You just spent several hundred dollars vamping up the sound system for your vehicle. However, when someone mentioned that you should buy subwoofer enclosures, you knew that you had just what you needed and that it wouldn’t cost another dime. Glad you saved the box, you set your speakers into the speaker boxes they came in and carefully close the lid.

While most people would never dream of doing this, many do decide to scrimp on speaker boxes, figuring they can build their own. While it’s certainly possible, most people don’t have the tools, materials and know-how to make speaker boxes that will serve their purpose without yelling “homemade.” Here are some things to consider about custom, professional speaker boxes.

You can have the most awesome sound system in the world, but kill the effects by muffling. Speaker boxes should be a way to protect your equipment, but should never interfere with the flow of sound. Many speaker boxes do just that. While sound will travel around wood, carpeting and other coverings, the best quality sound has nothing interrupting the natural flow.

Professional speaker boxes that are made specifically for your vehicle will provide stability and protection for your equipment, but will never impede the sound.

Think you have to make your own speaker boxes because they have to fit in a very small space? Think again. You can find all kinds of speaker boxes that will fit almost anywhere. And after these speaker boxes are in place, all you’ll ever need to worry about is how to handle the envy that’s bound to come to the surface when others hear the awesome sound and look for the source.

All in all, you’ve probably got a significant investment tied up in your stereo system. Doesn’t it just make sense to take that one additional step and get the speaker boxes that will do everything speaker boxes are supposed to do?

You can easily order custom Truck Subwoofer Boxes or Car SubWoofer Enclosures online. For example, at SuperCrewSound.com, you can select from a variety of subwoofer boxes. Theses subwoofer boxes are custom built and professionally designed to fit specific vehicle models. Whether you want to install the enclosed subwoofers in the trunk or under the backseat, car audio professionals and installation experts will help you get the best sound out of your system that you can. Complete the sound system in our vehicle and fully enjoy your beautiful ride!

Let’s face it; if you’re driving a BMW 3 series, BMW 7 series, or any kind of BMW at all, then you’re driving one of the finest automobiles on the market. The ride is smooth, the acceleration quick, and overall it’s a comfortable top of the line car. Even the stock sound system that comes with a BWM is pretty nice. Unfortunately, the system does not come with one of the most vital parts of good sound, which is a sub woofer. Sub woofers are meant to give depth and complete the spectrum of sound in a stereo. The BMW product line has a wide variety of sub woofers, car amplifiers, and custom speaker boxes to choose from for your car.

Custom speaker boxes are specifically designed to fit your model of BMW. Therefore, you’ll be able to install your car amplifier and sub woofer without taking up too much space, and without tearing up your interior. Instead, custom speaker boxes will blend with the interior of your BMW so that it looks like part of the original car. When choosing a fiberglass speaker box for your new system you’ll not only be getting the highest quality material producing the best sound possible, but you’ll get a light weight box that won’t add pounds on to your BMW. Custom speaker boxes work by preventing the out of phase waves from the rear from mixing with the in phase waves of the front. Therefore, when installed properly there is no resonance and a crystal clear sound can be heard from all spectrums.

The BMW speaker box product line includes a top of the line Bassforms fiberglass speaker box for the BMW 3 series, BMW 5 series, BMW 6 series, and BMW 7 series. Look for an expert staff that will assist you in choosing the right car amplifier, sub woofer, and fiberglass speaker box for your type of vehicle. Complete the sound system in your BMW and fully enjoy your beautiful ride.

Coming onto the scene in 2003, the Scion is a new breed in automobile put out by the Toyota Motor Corporation. The main goal of the company is to appeal to those of Generation Y, but you don’t have to be a youngster to enjoy the benefits of the vehicle. Scion has put out three different models including the Scion XB, Scion TC, and Scion XD. Whichever model appeals to you, audio manufacturers have the perfect addition to your new car. Sub enclosures will give you the low end sound you need while driving your Scion.

Though the Scion is a great car overall, the stereo speakers might be lacking. The stereo speakers in the Scion are simply meant to be an overall good system, not a deep rich one. They will not put out a deep low end, or even a nice clear high end, but will get the job done if you want middle of the line sound. That’s why a sub woofer and sub box for your Scion will get you the best sound possible for your listening enjoyment in the car. You can choose from top of the line brand name amplifiers, stereo speakers, sub woofers, and sub enclosures that fit the exact model of your Scion so there will be no worries about it blending into the car.

A high quality sub woofer will give you the punch that your system needs in the low end department. A lot of car audio professionals have the expertise necessary to help you get the right amp and sub for your Scion. They can advise you on which system will go well with your car’s already existing stereo speakers, and how you should go about installing them.

