Custom sub enclosure

[snowking]

Does anyone know of someone that makes a sub enclosure that will fit into a 18 mojo I’m looking to install one but can’t find a good reputable installer in my area so I hoping there’s someone whose makes boxes?

No one mass produces one that is made specifically for any boat.

eBay has a guy that makes some good quality ones specific to subs. For example, a JLw7 built to JL specs. You would have to find a way to fit it in your mojo. He sells them with carpet but if you contact him he will send raw. Then you spray it with waterproofing.

To have both specific to sub and specific to boat would have to be a custom installer.

I contacted Hydrotunes with hopes that they’ll build me a box and faceplate and ship it to me

I bought a Qpower sub box off of Ebay that was really close to the specs that my sub called for. It is rhino lined black and with the sub grill, looks pretty nice under the helm.

I had mine custom built at a local shop to the specs and size for exile for the xlv

Turned out great

What are people building boxes out of for marine environment? Mdf or something else?

The people in the know will definitely say no to the MDF. They will show examples of the inside swelling from moisture even if the outside is painted. I used marine grade plywood, spraypainted the inside and truck bed liner on the outside.

Check with either of the Earmark Marine TX stores. The trick is if a shop has done 2-3 in-house and have the gross external dimensions and shape down to a tee. Also depends if they did a mild build that looked completely stock or did they do a more aggressive woofer setup that required some modification and custom facade. This makes it very difficult to do an enclosure thats shipping out to a DIY customer unless they are prepared for some extra fab work once the enclosure is delivered.

As to the material used. I prefer a high quality ply over MDF. Either way, its all in the preparation and execution. Prep the box right, install it right, it should last.

What would be a good price for a custom box built to spec and sprayed with truck be liner? Also a custom façade for a nice finished look? I was quoted close to $600

[BigOrange]

Not sure for the finished price of box from a supplier, but to give you ballpark, If I remember correctly, I was $75 to $100 on just materials when I built my own last year: Marine plywood, silicone caulking, fasteners, speaker posts, 2 cans of truck liner spray paint.....

It all comes down to execution. From a reputable shop that knows what they are doing ... that price probably isn't too bad, although it sounds like a lot.

Is that ported?

I was quoted $400 for just the facade from a local shop in Houston.

whats every one mounting these with would a L bracket work screwed to the box and the floor. if so how thick is the floor so i don't poke the screw through.

[KnoxMojo]

If you're going under helm, I screwed mine to the front wall.

Mine is just sitting on the floor currently. It’s so heavy it really doesn’t move much and when it does I usually just push it back with my feet lol. Not the best set up but I’m having issues deciding how to mount it. I’m not too crafty
