Good sound but not too expensive, I dont need a 12' sub that rattles my windows and teeth. Something that will be able to hear through my aftermarket embroiled floor mat in the back, this is what had kept me from buying one in the past.

I'm looking for a sub enclosure for a 99' vert. However, I would like it to fit recessed in the ctr compartment with a protective grill as i wouldn't want the golf clubs damaging the woofer. Also, if needed have the original storage cover fit back in place when sub is not in use. Is this a practicle application for you?
Also, do you ship to Toronto,Canada?

Hi, the hangover box in 3/4" weighs around 35-40lbs. The 1/2" weighs around 7-10 lbs lighter. I don't have one of each to weigh right now, but give or take a couple pounds that is what they are.

Hi, I can make a sub enclosure according to your specs, but putting a grill on the box and having it recessed will make finding a sub a little difficult. This is because depth of the box will be shallow and airspace will be alot less than the typical stealth box or hangover box. Shipping to Canada can be arranged, but will be a little pricey.

I'm thinking of putting a 10W3v3 from JL Audio in it. Is this at all possible without sacrificing sound quality?
Note: This system will be for clean, crisp sound with some bottom end. No heavy car shaking bass.

OK, if it's not recessed but with a grill will I encounter any damage from cargo? Also, what's a little pricey?

It depends on the sub used. If the sub isn't too deep and doesn't have a thick surround, then they can be used under the compartment cover. If a sub will fit in a smaller stealth box, then I can make the box smaller to help with this situation. Bass travels at low frequencies, so the cover will not effect performance that much unless you have a sub who's surround is thick and either bumps the compartment cover or is too deep that it has to fit in a bigger stealth box which causes to compartment cover to be very close to the sub itself. For instance, a JL 10w3v3 sub will work in a smaller stealth enclosure and work fine under a cover, however a JL 10w6 will need a bigger stealth box and may require cutting of the carpet on the bottom to make it fit under a compartment cover. Usually when subs go this big, customers get a hangover box and put a grill over the sub then to protect them.

Box for zapco Compition CW-12
I'm working on the final specs for the box now but i'm checking on the possibility of a 3/4" MDF Hangover box for this sub. The magnet on it looks like it has a huge diameter around 8-9". The box should be between 1.25 ft^3 plus the sub displacement.

I have a few questions:
I assume you can sell a box unassembled? to save on shipping costs? I have a woodworking shop so assembly wouldn't be an issue for me at all.
I have a Z06 and would much rather put a couple 10s in each corner and build the box up above the side compartments to give it the necessary volume. This I could see doing myself and justifying my time just not sure which route I want to take at the moment.
Could you comment on how the center compartment looks after your sub box has been in it for some time? Does the box have sharp corners than wear into the carpet or are they all rounded? Where is the weight concentrated? Any need or benefit to placing towels between the box and carpet to protect the carpet??
Thanks,
Paul.

Would 2 jl 10w3's fit in either setup? I have been torn between what I want to do. I like the idea of having everything hidden under my embroidered carpet but you already said it wouldnt work with one 10w6 which is what I would want if I did a single 10 setup. My next option is the 2 10w3 subs so if that can't work with the stealth box then i will just have to figure out the best option, 1 10w6 or 2 10w3's in the hangover style...

From: "This is not a psychotic episode, but a cleansing moment of clarity."
I think after reading this thread I'm close to pulling the trigger on a stealth enclosure for my '02 vert. But I need some help with selecting the correct sub or subs to go with it.
Like Jason mentioned above, I want clean, tight, musical bass. Not big, sloppy, splashy "how low can you go" bass.
So, one speaker or two? Also, do you make boxes that would fit two 8" subs and still leave room to mount my JL amp in the center recess? Or is that going to compromise the sound I'm looking for? TIA.
