i dont wanna be one of those prick "KIDS" with a nasty sub woofer set up that just rattles the car and everyone can hear it from 50 yards away. so i was hoping to throw together a custom sub set up in my trunk. im going to throw in two 12" Kenwoods (i know, kenwood is not top of the line but i have everything else Kenwood so i thought i would keep it classy, ya dig?) in an entire Plexiglass box. I was recently informed that it wouldnt sound too shabby with an ENTIRE Plexi set up, anyone have any ideas. and IF i do it myself, how much would i be looking at? Thanks all.

well as long as the enclosure is tightly sealed then it should be good and the plexi would look good if you put some neons in their. may seem a little ricer but i think it would look good. an kenwoods are a alright brand.

with two 12" ? you dont want people to hear your from a mile away?? why 12".. go 10's then.. 10 nice and classy. good bass, but not dirty. for the box get a double box but sepeate enclosure's.. dont worry about the plexi-glass.. unless ur showing ur trunk off to people .. theres really no point. im running two JL 10" W something... forget.. but like ... no rattles.. none what so ever.. only until i blast it.. but at that point my ears are bleeding so it wouldn't even matter.

I am actually thinking about throwing some blue neons in there to pulse with the bass. I have seen it in some really VIP cars and it doesnt look bad at all.


and i would LOVE the 12"s because i want to have the power to roll up to someone and out blast them, ya dig? haha. but i have definitely considered the 10"s and I think it would make more sense with the trunk space and I am actually hopping to show off the system if i head to some shows this summer.

truuueee.. iuno. it depends on what make u get your woofers from. my JL match my friends 12" JBL's easily... well i mean.. go for something not kenwood. you'll thank me later

well im hoping to get a FULL kenwood setup incase i trade it into a dealership or something, that way it doesnt look tacky. haha. and i KNOW the 12" Kens on Woofersetc.com are pretty creamy. and i have ken speakers and they are FAR better than i thought they would be. so idk how impressed i will be by the subs, ya know?

well, given the fact that Plexi is extremely expensive, very heavy, and difficult to work with, you may be better off keepin it simple.
I speak from experience.
Maybe make the front of the box plexi so you can see inside, some of the flash without all the cash

i have heard it is pretty pricey, what price range would i be looking at? and i was thinking about maybe the BACK plexi and sides. but idk. what sort of experience are you calling on Devan??

DevanTheDude

I've built many plexi boxes
<<< been installing professionally since 97'

It can still look clean with one side clear plexi and the inside mirrored plexi- heres one I did years ago haha
