Dib's Stealth Box designs

Hi all,

I have been searching for a while now, but couldn't really find anything in terms of a design and dims for a stealthbox, so I decided to create one. This site has helped me tons over the past couple of months, so here is my contribution...

I had a bit of time on my hands yesterday, so I measured the rear compartment and came up with these 2 designs.

Both designs were made with the average guy (or gal - yes, i just used hick jargon - i grew up in calgary...) like me in mind. They should both be fairly simple to build and there are no fancy cuts involved.

The first is a box that has a deep base at the bottom to fill that cave inside the compartment. It also adds about .03 cu.ft internally for more air - I would suggest this if you are using a 10" shallow mount sub.

The second one is a simple little box that would need a little more securing (brackets, etc). It is quite small and I would only suggest an 8" - I have heard the infinity 8"reference sub in a box this size and it pounded well...

btw - the angled piece at the back shows 11" - this is approximate - it will probably be slightly smaller...

These designs are for reference only - adapt them however you want - there is still plenty of room left in that compartment - again, I designed these with the simplest contruction in mind. And remember - always double check the measurements!! Measure twice before cutting and all the best to those who want to try these out...

Ok - I don't have the tools to do these myself right now, so I'm hoping some of you will be willing to try these out and let me know. I plan to try and sort out making my own soon enough and I will post pics and results...
