Default Fiberglass Sub Enclosure

hey guys, havent been on here in a while but i just bought some subs and im building a fiberglass enclosure for em on monday, so i was wondering if anyone has done this or has any ideas of how i should do it. i have 2 12's, but im planning on buying a third sometime in the next month (when i get more money) so im going to build the enclosure to hold 3 and not cut the third out until later

im thinking of doing something where the two subs on the sides are raised and pointing slightly inward and toward the front and the one in the middle raised less than the others and pointing foward toward the front of the car so something that will look like this \ _ / if you can get the idea lol

instead of investing on a third sub i recomend you invest in a good amp it will be really hard if not impsibble to build a good box for 3 12s

What subs do you have and how much cubic do they require?What type of music do you frequently listen too (sorry for all the questions, but i do have termpro software and could give you a little direction).

I would say find a way to hit the hatch you will be amazed at what a difference it makes. I have done three 12s in the very back with mdf. Not easy fiberglass may be a easier to conform to what box you want. But i had to do a load of cutting and making to get the airspace needed. Maybe stick to 2 really nice subs and a very good amp you wont be disappointed in it if you spend you money right Well good luck

yea i recommend type rs just because i really love them in camaros, you can probably make a ported box for 2 12s type r, my subs are bigger then type rs and im building a ported box for them, good luck!

yea a fiberglass box is a good idea im getting my done but when i get a z28 just make sure you make them thick for best results and don t cheap out this is what i fkn love about camaros with sealed boxes hitting off the glass is they hit way harder then suvs with ported boxes but when you get a ported box its amazing like you can even get 500rms going to those subs and you will be beating people with t1500s
