The ammount of material left after cutting out all of the subs would be way to weak to be useful. You'd have to brace front to back between each sub and have a lot of brace.

this thread is called "WTF is a sonotube?", but u sell them , and have them in stock, did i miss something?

I agree with Dukk, build it, lemme know how it works out for ya!!

Of course I sell sonotube. That's my thing. That's what I do for a living. I also sell phonics for adults. :cheeky4:

Sooo is this thread just an advertising ploy then? :sly:

This is a fuhkd up thread.

ya.....i always see posts of this and that, but never any pics of any actual system?
come on dood lets see what ur rockin in ur car!!!!

I was being sarcastic. Before that, where did I say that I sold sonotube? He just assumed it so I went with it. Why would I ask about sonotube if I sold it?

I googled "sonotube sizes" and that's what came up. So if I don't say that I don't work for sonotube it means that I work for sonotube? How does that make sense?

That website is for a construction company in Missouri, I'm in Ontario.

Posts of this & that... so? I like discussing what I can do with my car. Look at the pics in my profile - 05 RE XXX 12 with a fried tinsel, Visonik V900XD/blown up, Eclipse SW8200. What I have now is nothing to brag about, I'm using the Eclipse in 1 cube sealed powered by a Kenwood 550W amp, cheapo dual deck, and stock speakers. I want to upgrade but every time I get a couple hundred saved I have more bills to pay. I want to skip upgrading for a long time, I want big power but that'll cost a lot, and I'll probably sell my drums to pay for some of it. The plan is a foreward firing and sealed off from the trunk ported box, 2 15's in 8.75 NET @ 35 Hz and as big an amp that'll stay alive with the biggest alt I can find. I can only fit 2 batteries in the trunk +1 under the hood, maybe I could fit more, but I'm not a mechanical maguyver. I'd feel a lot safer with a high-tech alarm cuz my neighbours stereo was stolen last week, it's like you can't drive through a small town bumping without some POS thief following you home.

The XXX, it was nearly stolen, but I switched it out for an APX the week before. Then my amp fried a couple days later, so I still have that too.


A horrible vid of the Eclipse.

how much for the blown v900xd.....betcha i could make it do a 145-146......i did a 145 with the vxd609.....
not sayin it aint a cool box design, but for real, how much to fix it, maybe 75 bux?
than u could rip on that eclipse big time in a proper box....
dont wast ur time design stuff for equipment u dont have.....
instead......take what u got and make it as loud as u can!!!!

I did try the Eclipse in the XXX box (2.2 NET @ 36 Hz) with the Visonik @ 2 ohm/750W, and it wasn't even that much of a difference between the XXX on 1500W, it was barely noticeable, the XXX sounding more neutral was the only difference. Eclipse doesn't recommend ported boxes for the SW8200 but I didn't see a problem with over-excursion. The amp went into protect twice while driving, each time listening to Kanye - can't tell me nothing. Stock battery & 90A alt, 1/0 wiring, big 3. The deck was $1000 Pioneer, man I miss that thing, it was a flip-out 7" touch-screen, so easy to use.

I bought the amp used for $250 from Rob-someone from Toronto from this forum awhile back, and I don't even think it could be fixed - it's jet black in one corner, it smoked bad in my car, it was like a scene from cheech & chong. If I can't fix it than I'll sell it for cheap.

Fixmyspeaker.com quoted me $165 to recone from a 12" to an 18". The 18" box I drew up is about 9 NET @ 32.8 Hz, which is the entire trunks W & H & L, and uses a 1:3 port. I found that the XXX 12" fell off hard after tune and it had no serious low end, maybe the box was just garbage (that was $300/1" MDF/port to the side). I tried 2 Eclipse SW8200's sealed in 2.5 NET and they did a much better job below 35 Hz, even when on 750W total. Rediculous 20-25 Hz = LMS motor + sealed box. I want better lows next time, that's for sure, I expected more from an XXX V3. It's been hard to even want to sell it because everytime I google it I find another person on a forum saying it's one of their favourite subs ever.

If I could find a person to recone the XXX and fix the Visonik than I'd use those. Who can fix a really messed up amp?

You can do that number in a rex with that amp??? What an embarrassment!!!Deezy did that number in 2006 in a 4 door neon!!!!!