Adding sub enclosures to go along with the amp and sub will benefit the sound of the system greatly. Sub enclosures are designed to fit with your model of Scion so that you’ll be able to save the maximum amount of space while still receiving the best quality out of your sub that you can get. A sub box is also made from the highest quality materials so that only the best sounding bass will come from your new amp and sub.

Andy Adams asked:


Car insurance premiums are astronomically high at the moment, most drivers are paying out over £800 on annual premiums, and these are sensible safe motors not the boy racer-mobiles we see on the road these days.

It would sure help us all if the insurers gave us a definitive list of what can help bring premiums down and more importantly what we’re doing that hikes the prices up! The trouble is it is very unlikely the gods of insurance are going to bestow a stone tablet containing the secrets to cheap car insurance. This makes any statement from the car insurance dealers a welcome insight.

This is exactly what Erik Nelsen of Norwich Union, the UK’s biggest insurer has done. He spoke in 2004 of the possibility for a select group of UK drivers to cut their insurance quotes by up to 30 percent by taking a new approach to insuring their vehicle. The scheme is called “Pay-as-you-drive” and anyone who is familiar to mobile phones will recognize the concept, rather than paying for unlimited usage of your vehicle you only pay for however much you use your vehicle.

How does this work? Well pilot schemes conducted by the insurer saw 5,000 policyholder’s vehicles fitted with a GPS device or “Black Box” no bigger than a standard DVD case. This device reports accurate data on mileage direct to the insurer. A monthly usage bill is sent to the driver based on an agreed amount per mile driven.

The scheme was a huge success and has now been rolled out as an alternative to paying car insurance, this scheme especially benefits people who fail to reach even 5,000 miles a year. They say that by providing more information about how you drive can help them in underwriting your car insurance.

Whilst it is only available on the one insurer at the moment it looks certain that this will be offered as an alternative method of getting insured with other insurers and in many cases is bringing about the hallowed cheap car insurance that we all search for. As well as this scheme it is also advised that you get your car insurance quote online as savings of 10% don’t come along everyday!

Brenda Williams asked:


A car with automatic transmission was first developed in the 1940’s; the popularity of the automatic gear box has risen greatly from the 50’s. They have become hugely successful in the United States and other parts of the world, but in Europe the old fashioned manual transmission still reins supreme with car customers. Having a car with an automatic transmission system means that there is no clutch pedal and there is no need to worry about gear changing as the automatic gear box does all the hard work for you. It’s an argument of preference between purchasing a car with an automatic or a manual gear box. Some advantages of both over the other are highlighted below.

Advantages of Automatic

Automatic cars are much easier to get used to, especially if you are a new, elderly or learner driver. Some people prefer them because there is no need to worry about which gear to select or the actual manual gear changing itself, the clever automatic transmission does it all for you, this is especially advantageous when driving through traffic or busy towns and cities as you don’t have to worry about constantly changing gears as you would with a manual transmission. Learner drivers are allowed to learn and take their test in an automatic car which could turn out easier to pass, however if you do pass using an automatic car it will be on your licence and you will not be allowed under law to drive a manual transmission car.

Advantages of Manual

The biggest benefit of using a car with manual transmission is you have a greater control over gear selection; gears can be selected and changed in accordance to the person’s judgment and the situation in hand. There are also greater financial benefits if you own a manual transmission car, it is a well known fact that cars with an automatic gear box will use more fuel per journey over the same car in its class with a manual submission, which could be down to many facts such as automatic cars are usually heavier. Manual cars are not only cheaper to run but they are also cheaper to maintain, if something goes wrong with the transmission on an automatic car it can become very expensive indeed to fix. If your battery or something else related where you will need to bump start the car, this is very easy to do with a manual car as you put it in gear, roll down the hill and bump it, with an automatic car however you can’t really do this so you will have to call for road side assistance instead. Manual transmission cars are also slightly cheaper to purchase in the first place compared to cars with an automatic transmission.

Technological advances in the car industry has enabled the gap between cars with automatic and manual submissions to shorten, as a result more and more people are investing their money in an automatic car as their next new automobile. For some people who are unsure, there are semi-automatic cars on the market which have an automatic transmission system but also they will usually feature an override button so you can switch to manual transmission using the gear stick.

Question Man asked:


I have a mini van and would like to start using digital to analog converter so that we get over the air tv in our car, for the kids on long trips. Many of the converter boxes are rated 12v. I have some extra adapters (actually old cell phone chargers) that I can strip and splice onto the tv power input.

I was wondering if anyone has done this already? Will it work? What are some issues that may arise?
The converter box is 12 volts DC, and of course the car’s electrical system is 12 volts DC. I was just wondering if there are surges that may damage the equiptment?
