Anyone interested in Group Buy for Spare Tire Sub-Box?

Ricochet48 · 02-27-2010, 12:32 PM

Box looks good so far. As others mentioned, I'd hope that the lip for the sub will be recessed a bit to make up for excursion. Also what's the approximate cubic feet of airspace. I would want to put something like an eD 13Av2 in there (similar to about a JL 6v2). Finally, how about an option for recessed amps on each side?

Whats with the grooved lines other than design? This will be covered by the carpet anyhow. But it does look good can't wait for finished product and pricing.

I'm in, but I would love an idea on a price.

+3. Price would be nice.

This is looking like something I could purchase, but there are options out there created by some DIYers.

I think cutting the carpet revealing the sub and a also a recessed option for amp-s is a great idea, also do you think 1.25 cubic feet airspace is attainable with around a 7.75/8" mounting depth. Maybe try my JL12W6v2 in there with the HD900/5 amp on the side flush mounted....hmmmmm

mo, money, mo money.

tbonesteak · 02-28-2010, 12:03 PM

from looking at their other products on their website, I think this is going to cost a pretty penny. plus you will have to buy shallow mounts = even more $$$

Wicked CAS · 02-28-2010, 12:31 PM

The box is .8 Cu ft, about 3.5" mounting depth. Yes you will need a shallow sub... We listened to all the requests made by 370Z owners... General request was a hidden enclosure that uses the spare tire well. We have enough room in there so if you have a grille on the sub there will be plenty of room for excursion.

If someone wanted to install a sub like the 12w6 it would have to be inverted.

If you wanted to make an amp rack on the sides there are plenty of room, This can easily turn into a custom trunk, but that woulkd take away from the hidden, stealth design of this enclosure.. But I won;t stop anyone from doing it.

If one was to pit the amps on side I would k keep them seperate so that the box would still be removable for easy access to the spare.

I don't want to talk about price, I am working on becoming a forum sponsor, I will be happy to talk about it after.

Potential of this enclosure is big, you can go totaly stealth and no one will know you have a sub... BTW there is plenty of room under the strut bar hallow space where the foam piece is for amplifiers, special a small amplifier design like the JL New XD series or ARC Audio.

Or you can go totaly custom and invert the sub with some counter sunk amps on each side...

roplusbee · 02-28-2010, 06:01 PM

Cool. Watching and waiting.......................

cvega · 03-05-2010, 04:15 PM

Bumpin this up this is actually my car being worked on and I kno its going to come out amazing...

cdawg410 · 03-05-2010, 06:42 PM

Really curious as to why this is taking so long and there is such secrecy as to what the final price range is going to be. To be fair patience is not one of my strong points. Just tell me already!

cvega · 03-05-2010, 08:27 PM

well Wicked C.A.S might have been brewing up that their was gonna be a box made but i only gave him my car last week so basically they've only been working on my car for 9-10 days...not to mention other projects comin outta that shop

Wicked CAS · 03-06-2010, 11:30 AM

ALMOST THERE, Got the First one out of the mold. Getting thois one finished today. Will have finished pictures later this evening.

Wicked CAS · 03-06-2010, 10:25 PM

And finaly done, We set up the Donor car with JL AUDIO XD600/1 Amplifier. This amplifier is smaller then the HD sries amps, We were comfortably able to install it under the pass seat. We also wanted to try out the 13tw5 Slim sub, Biy are we glad we did..... AMAZING BASS responce, even though we only added the sub and amo to the factory stereo we were pretty amazed with the amount of bass and how low this sub was able to play, yet it was very fast and hard hitting...

Here is spme pictures, we chose to show the subwoofer, and will be sending out a carpet sample to get peferated and have it be available for those looking to finish the trunk with a detailed and finished look.

For those who want to conseal the whiole sub you can by using the black styrofoam piece that comes in the trunk and lay on top of the box and lay your carpet over it. I personaly like seeing the sub, but you certainly can cover it.

One other option is to place the carpet on top of the e\mpty enclosure, Mark the whole, cut center and screw the sub in with the carpet in between the suband box, which will give it a nice finished look as well. if you were to take the box out carpet will be attached top the box and sub.

We carpeted the bottom of the enclosure for a snug fit in to the spare. What you will need to do is unblot the spare tire nut, Position the magic box in place, carefully lift the sub box back out and tighten up the nut without moving the spare. Then simply just drop the box back in.

Pictures shown with a 13tw5, we still have the 10" slim sub option available...

cvega · 03-07-2010, 02:14 AM

Review for everyone. I love it. Finally got some real bass in the car. I am one of these bassheads which is why I chose the 13". Due to money situations I was unable to get the Kenwood headunit that I want at the moment which is why its hooked up to my stock unit. Still sounds amazing so its kinda crazy to think that its only gonna sound better than this. Of course i wanna get all my interior speakers done as well but in due time haha.

Just waiting on my perforated carpet and once I get the the money the Z will be back at Wicked C.A.S to get the headunit put in.

Thanx again Nazar and your team for doing a great job.

tjlazer · 03-07-2010, 02:18 AM

Anyway you can install the sub and have it sit flush so you can cover it with the mats?
