Review: Q-Logic "Custom" Dual 10" Sub Enclosure

[98 Neon Driver]

Beacon, what is the availible mounting depth for the subs? The box has enough volume to mount a pair of Fosgate HE2 12s, I was just wondering if it had the depth if the openings were enlarged for the 12s

Top mount depth was 6 1/4" approx. I'll have to go out and double-check, it'd be close but you could probably enlarge the mounting hole to accept 12's. Only problem would be the ABS lid. With the 10's you've got about 1/4" between the outside edge of the speaker and the lid so you'd either be laying the lid on top of the 12's or you'd have to cut the lid out to accomodate the increased rim size. Which would most likely be the preferred way to go as you'd have some serious vibration issues if the lid was resting directly on the rim of the 12's. I'll run out and take some more measurements and post it later.

Okay went out and took a look. I think you'd be okay as far as the cut-out. The HE2's have a cut-out of 11 1/8" (at least the ones they have at Crutchfield do ) which would only put you 15/16" wider for the cut-out on all sides. You've got a healthy inch at the least all the way around in the interior. I'm not 100% sure though that the mounting flange wouldn't go past the lower dimensions of the box but since it's 5/8" MDF you've got plenty of room to set screws.

You will definately have to trim the ABS lid though, don't think there'd be anyway around that.

HTH.

I won't be doing it until spring/summer when I get the car, but I'll try to get some pics. If I don't buy the QLogic box I will have a shop build me a clone that will accept the 12s
