Jeep Wrangler build (4th order, Octaport, under window line)

[Miles 128]

Wow... It has been years since I've been on here. But I can say, this website taught me a lot when I got into the industry almost a decade ago. Now I'm in college and build/design boxes as a side job to make some money (pretty good money some months).

 

Bought a TJ a little over a year ago, and finally decided it was time to do a semi-permanent system (something I could easily remove if I needed to). Didn't want to spend a whole lot of money, because well, this vehicle has plastic windows. Good luck was in my favor because over all the years of helping people out, they helped me out. I got the sub for free and the amp for $50.

 

So anyway, onto the build. I wanted a box that would be durable to the weather, yet you wouldn't necessarily know it was a sub box to the untrained eye, so I went with a 4th order alignment.

 

Box:

1.1 sealed

3.7 ported

8.25" Octaport

51.91hz

 

Sub: Funkin Audio SX10 D4

Amp: Crunch P1-3050.1 (at 2 ohms)

 

Box is all MDF, except for the port, which is birch... And you'll see why I picked birch for the port. I like being different, and this box will definitely make a statement when people see it..

 

 

 

 

Box is coated in Duplicolor bedliner, and the port has 5 coats of clear gloss polyurethane on it. Will be wiring everything up in the next week or so. Hoping to break a 140, in a softtop jeep with a single 10 on 6-700 rms.

Good luck. When I had my TJ with a hard top the best I could do was 143 with an 18" and big ported box.

sweet-  love TJ's.  Like the bedlined box and the stained pot too- looks very nice.

[Miles 128]

Thanks guys! Just wanted to do something simple of the jeep, but mainly show people you can run "crappy" subs and still sound good and be loud. (There are a lot of people around Oklahoma who are skeptics about thr benefits of a good box).

[Miles 128]

Need to clean out the garage tonight so i can install the box. Wont be putting the amp in until i get the wire in. This will be fun tomorrow...

Great craftsmanship

Had a little bit of fun this morning. Between yesterday afternoon and
this morning I've helped 8 people who were stuck on hills and in
ditches. Was even able to air up a guys tire to his disbelief (I have
Onboard Air in the Jeep so I can air up tires/run air tools/blow my
train horn).

I hope you calibrated your ear-o-meter before testing. They are known for being very inaccurate.

Idk... Ive only been in this hobby for 10 years and have a pretty good grasp on relative spl. But this is the internet... Cant trust anything.

Also, doesnt really matter what it does on the meter. Its loud, itll impress "non-audio" people, and thatll just.boost sales for me on box orders.

Little teaser....

Sealed up LEGAL score!!!
