Fiberglass Enclosure, Dayton 8"

So i got an assignment to do a how to paper, with lots of pics needed. So i figured why not build a fiberglass box for my 8inch sub i have laying around.

so here we go

you going to make side inserts?

theres gonna be a port on one side,

Anymore on this build

just sanding, haha

fiberglass snow huh, gotta love it!

To The guy building tha box is this tha guy with tha blue dodge?

no the dude with the accord. he built the box for the ram

My bad I'm slow hard to put a face with these names lol . I was just wondering if the guy with the blue truck was liking the bats he got.

he liked it, but i was just letting him use it for the comp, im gonna see how both of them do in my car once i get a system back in it. I wish we had had more than a 1200 watt amp on the subs, we coulda made the scores alot closer.

All man any one in 0-250 an 251-500 shouldn't even sweat that Shit those guys got beat just the fact of power a lot of those cars an trucks did better numbers than I thought thay would have .yall will come back better an better trust me iv ben there

Here's my first glass work looks like crap lol




Was for single cab ram

Looks good to me

I wonder what class that box would fit in in arspl, haha

and as for that kids truck, ive been wanting to put my 2 1500s on the subs sometime to get some really good numbers out of it.

My thoughts as well, my bro in law that ran in 251-500 with a better set of 12's and one of my AQ 3500's would have owned in that class. But you guys still did great!!!

get 2 of the aq 1200ds and strap the, haha, then you get to play with lower ohm loads.
from the scores the truck put up, i can see a 54 being possible out of it on my amps. 55 if we get lucky.

that truck is giving me ideas to be competitive in usaci stock classes. Ill have to go look up what the top scores are for them.

so i just looked up the scores and was seeing 153.5 and a 156.2, and thought that doesnt seem too hard if im already in the 50s by just dropping in a box.

but then i scrolled down and saw outlaw scores.
157.6 and a 160.8 for the lower classes... then i scroll back up to see the other scores are on the dash.

looks like ill have to get to a 160.8+ for my cars usaci class too.

That's un man to the way yall do it u can gain 1 to 1.5 db by haveing someone sit on the mike. An usaci has power limits its hard to gain 2 or 3 db with out adding power if u don't know what to do

2 sundown 4500s fit it 601 to 1800, haha

ill have to try what yall did in with the guy covering the mic some to see what it does. Is that allowed in usaci?

My truck does same number with me in or out, doesn't matter.

No u can't do that in usaci. If your truck hits same number with or without someone sitting on the Mic ether not on Mic right or something up with that truck iv never herd that sins iv Ben competing or seen it

Man'd or un man'd it does the same number, me and james metered it about 4 dozen times or more and on different power, I can't explain it either. The only thing we can come up with at this moment is because it is louder with the windows down, both of them so it doesn't matter if someone is in there or not, one theory we have is my door flex on the mic side is causing this. Just have to test for that.

That sucks for arspl for usaci it realy wouldn't matter. Haf to keep working on it I guess how is the box set up an what kind of truck?

It was the 4 15s walled in the sierra that did the 160

Also i think Jeff has also changed the rules to say where the mic has to be(should have been in effect at final). Setting on the mic or hugging should not be possible with that being in effect.
