    Clean, tight bass

    Written By Adam, Fresno, CA on Tuesday, December 01, 2009
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    After reading the other reviews about rattles from this box, I decided to go overboard on the sound dampening. I used Dynamat on the inside of the box, as well as on the hidden side of the plastic panel, and the inside of the sheet metal in the back corner. I also used weatherstrip on the backside of all plastic parts in that corner of the vehicle, then put polyester fiberfill in the cavity behind the panel. I installed a JBL GTO804 and hooked it up to an Infinity Kappa Five amp. I have clean, loud bass with all types of music from rap to classical, and rock to techno. Beautiful sound.

    3 stars for sound, 5 for utility

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Lets face it the basic concept is: lets mount a single sub expected to fill a medium sized suv cabin with sound to a thin piece of plastic in the back corner. It is IMPOSSIBLE to put a powerful sub into something like this without getting rattling. that being said, the box is .40 cubes, which means that aside from the rattle its a near perfect match to my 8" polk momo sub as far as size goes, and the bass is tight and clean(if occasionally dirtied by plastic rattling), it only rattles on extremely strong, low notes, especially sudden ones like strong kickdrums. All in all, its at a major acoustic disadvantage compared to a traditional box, but mount it carefully and securely, and dont expect to run more than 250 watts to the sub in it, and it'll do exactly what it claims, fill in the bass (which the tiny 5 1/4 factory speaker mounts assure you dont have) without filling your trunk.

    side note: the polk momo 8" sub has performed beautifully as has the profile 65Wx2 amp bridged to power it.

    Better than expected

    Written By Matthew, MN on Sunday, January 27, 2008
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I purchased this box with relatively low expectations given the review that was previously made for this product. I have to say that it more than exceeded my expectations and was the right product for my needs. I compared this product to the Infinity Basslink II, which is a fantastic unit, but found this box (with an Infinity reference 8" sub and rockford amp) to be the perfect compliment to my infinity system (6020cs & 5022i). It does not produce bone shattering bass but adds a kick to my sound system. I did not want to be heard a block away. The sound is contained within the vehicle and the box is barely noticeable in the trunk. I would rate this box a 5, but the instructions included with the unit were less than helpful, the manner in which it attaches to the panel is awkward and flimsy, and it does have a tendancy to rattle the panel on certain notes at higher volumes (it is very minor and would probably be remedied by applying dynamat, which I plan to do when it warms up outside). Besides those minor problems, I am very pleased with this unit. If I could do it all over, I would still purchase this unit.

    Disappointed

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Unfortunately, the truth is it's just not a great design. A really great idea- but not logical. I was looking to installing some power into this enclosure to save space as I'm always using my cargo space for my business, (and got a little tired of lugging the dual 12" bandpass box in and out everytime I needed the room,) but this enclosure just can't handle decent power without vibrations. I knew there was an existing possibility of getting some rattling when installing a sub in this box, so I took the time to apply Dynamat to the entire metal body behind the factory panel, along with some additional sound proofing between the enclosure itself, and the plastic cargo panel it was being attached to. (In addition to the foam inserts and wraps that come with the enclosure.) Running a mono Alpine amp into an 8" 200w RMS Polk Momo subwoofer, (an amazing subwoofer I learned with this project, by the way!) it was just too powerful to pound out of the XJ pod. The unit was secure, but even after a second attempt of securing it with the screws in different mounting positions, this one corner of the pod in particular was vibrating beyond belief. I would say it MAY be possible to mount the pod with minimal vibrations, but would suggest possibly considering even more sound dampening than I used, (and that was what I thought would be enough precautionary measures,) mount it differently than using the supplied self-tapping screws, or possibly just using a lower rated subwoofer. I tried, but returned it... just have to stick with the task of moving the bandpass from time to time. It was discouraging though, as it did look really neat and clean, matching the interior perfectly.
