Roadster Custom Sub Enclosure
After trying to find a solution ($400.00 starting price) to add REAL base to the car, I have decided to build a custom enclosure for a 10" subwoofer that will fit under the convertible storage area and not interfere with the "spare tire kit". After about two and half hours of measuring and cutting templates last night, I am ready to start work today. It looks like the biggest challenge will be the polygon shape that the box will take. The only consistent length (currently) is the width at 35" along the top. There are two (I assume shock towers) protruding corners to the front of the car that I have to make cut-outs for...
I have elected to go with one 10" Rockford P1 subwoofer due to mounting depth requirements along with a Rockford P3001 Mono Amp. This should compliment the Alping CDA-9853 (IPOD Compatible) rather nicely. The setup for the trunk will have an enclosure and an "amp rack". The enclosure portion runs 6" deep, 21 3/4" wide and 10 3/8 inches deep (along the bottom with the top being 11 1/2") making the enclosure .638 cu ft. I am sure by this point you are as confused as I am (LOL).
As it is difficult to draft in PowerPoint, I will probably do the plans for this on Visio (to include the angles) if anyone else wants to make the enclosure for themselves.
The last step in this adventure will be to figure out what/where the rear speakers are in the SRT/Limited model so I can add two more speakers to the rear to increase the SPL by at least 3db (not counting the sub).
Wish me luck and stay tuned. :-)
