Oh, so you calling me out, huh? If it wasn't for me you'd still be dragging your feet. (Can I get a harassment discount, please?) :-) Looks nice. Check your pm.

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

Those are MINE! Hehe...I'll let you guys know how it fits and performs. From the pictures, looks really nice to me. I'm putting JL Audio 10W3v2s in there...nothing too extravagant, but at least it's "better" than a 10W0 and if the W0 sub sounds good in it already, I guess I'll be blown away with the W3v2s. Both will be powered by a 500/1.

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

Did you read the many posts about these boxes?? That would be a starting point. But I'll do the work for you.

As far as the coupe is concerned:
The 4080 box (which looks very nice from the pics posted) is only able to fit a 10" sub. J&D's box can be sized to 10, 11, and 12 inch subs...(maybe even 13s) at your request.

The 4080 box is for the driver's side (I don't think they've finished a passenger side box as yet). J&D have boxes for both sides.

Our boxes are a bit different. I think its a matter of personal taste as to which one you might want to go with. I thought it was very interesting watching someone else with essentially the same project and the direction they went. I won't speak down about 4080's box because I know it also took a lot of work to complete just as ours did. I think we both did good jobs and they are different enough to offer people a choice=)

Yeah those are yours. We actually sound tested each of them to make sure there was nothing going on unexpected and they sound great. Also, Drew is going on vacation this week so if you have any questions or need any help with installing your subs properly be sure to send me a PM.

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

Congratulations!

I hope you are getting great results with your new subwoofer set-up. I'd appreciate your honest opinion on how this dual custom stealthbox configuration with jl10w3v2 x 2 sounds in terms of SQ and SPL. I am planning on using a very similar set-up (jl10w3v2 vs. jl10w6v2 with jl amp).

Thanks

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

yea buddy i read every single post on both as a matter of fact. i obviously know the sizing differences as well as pricing and which side each box can go on. i thought it was obvious that i was asking about the quality of sound people experienced with each box, maybe i'll just have to make myself more clear next time...so anyway, has anyone heard both? and the quality of each?

by the way, i'm in no way disrespecting 4080 or drewer and justice because i know how hard fiberglassing is and to make a fine looking product like that must have taken a lot of experience, patient, and skills. each box is a great piece of work and worth every single penny. i was just curious if there were any sound differences between them..even though there will of course be biased answers, i'm looking for some unbiased ones.

thanks, we'll see ya

Sound quality is good. I cannot say oh my god the SQ was like a show car because I have some very low end speakers in mine (for the meantime anyhow). But even with the JL10w0's I am extremely happy. I had origionally wanted to throw some w6's or w7's in there but I will probably stick with the w0's.

In terms of sound pressure level again this is difficult. I am using an old school alphasonic amp that pushes 200 rms (or so). We have used 4-5 layers of a special type of fiberglass that has intertwined 2 layers of cloth with 1 layer of matt. This means the box is equivalent to ~12-15 layers of glass. You can jump up and down on it and there is no flex anywhere. The flexing takes a beating on the SPL so we wanted to be sure we had no loses there.

For anyone that wants to hear the box we will be at remami's (sound advice) show on the 17th of July.

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

G35Rush,
Yeah I realize you were not disrespecting anyone but I wanted to preface my comment with regards to a competitor because I acknowledge their hard work. As far as a comparison there has been none. Those 2 boxes (plus mine) are the first that we have shipped (today btw). That driverside box is actually the first driverside we have made. The next will be finished up by me today.

If you are in SoCal I urge you to go to remami's show on the 17th. We will let you hear for yourself. Take care,


-JustICE

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

JustICE: i was actually responding to cram, but still i respect both of your projects and the hardwork needed for both of them..just as you do.

and if i was in socal i would be there in a second, but i'm stuck with the jersey shore for my beach going days hehe - NOTHING BEATS THE JERSEY SHORE...except zuma beach, damn baywatch.. haha anyways, i'm still trying to gather some funds. i love both of the boxes, it's just that i don't have any JL's lying around in my garage so i would have to spend another couple hundred on that as well as the amp then of course the box and probably dynamatting the trunk...so the price obviously gets up there as you know.

but we'll see how things go in the near future, and i'll be in contact with you hopefully about a purchase, great work.

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

Let me know when you are going to get some speakers and I may be able to get you a better deal then you would find elsewhere. Also, we found some stuff that they sell at homedepot (of all places) that is the same thing as dynomat minus the cost and fancy sticker.

Re: JustICE and Drewer custom coupe boxes finished

That guy cram can be an @ss sometimes. just like anyone else. My bad, G35rush. I didn't realize you meant a listening comparison.
