im looking to get someone to make a custom sub-box for 10" solo baric, couple shops i spoke to just wanted to box it in a generic 10" box with the round opening modified to square

i rather a custom box so it fits in the boot better

any recommendations? im in western sydney

The solobaric subs use much less space then generic boxes give you , the generic box will be too big and sound crap and could kill the woofer

two subs in a shared space ( tyre well ) will actually make it worse the tyre well is too big and shared space halves the volume required for 2 subs

I would do custom to save space and sound better

Which car model is it , most have enough room for a 12 in behind the side panel on passenger side ? So it wouldnt take any extra space at all !!!

The solobaric sounds better with a tiny bit of polyfill on the back wall of the box , smoothes out the sound and tighter sounding

im trying to minimise the amount of boot space the box will occupy so no dual subs.. as troy mentioned they do quite well in small boxes (1 cu.ft max as per kicker specs)

car: r32 so no space in the back, want to tuck it between the shock towers in the boot

You can do a half tube under the rear deck for a solobaric 10 easy

Tight bass , light weight enclosure and leaves. Room for amp to mount on it too

To look nice?

Mate those DD subs use a lot bigger box and with that much power

A good /proper box is a must of kiss them good bye I've seen more then a few torched

From a noobie , are those sealed or ? The split in the floor mount almost looks like you have them

Running free air ? Mind you its viewed on iphone lol

They would fit with ease on each side panel and minimal loss of space and not super heavy like that brick , which looks to big for the specs on solobaric 12's

the side panels are prime spots for custom boxes for up to 12" subs , 15" fit inverted but use a fair bit of space

Slim mount subs fit in a bunch of spots including inside the gtt rear cabin walls but custom box only

2 12" will fit under the rear deck if your clever and specs are right , ported thru factory speaker holes or in the sedan the ski tunnel pass thru

    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
