New Fosgate 10" sub Custom enclosuer

[welfarewagon]

My friend has been in the stereo business for 20 years and has place in the top 50 installers in the past, so last week I asked him to add a little more bass in my truck without sacrificing space and here is the final product, 10" Rockford Fosgate sub and amp. The box is built by a way I have never heard of called stacking, apparently its the new thing to do for better quality.

Looks good. A few buddies of mine here have been stacking for a couple years now. It's an easy way to get a weird shaped box instead of doing a lot of fiberglass work.

looks good! love how you used the space! stacking can yield some really nice shapes. my old box had stacked ABS to give a nice smooth transition on the front of my enclosure. some JA stole it

So you had to sacrifice the jack?
Can you post pics zoomed out a bit? I have an XL and was looking at the JL stealth but having 2 10'' against the back window isn't really stealthy enough for me! lol

Looks great from what I see!

Sorry the pictures were taken by the installer so I dont have any further, as for the jack I relocated it under the hood on the driver side on the extra battery tray, I has able to drill a few holes and screwed the original jack holder there. The lug wrench I have laying on the back hatch area but I'm still trying to find a place to hide it.

Are you able to take a quick cell phone shot of how it looks like now? I was thinking a shot with the lift gate open and not zoomed in so I can see what the whole area looks like.
If and when you can... no biggie.

looks really good never really thought about stacking the boards like that. almost seems like a waist of wood though when you don't have use for the inside of the ring, especially for the size of that box. Looks like a good plan, I will have to look into doing this for my build.

If I remember the sheets of wood are around 20$ each and I bet you could get 4-5 rings out of it so it may be doable for a cheaper way to get a box like this if you have the time and tools to build something like this.

Ill get one tonight or first thing tomorrow for you.

Never Seen or heard of "stacking" guess I'm just out of the loop. Looks pretty damn good.

How do you like the sound? I'd drive to Kentucky to get this done. What shop was it?
Do you think a 12'' would fit using the same method?

VERY Nice... Ive been thinking of fiberglassing a box into that area.
The stacking part could be used for the curve and then just flat boards for the top, back and bottom to save on cost. Fiberglass the side near the car to get all of the contours. I used a similar method in my Dodge Ram:

Not sure if a 12 will work but it sounds good Here is his Facebook page, he does a lot with motorcycles, lighting etc.

You can scroll down and see more details about how he did my truck on his page.

$1200 that's a lot for your buddy to charge... My whole Cpillar wall in my truck only cost $1500... I guess it matters where you live. Here in Michigan that would cost you about $300 for Altimate automotive... It does look great though
