ZenClosure Question - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

lightsareout · 02-11-2011, 10:20 AM

Those of you with the ZenClosure, how did you fasten the box so that it doesn't slide around? Or does it come with some kind of bracket or anything?

It's a tight fit so it doesn't need to be bolted in. The zenclosures box is very good I'm sure you'll like it.

I have this enclosure with two 12" JL's and it has never slid around.

I have a zenclosures box with a single 12 in it and I needed to secure it.

I just used L brackets from home depot. Just screw into the floor but make sure there is no module under the screw.

Mine sit still without securing. I was recently rearended and the box finally shifted a little. You will be fine without securing.

BTW, OP if you order the box for a single sub make sure you have them adjust the internal volume for the sub.

I forgot to tell them this and I ended up have 1.87cu ft for my type-R....it's suppose to be run between .9 and 1.5 (I think) cuft.

Really you had to secure it for me it was such a tight fit that it wouldn't budge without some effort. Even with my spirited driving it would not budge. Did you get it with or without the amp cutout I doubt it makes a difference but I got it with the amp cutout under the box.

Well I don't know if you have a ski pass opening or not but when I push the enclosure right up against the opening and "seal" it off, my sub sounds quieter.

I left about a 1/2in gap in between the rear seats and the enclosure. Maybe this is why it fell back under hard acceleration.

I hate to thread jack, but are all you guys running off the stock deck? I'm trying to run 2 Kicker L5s but dont want to change the deck out.

I'm getting a signal from the stock L7 amp and feeding that to a JL 500/1 which is pushing my Type-R.

Ok that could be why I dont have a ski pass so I have it pushed all the way back.

Same here I tapped into the sub channels off the stock l7 amp using a line output convertor I have a type r hooked up to a PDX m12.

I am doing the same thing. I tapped the L7 amp and ran my amp from there.
