Custom enclosure for pio 307 D-4 - Team-BHP

overdose14 · 15th July 2007, 18:23

i recently bought Pioneer 307-D4. i am kind of satisfied with its performance but
problem is that i am already having two separate boxes for 6x9 Rockford's components and sub box is also quite big.

now jump seats can't be opened and when dad goes on a tour, i often get scolded for sub taking so much space.

i want enclosure which is small and doesn't sacrifices on performance ( i prefer sealed rather than ported ).
i tried but as you all know I'm too lazy.

any pics of the boot or the size which can be considered for the same.

Heres the pic of the boot
Pretty big...so had to give the thumbnail...

hmm I think of a differnet option here. Install the Ovals like this..

like the way he has installed the Subs in the rear door. and keep the sub enclousre in the boot this way you can save space and get more boot space also.

Ya sure sir. This is the purpose of the forum, to get suggestions and opinion of others

@overdose bhaiya, the whole box can be thrown out!!!

1. The space between the jump seats and the 2nd row (on the side walls above the wheel well) is enough to make small trapezoidal boxes to house the ovals

2. For the 12inch sub, you can make a box with roughly a triangular cross-section (imagine a 12inch isosceles triangle, with a 10inch base - sort of like a bar of Toblerone; sealed, not ported) the WHOLE width of the 2nd row seat back. Mount this flush with the bottom of the 2nd row seat, with the sub firing towards the tail-gate.
[LBM-bhai, could you please check if the volume is OK for his sub? I think the box that I have described will be app. 1.5cft]

That way you will occupy none of the usable boot area where the jump seats are, and conversely use up all the area that is normally not used. Aam ke aam, guthliyon ke daam.

ya overdose what are the external dimensions of the box and the enclosure is a sealed one.

Der Alte, do you have any specifications for your subwoofer? If yes, we might be able to tell you how much box volume is needed. But car speakers are generally free air speakers or work well with an infinite baffle.

and box dimensions are
21in in length and 13in in width and 11.5in in depth.

how much can i reduce it without sacrificing performance.
and can somebody post pics of safari (limited edition) which had a sub in the tailgate.

and now i regret why didn't i went in for rear 6" components.

If I take 21 x 13 x 11.5 and taking the MDF is of 3/4 inch then the internal volume is of 1.29 cuft. which is quite good for the 307 sub. I would recommend to keep it as it is. no change is required.

ScarySkulls · 16th July 2007, 18:50

Isnt it possible to stuff this box under the seats or the Jump seat?

OT:
Sidhu sahab, you got a sub and no demo for me? Bad....Very Bad.

But you can put the oval in the rear door for extra space required in the boot.
