Z32 aftermarket subwoofer box options

nismo300zr2 · Subject: Z32 aftermarket subwoofer box options Sat Mar 28, 2009 2:55 am

so when i bought my Z the only upgrades were a wing, rims and audio. not even a KN filter! sweet!

anyway.. im still pimping around this monsterous universal wedge box housing 3 10" MTX subs.

im long past the 'down the street booming' and have since bought a Q logic cylinder shaped home for a Rockford 10". It sits pretty nice tucked into the corner of the 2+0 but im looking for an even cleaner install.

Have you guys seen the custom boxes for Z's that use the sides of the trunk area allowing you to still stow the TTops?

im thinking about getting one for my 10. maybe another, to house the battery and or capacitor. thoughts? any other options?

i want to be able to put the tops back there still, and want a clean install for the shows.

i like that setup myself, but it you want a more stealth look put the sub in the spare tire location.plenty of people have done it i'm sure you can find a write up.

Chris on 3ZC sells them but are kinda expensive... Its a lot cheaper to build your own rather than have him make-wrap-ship to you... His AMP covers are BOSS though!

i have seen that thread. the amp covers are a bit too much for me though (as in too much going on) i do have my MTX amps there already.. flushed in with a simple cover to hide them.

if/when i upgrade those i want to find a Foose/Arc audio amp for its clean look.

YES! i dont carry a spare already... does anyone make a spare well sub box (false floor right?) other than that old pioneer amp/sub from years ago?

i do work with fiberglass a bit at work... hrmmm.. just need some plans.

its not that bad of a price for one of chris's enclosures when you think about it.i charge 20 bucks for every 15mins labor when i do custom work plus materials.but if you're wanting the spare tire enclosure you'll have to fiberglass it.but thats not too difficult.

if i do.. i was thinking fiberglass the bottom, then wall the sides a square out of wood. correct?
wood again for the top? any special wood to use. just a 10" nothing 1000w crazy. maybe 300 if that.
