[Project] Jump seat box for orion comp 12

Ralphie · 09-20-2006, 03:00 PM

Very very nice man, I have one big focking box for my 10" Type R and was thinking about reclaiming some space! What do you think your total investment in the project was?

juddspaintballs · 09-20-2006, 05:55 PM

looks pretty nice. great work, I wish I was that talented.

Well I had all the shit to do it here, cept the amp and glass matt. So

1/2 a sheet of 5/8 in MDF 20 bucks
gallon of resin with hardner 25bucks
8sq ft of glass matt 5 bucks
1 yard of spendex from jo ann 5 bucks
staples 5 bucks

this project can easily be done for under 100 dollars if you already have the sub, amp, and wiring kit.

You really dont have to be talented to do this, just understand basic wood working, and basic fiberglassing, and basic speaker box building. Really it isnt that hard. This is only my 2nd box ever made.

juddspaintballs · 09-21-2006, 12:17 AM

I've never glassed...if I didn't wanna be so technical in my box volume for porting it I'd glass for sure.

maybe this summer I'll build a custom enclosure if I get new sub(s)

SHROPIE · 09-21-2006, 12:54 AM

this os logans second glass project but he has a certain talent for reading up on things and being a perfectionist. this box ive seen in person and looks amazing.. it is soooo solid i swear we could drop it off the roof without a single piece of wood cracking.. this is a VERY good box.. very solid. VERY good craftsmenship. i am very lucky to have him helping on my bag project. he also had a hand in helping with my center cousil which can be seen in my sig.

btw logan this is for you

thats logan and his awseome wife kim.. they are two of the best people you will ever meet.. in the short time ive known them theyve become like family... love you guys thanks for the help !!!!

ps CHEVY OWNS!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that comment, and thanks for posting the measurements back up for me. Lets see some pics.

yourname · 01-21-2007, 01:27 AM

well i had a thread but server ate it. its not done yet but here it is

PhatBoy · 01-21-2007, 01:30 AM

looks like its gonna turn out nice...you painting or covering?

yourname · 01-21-2007, 02:18 PM

im gonna definetly cover it. 1st time glassin and i dont wanna spend hours and hours getting it smooth. any tips when covering it?

oh btw, did you use 8 layers or glass? im at 7 right now and wondererd if i should put another one on or just put a couple layers of resin. its redicuolsy strong now, i can stand on with like barley any flex.

PhatBoy · 01-21-2007, 09:22 PM

Yeah I used 8 layers...are you using glass matt for each layer...

I laid resin on the spandex then laid down mat, resin, mat, resin, mat, etc... 8 times.

you gonna mount your sub inverted or normal. Im thinking I may wanna change mine to normal to give me even more room, and hide the wires.

yourname · 01-21-2007, 10:18 PM

yeah i meant to say 8 layers OF glass. i used cloth, resin, cloth resin etc..

im more than likley goin to mount it normal because it looks alot better. thats why i made the box though, help cleanit up and give me some space back. ill hopefully have my sub by this weekend so i can test it.

PhatBoy · 01-21-2007, 10:34 PM

So the measurements worked out ok for you.

Would you post a pic of the bracing on the inside for me? Thanks.

yourname · 01-21-2007, 11:38 PM

yeah those measurements were awesome. ill get a pic of it in the truck to show how nice it fits.
well it might look a little skimpy on the bracing, but i could stand on it before i even glassed it. my friend said it wasnt strong, so i jumped on it to prove its def. strong enough.

ooopseyesharted · 01-22-2007, 06:32 PM

that is totally awesome man. i am having second thoughts about my box. i may just have a good at this. i have one alpine 10 inch type s. This should work well.

PhatBoy · 01-22-2007, 08:57 PM

Yeah a 10 would fit in there really nicely...you may not even need to bring the box out too far past the trim panel...

Looks ok to me ''Myname'' the only reason I braced mine so much was because I mounted the sub inverted so its hanging on the outside of the box instead of sitting on the inside...

V8S15Jimmy · 01-27-2007, 09:45 AM

Here's a couple I built last summer

mikenoma94 · 01-27-2007, 06:27 PM

wouldn't that make the side back windows rattle a whole bunch?

****ing awesome btw.

PhatBoy · 01-27-2007, 07:45 PM

Mine doesnt rattle anything at all...like nothing...period. Well except for all three mirrors, and my nose on occasion, but other than that, nothing.

I like the boxes you made V8jimmy, and i know yours are better than mine, but I did what I could.

xtucking22s · 01-27-2007, 11:43 PM
