View Full Version : SIHHR's Sound Project
SIHHR 04-02-2006, 10:36 AM Hello Guys and Girls,
A friend of mine had a bandpass box that fits 12's and an amp that he no longer needed. So I decided to take them off his hands. I'm not sure exactly what I plan to do with out. However i'm losing my trunk space. I might decided to make something custom. However i'm looking for ideas. Please share.
Here is what I have:

There would be room to have the amp in back of the box. But there no more cargo space. I would buy speakers, the amp works. So I would connect to the stock stero. I'm not sure what I should do. However I'm losing my trunk space. I might have to make something custom and fiberglass.
O6ChevyHHR 04-02-2006, 10:50 AM Dose that hold 2 12s, you could find a smaller box that holds the same, If your looking for tight bass get a sealed encloser not a ported one. Me personally i would just look around and i would get maybe one 12 or 2 10s. Hope this helps.
captain howdy 04-02-2006, 10:52 AM That box is huge. :eek: That is going to be a lot of bass for your HHR! ;)
Skatetheglobe 04-02-2006, 10:55 AM that may be the biggest box ever..
SIHHR 04-02-2006, 11:03 AM It holds two 12's
crowbar 04-02-2006, 01:51 PM im planning two l7's. im gonna take out the palstic floor divider and make a fiberglass box that molds into the side panels by the window and paint it all black, not sure what ill do with the spare tire yet
ng8650 04-02-2006, 03:01 PM Not only are you going to loose your trunk space, but with the size of that crate/box, you'll be loosing your hearing too!!! :D :lol: :smile: That is a big freakin box dude!!!
That thing probably provides enough bass to slowly disintegrate your HHR into small little pieces... :nuts:
Have fun... :p:

I was trying to think of a way to mount the spare up against the wall of the cargo area and make a cover out of vinyl or something..
O6ChevyHHR 04-02-2006, 05:06 PM Is there any room under the rear seats where you could put the spare? Two 17 wow STG, I was thinking of doing 2 12's but in a box way smallet than yours SiHHR , And mine would be sealed not ported!
SIHHR 04-02-2006, 05:10 PM Well the Box and Amp was giving to me for free. So I have no clue what I should do with it yet. Its just a future project for now
chuktaylor2 04-02-2006, 05:41 PM With a enclosure that big you'll have to find subs that'll operate well with the amount of internal volume that box has, and possibly a stronger amp imo. I thought i had sacrificed alot of cargo space with my enclosure but you got me beat.

the problem with that is weight on the door itd never stay open but its a thought or are you tlaking about on the side by the window
SoCalHHR 04-02-2006, 06:22 PM Man! Really SIHHR, there is no need for a box larger than this in the HHR:

I know you got it free, but I would just sell it and put in the Audiobahn bandpass with 2-10's. You can get them for a STEAL on eBay:
Audiobahn Bandpass Box w/2-10's (http://cgi.ebay.com/Audiobahn-ABP10T-Dual-10-Subs-w-Box-Neon-Mirror-NEW_W0QQitemZ9704314798QQcategoryZ50570QQssPageNam eZWD9VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
I run a 300-watt amp at 2-ohms on this box and it is solid in the HHR.
Regarding space issues:
I just finished hauling my bass amp and guitar (in hardshell case), back there this week with no problems. A few weeks ago I mad e a trip to Lowe's to buy shelving for our parts storage. Ended up putting 3 wall-sized storage racks + 2 base cabinets AND a 78-inch x 24-inch DOOR in the HHR! All with my little Audiobahn box hooked up and playing.
So don't tell me you have hauling issues...I don't. :D
snova031 04-02-2006, 07:57 PM Man...wait till you guys see what I've got planned...;)
O6ChevyHHR 04-02-2006, 08:24 PM caint wait to see Snova031! I want to get two tens in a sealed encloser!
