Custom fiberglass box in progress

bloombloom88 · May 23, 2013

I just dropped my truck off at cartoys, I'm having a fiberglass ported box made for my 2 10inch P3s. At first he told me there won't be enough airspace to make a ported box, but after showing him a few things we figured out a way to free up more space via seat spacers.

Box should be finished Saturday, ill post pics when I get the truck back

awesome

I can't wait until it's done, ill finally have free room in my back seat again. Not only that but ill be able to crank down the sub amp with this ported box, it's been giving the alternator a good workout since the install..

Sweet hope its exactly what you want. Custom is so much fun

Awesome! I'm extremely happy that I made custom fiberglass boxes too! I didn't port them, but it was a great project! I don't see any reason there wouldn't be room for a ported box!

I can't wait until it's finished! I'm dying to hear what it's going to sound like, obviously a hell of alot louder than the sealed pre fabed box I had, but hopefully alot better too

You'll be happy! Mine was simple, but very effective. The best one I've built and the best sounding as well. I'm no pro, but I love that I made the change and so will you!!

How hard was it making it yourself? What setup are you running?

The biggest thing I'm worried about is the guy getting the port tuned right so it sounds good.

He said there wouldn't be enought airspace for a ported box at first, then I told him about the fox box, how they use seat spacers and a rear firing port to help cancel out the noise from the air coming out of the port.

So he's doing a ported box, but I think this might be his first one for this model ram that will be ported.

Following this. Can you shoot me a pm on the cost if you don't mind. Tell them fools to give you a discount and you'll recommend them to all of us.

bloombloom88 · May 24, 2013

If anybody wants a referral to a guy who makes the best enclosures in the dfw, send me a pm and ill give you his name number and background about what he does.

I'm sure he will also cut anybody a deal if you tell him I referred you

I've made a few enclosures before so this one was easier for me, but I'd never made one to fit under the seats and I didn't use seat spacers.

My fiberglass box.

Very well done bud, you made it look easy.

ramflava · May 24, 2013

Thanks. I worked harder to control my patience. That was key. In all my previous projects, I was in such a hurry that something usually ended up messed up.

I'm excited to see how yours turns out!

bloombloom88 · May 24, 2013

I've been excited and nervous since I left the shop, I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight ftw... I can hardly sit here without getting up and walking around

Box update.

I went up there tonight to get one of the seat bolts so I could buy 4 new ones 1 inch longer since he will be using a 1 inch seat spacer.

The plan has now changed too, it will no longer be a ported box, it will be sealed.

Everybody up there said a ported box inside a cab that small would not sound near as good as a sealed box will. Will multiple guys agreeing with him I said sealed it is.

I was just really looking forward to being able to crank down the amp so it doesn't work my alternator soo hard when I jam out, but oh well as long as it sounds better.

Really, all I really care about is sound improvement over the pre fab box I was using, and being able to sit 3 people in the back again.

Did they give you a finish time/date

bloombloom88 · May 25, 2013

I literally just walked in the door lol. I'm about to go out and take a few pics now

bloombloom88 · May 25, 2013

They did not put the grills on the subs and somebody also forgot to put one of the seat bolts back in.. Ill be going back up there tomorrow
