FR-S / BRZ / GT 86 - Fiberglass Subwoofer Enclosure Prototyping by Integrity Concepts

[Integrity Concepts]

So 7 years ago today, on 7/7/07, Integrity Concepts was officially founded! Yes I like the number 7, and it is my favorite number. Some would say it is the perfect number. No I'm not superstitious and I don't believe in lucky numbers, but since timing was to have it be close enough to work out that way, I said why not.

So what does this mean? Well we figured we would celebrate and allow others to do so as well! If you have been looking into getting one of our enclosures, now is as good a time as any. Check out our $77.77 off special pricing.

Enjoy!

And here it is! <br />

Shipping and customs took about two weeks. Adding another 68 EUR for taxes and customs the enclosure gets rather pricey but the build quality is really outstanding <br />
<br />
The black option is maching my trunk liner pretty well: <br />
<br />
<br />
I was rather surprised that the sub even fits with my Weathertech mat in place (after some careful aligning): <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Using an ARC Audio ARC8D4v3 chassis the tiny sub produces more than enough bass for our car at least if you are into sound quality: <br />
<br />
<br />
The provided fastening is nice (especially if you consider that most subs come without anything) and track day approved. For increased safety (since you have to expect crashes with > 140 mph in germany) I would recommend drilling some screws into the trunk or use those metal fittings which sailors and mountaineers use.<br/>

Here is a look at our latest FRS / 86 / BRZ fiberglass subwoofer enclosure project, a pair of 8" boxes painted OEM FR-S Whiteout / BRZ Satin White Pearl (37J). Also included is a pair of press fit grills painted to match with black suede wrapped trim rings.

Sprayed with a high build primer / sealer, wet sanded to 600 grit, masked off, and prepped with wax and grease remover and wiped down with a tack cloth:

This is a tri-stage paint process with 3-4 coats of base color, 3 coats of mid-coat translucent pearl, and 3-4 coats of clear:



Here is a close up in the booth after the final coat of clear:



After wet sanding the faces with 800 / 1000 / 1200 / 1500 grit they are machine polished and masked off for the application of the sound deadening and bed liner:

PM'd a price quote for the 8" OEM Satin White Pearl pair of enclosures with grills.

Fantastic work! Looking at the quality, I'd definitely be interested in A-pillar molds.

I'd also like a quote for one and both in Crystal White Pearl.

How much airspace are in them? What's the mounting diameter and max depth?

Thanks

Dear integrity concepts, I read on previous posts that you could possibly modify one of your 10'' enclosures to fit a 12'' sub despite not having enough internal volume for a 12''. The only reason as to why I dont want to purchase a 10'' is because I currently own two 12'' kicker comp aluminum series subs and all the equipment to go along with it. I was hoping to transfer that from my last car to my FRS. Is it possible to modify one of your enclosures to fit my 12'' sub? I could always use packing material to compensate for the lack of internal volume right?

Thanks

Hi All,

Just wanted to drop this here. Been using them for about 7 months now. They sound great, look great and bring out the car. Thanks again Dan!

Yes, we can modify our 10" enclosures to house a 12" sub by customizing the face of the enclosure. We essentially move the subwoofer mounting surface and integrated MDF mounting ring from its recessed position to make it a surface mount. This will effectively increase the overall subwoofer diameter allowed to be about 12.5" and increase the mounting/magnet depth to about 9". The enclosures internal volume is also increased to .9 cu ft. In trade, this modification makes the enclosure incompatible with our grill option.

I looked up the specs on your 12" Kicker Comps and Kicker recommends a sealed volume of 1.0 cu ft for a compact enclosure design, while our modified enclosure would come in at .9 cu ft. We stuff all of our enclosures with polyfil acoustical sound dampening material in order to allow the customer to slightly tune the sub and enclosure combo to their liking. This material smooths out the sound and slows down the sound waves within the enclosure, essentially making it act like a larger enclosure within a reasonably close percentage. I feel that if you left most of this material in the enclosure you could make up the .10 cu ft needed to achieve the recommended 1.0 cu ft.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Email or PM me if you would like a quote for performing this modification, estimated shipping charges, etc.

I PM'd you guys a while ago. Feel free to respond as time permits. Thanks!
