Well I have a foxbox for my 10" L5 under the rear seat, but I have been thinking about building a "L-Box" as I called it, or a box that would sort of double for an arm rest for the back seat. I like the foxbox but it rattles a little bit and makes a bit of noise along with the base.. or maybe I was just looking for more bass and thought a big box might help out.
Anyway I was planning on leaving it sealed but by the time I got done drawing up the specs on it, I noticed that it was too much airspace for my L5 to be sealed.. it had to be ported.
Got it all put together.. it was a lot of work and still didnt line up perfectly (this is my first time trying to build a box) but I got it done.
Sad part is... I am not going to keep it. It doesn't sound that good to me. Some frequencies sound good, but others are missing the punch I am looking for. I am not willing to give up that much space (and not to mention how HEAVY this box is) for a sound that I am just sort of satisfied with.
So my next project is to do a little modding to my foxbox and then maybe end up building a custom fiberglass box over the summer.
Edit: BTW I was planning on having the box carpeted or maybe padded and upholstered - but not anymore now that I have changed my mind on it.
