Disconnect the positive terminal from the battery. The manufacturer stereo hookups are getting better and offer decent quality sounds, but if you really want the bass to bump, you need a system in the trunk that is far better than what comes with your car. Gather the appropriate tools and lighting if you need it. Fiberglass has also been around in the subwoofer world for a long time, and it's used to build everything from boats to Cars, and all the way down to the seats on the rides at Magic Mountain.

Plan #1 - Sealed Subwoofer Enclosure

WinISD recommends a 1.55 cubic foot box for our sealed enclosure. We'll achieve this by using 3/4 " MDF for the enclosure with external dimensions of 15.5" x 24 " x 10 ". This will be a simple rectangular box. Modeling the enclosure we see that it has a 87 dB sensitivity and a -3dB (half power) frequency of 42 Hz. This box should give very strong output when it is combined with the 12dB/octave boost provided by most automobiles.

SPL (1W/1m) - 87 dB
-3dB @ 42 Hz

Here is the layout of our subwoofer enclosure. We will need to cut the following pieces:

SIDE QUANTITY DIMENSION
TOP/BOTTOM 2 24" x 10"
FRONT/BACK 2 24" x 15.5"
SIDES 2 15.5" x 10"


JL Audio 10W1 - 1.55 cubic ft


Plan #2 - Vented Subwoofer Enclosure

WinISD recommends a 3.2 cubic foot box with a 24 Hz tuning frequency for our vented enclosure. Using a four inch port we'll need a vent that is fifteen inches long. We must take this volume into account. The volume of a cylinder is pi*r2*h, or (3.14)*(2)2*15 = 188 cubic inches. Divide this by 1,728 to get cubic feet and we add 0.11 cubic feet to the enclosure.

We'll achieve this by using 3/4 " MDF for the enclosure with external dimensions of 19.5" x 30" x 12.5". This will be a simple rectangular box. Modeling the enclosure we see that it has a 87 dB sensitivity and a -3dB (half power) frequency of 24 Hz (the tuning frequency). This box should give incredible amounts of output when it is combined with the 12dB/octave boost provided by most automobiles. This is to be expected with a box this large. In practice we would probably make the enclosure half this size, or similar to the size of the sealed enclosure.

Here is the layout of our subwoofer enclosure. We will need to cut the following pieces:

SIDE QUANTITY DIMENSION
TOP/BOTTOM 2 30.5" x 12.5"
FRONT/BACK 2 30.5" x 19.5"
SIDES 2 19.5" x 12.5"
