I need to desighn a box for my 13w7 for the hatch of my 94 z28. The box needs to be about 2 cu ft and be made out of 3/4 inch mdf with 1 1/2 inches of mdf on the top where the sub mounts. If anyone has this sub in a f-bod i would appreciate if you showed/told me how you built a box for this or if anyone knows somewhere to have a custom box built for this sub i would appreciate it.

How much power you plan on pumping into this puppy? Sealed? Vented? Chances are that there is no need to double up on the thickness of the baffle. Only extreme SPL vehicles are in need of that. I don't see a 13W7 sealed with under 2kWRMS needing 1 1/2 of wood underneath it. Overkill and a ton of added weight. Check out my sig if you think I don't know what I'm talking about....

1 1/2 inches of mdf on the top

Your shittin me right? Do really need that thick of wood for the face of the box?

That much mdf does seem like over kill.

this is how much jl recommens for the mounting surface of the sub seaing as it is a 52 lb sub that will hit 150 db on any mic with only a jl 1000/1 in a sealed box

and i also tried sub thump they said they cant make it fit

I would double the mounting surface holds screws better and extra support for a 52lb sub(that tells you weight is not a concern)

That DB comment you made is complete BS. You wouldnt need more than 1". And to end this just glass $100 bills since you already blew a bunch of your money on that sub.

Have you thought about trying to fiberglass a sub in? I've never done it but I inow there are guys in here that could walk you through it.

fiberglassing a box, even a sealed on is a ton of work.....especially being the fact of the sub weight involved.....2 cu ft is a lot of space in the back of an f body but i know a couple guys had RE xxx 15's in there before in 3.0 cu ft enclosures so it can fit in there......you just need to take some pics and some measurements of every area and find the max height of the box.....if you can take the pics and measurments of the areas and give me a max box height then i could design you a box. streit7886@hotmail.com or imsolost7886 on aim if you have any questions.

Yeah Im the idiot making stupid decibel comments. 1 W7 would have trouble going over 140 on the new TL meter.
