Enclosure question
I just purchased 2 JL12W0's and a Kenwood KAC-7251 amp that I am having
installed in extended cab area of my 2002 Ford Ranger. I also bought 2 single prefab 12" MDF enclosures for the subs. My plan is to have the 2 boxes standing on their ends, so that they are basically standing up instead of sitting down. For the amp, I am wanting to use either a piece of plywood or MDF to connect the 2 boxes, which i will mount the amp in the middle of the board. I want to do it this way so I don't have to drill into the frame of the truck, and so that it will hopefully help steady the 2 boxes. Here is what I am wanting to know... 1) Would I be better off with plywood, or the MDF for this wall for the amp? 2) What kind of price can I expect to pay for these 2? The size would be roughly 2'x4' 3)Where can I find the carpet to cover this board that would match the carpet on the prefab boxes(greyish black)? Would this be available at a HomeDepot type store? or would I be able to get it from my local car audio shop? Thanks for anyone that can help, and quick responses are appreciated as I having it installed on saturday, and with it beign holiday week, i have minimal time to locate and prepare this before the amp must be put in. Thank you very much! Andy |

Here is what I am wanting to know... 1) Would I be better off with plywood, or the MDF for this wall for the amp? You know, I'm not really sure if it matters. I always use MDF but then that's because I always seem to have some of it lying around. 2) What kind of price can I expect to pay for these 2? The size would be roughly 2'x4' Under $10. 3)Where can I find the carpet to cover this board that would match the carpet on the prefab boxes(greyish black)? Would this be available at a HomeDepot type store? or would I be able to get it from my local car audio shop? Depends. Home Depot will probably have something that matches the prefab carpet. If you want to match you trucks carpet (or if Home Depot does have the right stuff) you'll need to go to an automotive supply store (i.e. Napa Auto Parts, Checker Auto, Bumper-to-Bumper etc.). When I'm trying to match my stock carpet I usually go to an automotive upholstery shop because they have the exact match, and their prices are reasonable.

For carpet to match the boxes as you asked (not the interior carpet), look to http://www.crutchfield.com/S-obFA628...&search=carpet I'm sure there are other places but this came to mind first. Joel |
