I built a box out of plexi not to long ago. It's the same as building a regular box. Iirc a sheet of 3/4" plexi was around $980. You would need 2-3 sheets atleast.
EDIT;
and buddy this is nothing new. I have seen everything from plexi, to concrete, to 3" thick bulletproof glass boxes.

thats alot of money and work to make it look good.
Suggestion, use wood and cover it with the same material as your guts then put ya neons on that and have the plexiglass in the front (where the subs will be mounted).
So when you look at the box you will see the subs and the material behind it and neon.

8 ssd on 5k ported man that shit would be doing the fool in the bubble, and i could do it subs up port back no problems

dumb question coming up, what has more cone area 8 tens or 4 12s generally speaking
teezy
Nov 1 2009, 10:52 PM
I think the 10s get it,
Using the formula Pi®2
1 12"= 113.4 so 4 would be 452.16
1 10"= 78.5 so 8 would be 628
I think, my math is real rusty.

damn thats a nice size difference, probably could do 4 per chamber, but the only draw back is running the ssd would be around 1300 bucks and running 12s would be around 990, so it would ultimately draw down to how much money i would have, but 8 tens facing up ported back would look nice in the trunk, and all that extra air movement would be nice to have

Depends on what you trying to do, but center console would be good for it

i'mma look for some different ones i think, cause each ten would be getting around only 625, um.... i just did the calculations it would be 1392 with the copper coil option, i wonder how well they would play low 25-32hz, i have seen reviews where people say the do the fool from 33hz-55hz and tend to fall off after that

Well 5k to 8 subs is lil over 600 rms. You can also look into those Fi SSD's or AQ SDC2.5's.

If you got dual 2 ohm, you can get (2) audiopipe 3500.1 (1 ohm stable, 0.5 stable but forget that)
If you got dual 1 ohm, you can get (2) audiopipe 3000.1 (2ohm stable)

you got the dual 1 ohm versions?
Uh, you should've got the dual 2 ohm versions.
But this will work. This is an example using dual 2 ohm subs, look at option 2, since you have dual 1 ohm subs, the will wire down like option #2 and give you a final 2 ohm load. With that said, (2) audiopipe 3000s fit the bill!
