Development thread: Custom fiberglass sub box for RX8
#77
In the picture of the right side you can see my MTX 311D. With the 40Hz bass boost (actually 38Hz) set to +6dB and the Bose bass setting at -4 a 10W0-4 sounds great. That is only about 155 Watts and it sounded really sweet.
I have a 10W3-D4 going into the box soon. 310 Watts into it should sound really solid. Any more bass than a single 10W3 will overpower the stock Bose system (but the bass freaks would probably disagree). A dual 10 set-up should probably get a completely new system to go with it.
The box on the left didn't have a woofer in it at all. It is merely to show what a dual woofer set-up would look like and how much trunk space remains (roughly 75%). Two 10w6v2's with 800 total watts behind them would wake the neighbors and will definitely be more bass than I THINK I want.
Anyway I am very impressed.

We have completed both fiberglass enclosures for the RX8. We tested ONE 10W0 in Mr. Wiggles's car and it hammers!. We were only running a 155 watt amp to the single voice coil woofer too. The best part is that the bass was nice and low. We had the bass on the radio @ -4 and the sub-bass blended in with the factory system seemlessly. I cannot imagine two 10" subs with 500+ watts, the output would be insane. We have boxes ready to ship. Since this is the final pics and comments of the enclosure, the mods will close this thread. Please watch foro our Group Buy thread for questions and prices. Thank you for you comments and interest.
