Putting two 12inch subs in parcel shelves

saraahcorsa · Post by **saraahcorsa** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:49 pm

My sub was taking up too much space in my boot so I am planning on putting the two 12" subs in my parcel shelf.

It is not shaped very well for placing them so I'm not sure whether to make my own parcel shelf or make alterations to the original one?

Any suggestions?

you will probly have to make your own, the standard one would probly struggle to coupe with all the weight

You would be better puttin three 8" subs on your shelf. Enclose them in a box
Spread the weight

Ive already got the two 12" so would rather keep them.
Thought it would be a make your own solution, would the best thing to use be MDF and fibreglass?

you'l need an enclosure for them to run inside otherwise they'l sound crap, as they're designed to have the perfect amount of air enclosed behind them.

just sell it and get a smaller one and some 6x9s and uprate normal speakers. ive got a ten/twelve inch sub and its good enough for me annoying when got alot of shopping though haha

I've got two enclosed in a huge box at the moment. Got 6 by 9's on the sides in the back and have changed the front speakers. I like the speaker combination just want it to look nicer and get rid of the hefty box in the boot.

the only way to get rid of the box is to get rid of the subs, where ever you put your subs they WILL HAVE TO have an enclosure otherwise they will sound poo.

They were in a home made box though and I don't think my friend is a pro with making sub enclosures but they still sounded good. What is it that will change the quality?

I have two JBL1202d in an enclosure i rid myself and they have to have their
own air space to work at their peak. You can get free air subs though

The original box is so big that the enclosure that will be made with the boot closed and the parcel shelf down is not that much bigger than the box.

you could make your own boxes, and fit them to the sides of the boot if that helps?

if you wanted to put it in parcel shelf, then yes buy some mdf, then get crafty

I'll let you know how it goes, going to do an mdf parcel shelf with the two subs in and two 3" that I thought were broken raised on about a 20 degree angle facing the front between them.
