Hi all, I'm going to be building a fiberglass enclosure very similar to the infamous 4080 one. I'm putting a JL 10w3v3 in it with a jl jx500/1d amp for power. I also plan on making a custom faceplate for it and possibly backlighting the sub with a 5050 led strip. If necessary for extra volume, I'll be building the box slightly into the trunk floor.

Now for ordering the fiberglass and resin it's much cheaper for me to order in bulk so I'm curious what interest there is out there for an enclosure like this. If there's enough interest I may build a number of them for sale. Let me know what you guys think.

 

 

Sub'd for progress. Another member a few years ago made his 4080 replicas for the sedans and they weren't very popular here. Not sure why, I have a 4080 and it's the bomb dot com. Love that little bitch, it really throws out some great bass with the right sub.

 

I'd be down if you could get a single 12" in there, with about 1 cu. foot of internal volume, also depends on how much you're wanting to sell them for, too.

 

Does anyone know how much 4080 sold his for? I'm sure I could make it 1cu ft but not without either taking more trunk space or building down through the floor a bit. What 12 were you thinking of using just so I could check dimensions?

Hey Blue, what sub are you using?

 

I'm learning how to use Autodesk 3ds Max so I decided to play around with a design for the amp's enclosure which will go in my passenger side trunk corner. This enclosure won't be glassed; no point really. The colors (which i haven't really chosen yet) will be vinyl and ill probably carpet the rest. probably Be a LED strip hidden behind the faceplate as well.






ignore the junk in my trunk

 

I'd be interested in a 10" variety. Sub'd to see what you come up with.

 

IIRC the 4080's were in the mid to upper $300 range new. I bought mine (sedan version) used for $175 back in the day. Was running an old school MB QT 12", don't remember what model. Sounded great until it wore out. Replaced it with a generic Kicker because I was selling the car. If I have kept the car I would have gone to a JL sub since I'm running a Slash V2 300-4 for the front components and a Slash V2 500-1 for the sub.

 

Subscribed... Great idea. It took me a long time to find mine and one of them isn't a 4080. I was just happy to find one for each side of my trunk. I'm sure they would sell on here if the price was right. Where are you located? Shipping might be expensive if you try and sell them. Best of luck!

 

I haven't really decided which I wanted to run, I've been out of the car audio game for some time so I am going through everything that is available and seeing what strikes my fancy. 1.0 cu ft is a good starting point for a sealed 12", I can always add material to reduce the space if needed. However, the deepest I would run would be an Alpine Type X 12, if I could ever find one again. Those are right around 8.75" mounting depth though so that might only work mounting it inverted.

 

I live in Canada so it would be great for my fellow Canadian G owners however not so great for the US owners...
