motoman22 | Sealed or ported depends entirely on the exact speaker's needs. We don't know the exact speaker so we can't answer this one. Of course, we're just going to find the specs on it and see if it recommends a ported or sealed enclosure so you can do the same thing. I've done a couple of camaros in my day and they are a challenge. There are a lot of angles to build in and if it doesn't fit perfect it looks like crap. Because of this, several pre-fab boxes are available for your camaro and they fit 12" subs. I would suggest getting one of these boxes and buying subs that are designed for that much airspace. To build it yourself, just grab a tape measure and start figuring out what will fit...then see if you have enough volume to satisfy the driver's needs. If not, extend the bottom or if you're within about 0.1'^3 you can just add a pound of polyfill and trick the speaker into seeing a bigger cabinet. There just isn't a single correct answer to your question. |

motoman22 | p.s. the coolest camaro I did was 4-8" subs and it freaking pounded. It was actually two separate bandpass enclosures with entirely too much power but it was quite impressive. That was an '84 with the same body as yours. If you place the speakers just right, they appear as a floating 'hologram' in the rear view mirror. It's just their reflection on the inside back glass but it's in the middle of your rear view and cooler than ice. I probably have pictures of it somewhere..though that was over 10 years ago. |

87iroc | hey if u find them pictures i'd like to see them willy_wanka04@hotmail.com |

INCUBUS | There is lots of prefabracated boxes made for camaro's....i suggest that you try to find one on the net that has the dimentions on the site...i think q-logic makes some.. |
|
87IROC | i want a custom box to fit right to the botom or the hole in the back |
|
INCUBUS | my bad all of the custom boxes are for 93 and up |
|
megabass | Not necessarily. First you have to figure out what space you want it to fill or what it should look like. Next get out the cardboard and make up some mock-ups. The width is the easy part. It's the profile most times that's complicated. Since I have a 95 camaro, getting designs for those is a snap. But I did get a 92Z in a few months ago. I had a working 87-92 design is about 4-5 hours of cardboard work and another 2-3 hours working with the prototype. But in reality, it could take several days. I use autocad software and that helps me know the angles to cut to. My 87-92 box turned out like this http://www.subthump.com/images/3rdgen/3rd1.jpg |

rosebudd | To all, All of the woofers you guys are speaking about have spec sheets available from the vendor or the website. Your box design should be determined by the type of sound you want, ported boxes are very efficent and will have more spl and better bass extension, the only draw back is it requires a larger enclosure. Sealed boxes need more power; however, offer improved sound quality and smaller enclosure size over ported assuming the woofer in the ported box uses a spider and motor assymbley that moves very easy (it isn't stiff), thus leading to poor woofer control. Consult your local audio dealer if you have more questions. L8R |

New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 24 Registered: 12-2003 | best bet is fiberglass. you could baffle across that drop section as well, but it's hard to seal it that way, and the gas tank is right under the angled forward portion of the drop section, so any screws you sink there will puncture the fuel tank. not good. |
