you were bored at work? i wish i could have that kind of job.

those are cool. definately wouldn't mount a crossover like that.

That stuff is interesting, I have a 4dr teg and Ive been racking my brain to figure out what setup for either one or two subs. I need trunk space since Ive got a 25lb blue bottle back there, so the typical big clunky box doesnt work for me and I really dont want extra weight. I was wondering if I could replace the 6x9s in the back with 10" subs that was built for an infinite enclosure/baffle. I thought I then might be able relocate the 6x9s into the rear doors. I was reading about the JL IB4 subs and thats kinda what I was thinking about for the sub setup. Does anyone make a prefabricated "stealthbox" kinda thing - I cant find anything for Acura, but is our 4dr's trunks close enough to the civic or accord trunks? The other thought was maybe a shallow enclosure that will fit in between the wheel wells without sticking out into the trunk if you can picture what Im talking about - maybe I could use something like a truck enclosure? Sorry to rattle on, but Ive been trying to figure something out without having to make something myself (Im a frikin 'tard when it comes to that kinda thing).
Thanks

The first one is close to what i did.

what i did in mine is use a single 12 and rasie the trunk floor 4 inches via a few 2x4's and then used mdf for the trunk floor ans unk the sub in so that it fit and can be removed if i ever need the spare.

 

[pchjvvball32]

ps you could also sink ur 25 blue bottel in too and give it a bad ass look

 

[adam5743]

thanks, thats a great idea! I'll look into that - it doesnt sound that hard or expensive either...

 

[MorningZ]

geez.. just read the article...

"sorry i forgot to take pics for the next few steps"

some how-to... lol

 

[herb]

LOL i was thinking the same thing.

 

[cpgoose]

hey pchjvvball32,
got any pics of your trunk install?
that sounds awesome!

JL Audio makes a stealth sub box for the integra... It houses 3 10" subs.

If you have/want 10"s it would be a perfect system. I think I also saw somewhere you can get this for less than $250!!! Damn good considering that I have been quoted as much as $1200 for a custom fiberglass job for 1 12"! Anyway... thought this might help some people trying to conserve space. You can go to JL Audio's Web Site for more info.

hey teggsracer, I can't find that JL spare tire box on JL's site anymore. Maybe they discontinued it. They don't even have Acura in the drop down list for makes.
