Version 3 of the SRT Viper sub box

[Steve M]

The other idea i had for the coupe is to cut the section of the trunk next to the battery. Then i could just build a box that would slide in and hang next to the battery.

Orrrrrrrrr, just build a box the fits back there and leave the trunk in tact. There is absolutely no reason to do what you are suggesting.

Here is the passenger side floor box. I'm 5'11" and still fit. The box is .5 cubic feet. 8" Sub will fit good i can make a 10" fit but you will lose a little more space.

Bought a JL 6w3 to put in the stock location, figured I'd build a custom box. I have a Vert and with the top down, basically any music behind me hardly makes it to my ears. I've got 2 focal mids+tweeters that are wasted in the waterfall area. I was concerned that even a better sub would suffer the same fate, especially after reading so many comments. I've got a shallow Kicker sub in the factory box already. Sounds like sh*t. So, I built an enclosure to go in the passenger footwell, probably around .75 cu/ft, more than that speaker needs. All I can say is that I enjoy listening to music again in my car. It is unbelievable, music doesn't sound off-key anymore and if I want, I can shake the car. I won't waste my time stuffing something behind the waterfall.

Just finished my install of a 6w3v3-4 sub-woofer in my Gen3. I followed NMviperguy's installation tips and it went in perfectly (Thanks NMviperguy!).

I also used the stock box - I really didn't want to spend any more money than I had to - I've got some other mods I'm interested in doing.

Anyway, at first I thought there was a bit too much woofer movement (from the ported stock box) which caused vibration during songs with a lot of bass. So I filled the stock speaker box's interior crevices with some foam and it improved quite a bit with less air available. But at higher volume (and I mean HIGHER volume) I was still getting a bit of vibration from the sub's cone back-and-forth movement. I think normally I wouldn't have noticed the vibration in a regular positioned sub, but since the Viper's sub is only a few inches from the driver, I could hear it and stuff like that tends to annoy me.

So, I removed the upper port's screen cover (just pops off) and filled the tube with a rolled up black sock (yeah I know -a sock?) Anyway, that worked and it was the magical setup for me! With the air tube blocked and some foam crammed into the box's interior crevices, it really hits hard with no vibration. I can crank up my RB1 radio to about 3 1/2 clicks from full volume and all it does is thump!

I got the sub on Amazon for $149 and the spacers on eBay for $6.99 (1/2") and $9.99 (1"). I also bought the sub screen cover ($16.99) on Amazon so it matches the other top screen and the door speakers. I bought two 14" square foam pieces (1" and 2") from Hobby lobby for less than $5.00 total. The sock was free.

Thanks again to NMviperguy for figuring out how to do this in the first place.

Haha, glad I could help. Where are the pictures??

Here's a photo of my JL sub install - I didn't post one before because, minus the speaker cover, it looks just like the pic you posted...

It sounds a whole lot better than the old stock one...

looks good, did you re-use the stock amp?

[X3 V10]

Yes - I kept the stock amp. The install was really straight forward and the sub went in without any issues. I have the Mopar iPod interface connected to my RB1 radio and it really is a pleasure to listen to actually feel my music in the Viper!

[NMviperguy]

I am not using the stock amp or deck. I'd love to take credit for this but bought the car with these amps installed.IMG_20150603_140212781.jpg

Do have Any dimensions on the size of the speaker box?

Do you hav dimensions on the size of your speaker box?

[Red venom]

Nice setup

[Redx]

alright. billseast or anyone else planning on selling a footwell sub box? im interested!!

[freedom5]

X2.

[billseast]

I can make some any time you want them

[freedom5]

How much for a box?

[ViperWally]

I am wanting to change the speakers in my Viper. What are the dimensions of the speakers? I especially need the center Sub in the center console. Width and depth of it. Can I fit an 8" Sub or does it have to be a 6.5" Sub? there is a Digital Design here that it depth 4.5" ?

What does all the experts say?

[NMviperguy]

So I don't know the depth but it is a 6.5 on the bottom and a 4 inch on the top. I put a sub in both, earlier in this thread I explain how I use 2 spacers with no rattle or distortion to allow a much deeper sub.

[stallion114]

If anyone has a nice stereo for a vert I'd be interested in purchasing

[Ludington1]

Does anyone know what size the 4 factory screws are which hold the sub in? Or for those who have done the upgrade to the JL 6w3, what screws are you using? Today amd yesterday I took mine apart to do the JL in the stock box.

My factory sub had previously been changed to a Kicker, which was screwed directly to the factory box. I screwed the 1" spacer to the box, then re-installed the bulkhead cover. When I go to put the 1/2" spacer amd sub in there, just not sure if I should be using a long screw and trying to go through the sub, 1/2" spacer and the 1" spacer into the box, or just screws to get through the sub and 1/2" into the 1"? And did you trim the 4 tabs on the bulkhead cover, or left them there between the 1/2" and 1" spacers?

Thanks,
Darren
