*Light Sub Boxes*

[timwarren]

I am soon going to be the proud owner of the Clio 172 Cup, and i was wondering what material people might have used to make a decent sounding sub box that really doesnt weight allot, i was thinking carbon fibre would be good but the constant vibrations would eventually shatter it too bit probally!! and not to mention the cost!!!

I suppose its going to have to be some sort of filler/glass fibre on top of thin MDF?? any ideas

How about a StealthBoxs by Auto Accoustics. Dont know about the weight but it must be lighter than an an MDF sub box. Also fits into space by rear wheel arch.

this is a quote from auto acoustics who emailed me ages ago about these boxes

"the weight is around 5-6kg, it is much lighter than a conventional MDF box but is far stronger as the walls are GRP moulded for strength."

so they are a nice easy option,

other than that carbon moulded boxes are very expensive, but u could use carbon sheating, something like two thin layers with sound deadening in between and fibre glass for selaing it?

how bout kevlar?
