Wagon audio

[invadersevlow]

Ok so I'v finally broken down and decided to upgrade my wagon audio after seeing the awful plastic/foam stock speakers [as I was installing dynamat everywhere!!, but thats another thread]. So anyway in my quest for speakers I managed to hit a couple good sales and picked up a Polk Momo 12" sub and 2 channel amp really cheap (not origionally on my list but damn they were cheap), so now I need a sub box for my wagon. What have other wagon owners done for subs?

how much of the cargo area are you willing to give up?

Well hopefully not the whole thing! I mean the entire reason I got the wagon was for cargo space . Anyway I'd settle for a few inches from flush with the wheel well. What you gots?

i got an infinity basslink. It's 200watts, so you won't win any contests, but it sounds pretty good and can be mounted in two different ways. it's small too, at least for that wattage. My cargo area looks like a fu(kin tornado hit it, so I can't really take a picture in good conscience. But here's a link to the sub.

That's not going to be the best price. I paid about $220 shipped.

Right now, I have a big azz box taking up the whole trunk space. To fix this sitch, I'm working on a fiberglass enclosure that will conform behind the back left wheel fender. I'm mounting a 12" Alpine Type R with an Alpine 700 watt RMS amp pushing it. It should sound nice.

Oooh!!! What are the chances of making two??

To be honest, I need to see how this one works out first. I'll start a new thread once I'm near completion. Hopefully thats only about a month out.

What are the specs on the Polk/Momos? It should say how much space it needs in certain enclosures. I've got a polk in a 1 cubic foot box completely sealed. Still kinda big, but the smallest I could find for a 12 incher.

Its the MM2124 and according to Polk a sealed enclosure should be .88 cu. ft. I did a mockup out of cardboard to the exact dimentions listed for that and it was far too big to be practical.

I've heard of people forgoing the spare tire and mounting a custom sub there, but that's a lot of work for the sub box and you'd better have AAA. How's about mounting it between the left and right rear passenger footwells behind the center console? I don't know of any other suggestions. Good luck. Let us know what you decide on doing.

This is what I did - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5795717421. Paid a bit much for it but its clean and its done. Now I just need to install the amp and hook it up.

Yeash.. I gotta cringe at that $280 price tag, ouch! For that $$ I might as well take it into a custom shop and have them make something. Granted that is a custom piece but hmmm.. to give up the spare tire... Mixed feelings there...

Take a another look at the pics. The only reason I paid that for it is because I don't have to give up the spare. The sub fits into the cavity of the spare's rim making it completely stealth with no loss of functionality or cargo space. It doesn't get much cleaner.

Nope I missed that entirely! Doesnt sound too bad now.

These boxes can fit a 10-12" sub. They fit in the floor with out even loosing any space or your spare tire. In the wagon they are totaly hidden & in the sedan thay raise the floor 3" & come with a new floor piece to make it real solid & lets it breath.
