Last week while the family was out shopping we came across this 10" sub box at the local Goodwill during half price Saturday, so for a whopping $5 bucks I brought this home and figured I could finally get off my duff and toss some gear I have had collecting dust on the shelf together and get some thump in my trunk.
The dual 4" subs in the 100 actually perform well for what they are. But they in no way compare to a proper sub. I used to install car audio as a hobby and side job (back in the day) but I haven't messed with it in a long time. I picked up this sub and amp a while ago for a great deal but making a simple 1 cubic foot box stalled me out... man three kids and a loving wife and my garage time goes to other things. Finding this box made this a plug and play... well almost. It was in grungy black carpet, that had to go.
Here is what I am starting with...
Alpine Type R 10" subwoofer (these are amazing for the price)
Alpine MRP-M500 500 watt mono amp.
Alpine Speaker grill for the sub
Q-Logic 10" speaker box with .65 cu/ft sealed air space.
1 square yard of OEM Matched tan vinyl
My el-cheap-o box. The Alpine Type R's can handle serious power and they hit really clean. They are a high value sub.
I started a thread here a long time ago looking for OEM color vinyl and Keystone Bros was recommended, sure enough the guy who helped me walked out to the 100 with a big swatch book of colors and bingo we were on to "Neutral Tan" I'll grab the factory part number but don't have it handy right now, but it is 100 percent dead on.
