r8rs4lf Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I've been looking to kind of upgrade my system for a while. My partner can get me some pre fabbed boxes made by Q Logic. Are these any good? He brought one to me today to check the fit and it fit really well under the seat only it was the wrong color. They hold 10" woofers and there is an optional amp rack available from Q Logic as well. Anyone have any experience with these??? TIA Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.0ss Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 The only thing I know about them is that they are made from rough grade particle board and if you get a sub in them that has any decent output,, they will not last long. If you really want to get them. line the inside of the box with resin to coat and make the wood stronger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r8rs4lf Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 So what makes them junk??? What is it about other boxes out there currently that makes them better than these??? Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBadSSS Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 A good quality box is made from 3/4 MDF, because it is strong enough to withstand a lot of power without busting open. Problem is, it gets heavy quick depending on box size, complexity and application, so my recommendation is a custom made enclosure made out of fiberglass with a MDF skeleton for proper support. That will save weight AND give you a kick ass box, plus then you can have the option of using 12's (which I think are better than 10's, 10's are for ricer mobiles!). Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigW Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I would make my own boxes. Oh I already did sorry. Like was said above they use crappy particle board and they cant take a pounding and stay together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creederado Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 www.probox makes a decent box. I got one used for my ext cab Sierra, which is the same for your SS. I also built one for my Stepside. Pro Boxes come coated with a material similiar to Rhino lining. I had The Box I built for my Reg cab Rhino lined and it came out nice. It might not look too good with the leather of the SS though. Just another option for you. It does take some tools to build a nice box. A table saw is nice for real strait cuts, screw gun, drill, jig saw, #9 2" wood screws, glue, silicon, and a nicer speaker terminal. Heres the probox in My Ext cab GMC; It fits right underneath the seat and doesn't really affect leg room. As far as weight maybe 75lbs depending on the speaker's magnets Her's the box I built for my Reg Cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my $0.02 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thats exactly whaty i plan on doing very soon , i am debating on a 13.5 or 12 w7 though, i work at a stereo shop and i build boxes . particle board(q-logic) boxes which are sealed ( not really) because particle board isnt air tight like mdf.
