Sub Box

I'm after a sub box for the MR2 .. Like this ..

Sub Pic

First thing - I think this would be good over a 10" JL sub instead of the mesh ..

topic-32263.gifPerspex cover

The face of the sub box is 18" x 14.5" .. and the dimensions of the screen is 300mm x 200mm - then I'd need a small "hood" at the top to house the UV light?? ..

What do peeps recon?

another idea is to drill a small hole in the end of the perspex and put LEDs in

the perspex then acts as a prism and glows whatever colour you want

just an idea to save trying to construct the 'hood'

but I like the sound on LED's .. just need to find a supplier now ..

could well do .. was thinking a blue light should pick up the white JL anyhow .. but UV may be better ..

im unsure if you can get ultra viloet leds to be honest but it would work as the light will emit from the panel and illuminate the logo

I've never come across visible uv LEDs and i work with that sort of thing all the time.

Jaxx's idea about sinking LEDs into the frame will work fine and should only really need a few LEDs to achieve the effect.

Think I may have found a cheaper source .. but thanks for the link ..

Now I need to have a look at rigging it all up ..

as for sinking the leds into the pespex you only need one or two for maximum effect!

ultraviolets i agree, i think there are 'invisible' ones but thats about it?

rigging them up will be a tad tricky mate if your using normal LEDs as youll need a bag oif resistors aswell

suggest take a look at this www.ultraleds.co.uk as they have ready made up led bulb style things which should be a lot easier??

again, lsdiodes has resistors as well, and a link to a calculator to show you what resistors you need.
