Sub question

CrimsonTide · 09-28-2018, 03:29 PM

Thanks for the response everyone.. I think I'm down to (2)-10" subs or (1) - 12" sub... I called a shop today and they tried to sell me the JL Audio box built for the 370z. The damn box and subs are $1,000 though~! I think I'll go with a Zenclosure.

Appreciate everyone's comments~! I'm ready to rock....

$1k?! Is it fiberglas?
I wonder if there would be much demand for making fiberglass enclosures... Tailored to each specific sub

Yes dts ~ it's fiberglass.. This is the box:

Is fiberglass that much better than MDF? I don't know if my ears could tell the difference...

Fiberglass is of course much lighter and can be molded to shape, which is important for wheel well encloses. On the flip side, the second most quality determining factor for sub enclosures after volume/dimensions is the rigidity of the material... Flex=bad. MDF wins there. Fiberglass for a single sub setup in a Z will be more than enough
