Enclosure for 10" Kicker L7 in Scion tC
|
New member Username: GunnettPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-05 | I ordered a 10" L7, I need to find a box for it online, since I believe myself incapable of building a 100% airtight box. I want to find the smallest box possible and also perfect square so I can place it so that the sub fires up. I found a few on e-bay but they seem cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50568%26item%3D5763994983 %26 Angled http://www.cardomain.com/item/RTE79310 Angled? http://www.woofersetc.com/product.asp?0=640&1=643&3=2526 Im open to opinions, Im trying to save as much room as possible in my trunk. I went with KX600.1 amp and as of right now I have abandoned plans to replace the stock speakers. So I can spend some extra money on an enclosure. P.S. I think im going to run a Batcap 300 cap on this setup. Stock head unit until the Alpine 9855 arrives. Remember opinions are welcome. |

The fronts are approx 6.5 and they are components, the rears are approx 5.25 and they are are coxials. On the stock head unit change the SSP setting to xA rather than tC and from Neutral to Feel. I was looking for a Small Sealed box not a larger vented box. Trying to keep trunk space at a surplus thats one of the main reason for not getting aftermarket components. |

I was going either apline or clarion and getting a good one no cheapo. do I just take out the stock ones and wire in the inifnity's and they will sound better then the stocks or do I need to do something else. if you have a messenger Im Msully70 on aim. |

Silver Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 162 Registered: Mar-05 | I would take an Alpine over a Clarion. I would get an amp for the speakers. You'll be able to mount the midbass in the stock location, but you might have to do some cutting for the tweet. Do you have a budget to work with? |

CDT, Boston or Infinity are nicely priced and would be a great addition. The reference ones I mentioned are the low end of the comps for Infinity/ if you have more money, look into the Kappas. |
