A MASSIVE TRIBUTE TO 4080's SKILLS! WELL DONE 4080! TAKE A BOW!

About 4 and a half months ago I bought 4080's subwoofer enclosure. However, It was only recently (2 weeks ago) that I took delivery of my new 2005 G35 coupe. I promised 4080 (way back then) that I would send praise of his work after I had it installed. The result is awesome. Everyone, please check out my pictures. Cargo net is still functionable. 8" JL subwoofer is a perfect fit for the enclosure. Sound is very good. 1600 watt 5 chanel Amplifier rests beneath the other custom enclosure (built by Tweeter of Charlotte NC). JL speakers replaced stock speakers. Original head unit remains. XM sounds very, very good.

Thank you 4080, your enclosure is of very high quality.

Yes, 8" sub in 10" grill.

That's one of the wonderful attributes of the 4080 enclosure! It's extremely flexable. If you don't like like it you can go scr*w yourself.

This particular customer want to use his 8" subwoofer with one of my boxes. I know the JL 8" subwoofer VERY well. I knew if I could port the box the little 8" would ROCK. I did not want the port to be seen, I wanted it to look like my other boxes. The 10" grill allowed me to mount the 8" sub up high while the port under the sub could breath. The pics do not show it but the small port is right under the sub. The box is tuned to 27 hz. This is one of my favorite boxes. I am more impressed with small subs that have high output and excellent sound quality (read not W7s).

So that box is obviously not a universal box for any 8 or 10 inch sub- as there is no such thing. Every sub is different- and requires different specs. So what sub is that box made/tuned for? Per say- How would a Diamond Audio TDX 10" fair in that box?

Every 10" subwoofer require similar air space requirements in sealed enclosures. The Diamond TDX 10 requires between .5-1.4 cuft. My box has an internal volume of .85 cuft. The JL 10W0, 10W6V2, and 10W3 all work between .625-.8 cuft. My Rockford P3 DVC works within .7-.9 cuft. These small variances in air space would "maybe" only noticed in a home environment. You will NOT notice a .2 cuft. variance of air space with the sub/box in the trunk of your car (not to mention traveling down the highway). Only very large 10" subs will not work like the W7. The only way that 8" will work is in a ported enclosure. The little 8 would only need .3-.5 in a sealed enclosure. So it is for the most part, universal.

I was told it wouldnt work with the net. Would mind showing a pic with it. I know the net is not that important but I use it a lot so having this box, AND the net working would be great. I haven't purchased one yet.

hey 4080 those are really nice enclosures. I remember reading somewhere that you had an enclosure that fitted 2 8 inch subs...or somethin like that...so is this correct? I wouldnt want 2 8w7's...I want 2 koda 8's or 2 id8's or 2 re8's...something along that line...let me know what you think about the pair of 8's....SQ is definately more important to me...I have a 13 kv2 in a sealed box and had it crossed at 40 hz on my 500/1 and didnt like the lows much because it over powers my speakers too much and found out that I like it much more crossed at 65 or 70 hz or somethin...so you have any suggestions? thanks man...
