]

I've had these built for a while, finally got around to covering them with carpet. I forget exactly but calculated around 0.8cu.ft. per box, filled with cotton to help fake some extra space.

Front face, finally pulled them out and carpeted:


Back side 1. Didn't bother carpeting the backs, any extra room back there is for the better!:


Back side 2, with terminal cup:


Getting one side back in:


Both sides covered and both amps. Wires and Audiocontrol EQX in the pile:


Cleaned up a bit:


-2 Old School Kicker Impulse 10" subs (had these FOREVER but still work great)
-Rockford 500.2 amp for subs (right side)
-Alpine 4 MRV-F340 powering Alpine SPS 600-C speakers (left side)
-MTX RE-Q5 (can't see in the pics, mounted to the top of the trunk)
-Audiocontrol EQX, crossing at 70hz low to the subs and high to the fronts.

Finally have everything all tuned in and I'm pretty happy with the sound. Tweeters are a bit harsh still, probably will replace them eventually but overall sounds pretty great.

looks good and you retained good space

Thanks, that was my main concern. I had a just center-trunk box I had built for my old car and it took up too much of the trunk.

This way I have my whole center (Its actually a damn big trunk, just super tiny opening haha). I didn't want to mount my amps to the back of the seat 1)because I didn't want to drill holes where you could see them and 2)so I could put my seats down and put long stuff in without worrying about doing any damage to the amps or changing settings or whatever.

yep its good cause u can fit at least one big luggage through the middle. Im stuck with having to use a duffle bag when traveling

looks great man, I was going to do that exact thing, but was very worried about things in the trunk sliding around and poking a hole in a sub. So, I did this and added my PS3 and Xbox:

Oh yeah, I saw your thread a while back...very cool!

Thats why I have the speaker grills, I'd never just put open subs in the trunk without something to try and protect them. I was always worried, had a buddy who used to just throw all sorts of crap all in his trunk in highschool and ended up with a damaged sub. With the amount they move, it wouldn't take much to punch a hole or damage the surround.

Thanks man. that sounds cool, I love the clarion for sure. But, I dont like full screens actually I need a volume knob. I know they look much better full screen, but I cant live without the knob

ohh i agree, hardbuttons dont go out like touchscreens, but that 702 sure looks nice LOL
good thing for steering wheel controls

Some good Old school KICKERS. WOW. That was back in the day when they still made good speakers. I used to have many of the competition and solo-baric subs. Always used the old school Rockford punch series amps. Back then is when amps actually made power. Nice setup ya got.

@OP:

Wow, those look pretty slick.

Did you by chance build them to specs, or just kinda eye balled it ????

The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of building some of my own, and I was wondering if you had dimensions you used, or a specific volume you wanted to give the subs ????
