Morphenspectra Subwoofer Box, Passenger Footwell Type Options

[Allan]

I just got my new subwoofer enclosure from James, but have a question.

Who has one, and how did you secure it in the footwell?

Btw, I highly recommend it if you're wanting bigger sounds in the car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The 8W1v2-4 looks like it's a perfect match for the box, though it's not part of the W3 series that you're looking for:

No thanks, I'm sticking with dual voice coils. If I can't get a W3 to work, I'll look at other brands that have an 8" DVC speaker that will. But the more I look at the spec sheet and enclosure requirements on the JL Audio site, the more I'm pretty sure an 8W3 will work. It has the proper mounting depth, volume requirements, etc. The only thing that might not work is if the MDF used isn't thick enough (if the box was designed for a 50watt SVC speaker, there wouldn't be any point in using beefy MDF). That wouldn't be a design problem though, just special order the box with thicker wood. The 8W3v3 only needs 0.30 cubic ft of volume while the 8w1 needs 0.375... weird. The 8w3v3 does need more mounting depth, but still less than the specs Morph posted. Should be good.
