supraman7mgte's sub box build

[supraman7mgte]

okay,took some time to compile all these photo's,but here it is!

Started off by making the top template to house the subs,had to trim it to fit under the the back of the rear seat-back.It took some time,and a few screw-ups,but got it done.Made the sides to fit,and the front. More time,more template's and F ups. Final result looks good!

Tranny hump fits dam tight!After I got all of the top pieces cut and fit,I screwed them all together using wood glue.This is the top,2 sides and the front.

I chose Audiobahn's Alum12Q's,around 1 cubic ft of air space.
Here's the most important step,I needed something to keep the fiberglass from sticking so I could remove the NEGATIVE underside of the box.I used good 'ol duct tape to seal off any of the origional floor pan.I was tempted to use a releasing agent,hell Pam would have worked I guess!

Then I cut to fit the fiberglass mesh mesh before hand,the hump piece,the 2 bottom seat pan parts.I left enough to overlap onto the inside sides of the box to secure it to.

This is what the first bottom looked like.Like shit I say!!This was quickly scrapped,but you can see how the fiberglass looks like with the added resin.

This is the new version,new fiberglass,new idea's.I didd'ny hold back on using resin and mesh,just made sure there were no sharp edges to mess up the bass. Let that baby dry!!!

Look familiar? Yup,that's the bottom of the the speaker box,with the floor imprints in it! Talk about a custom fit!That black stuff is the rubberized coating I put on to keep vubration down(2 12's? HAH!)

Just put some grills over the subs, a cushion over that, and stick the ladies back there.

nice job. im doing something similar in my mkii, but am making the box the same height as the floor. ill have the subs mounted recessed and a hard metal mesh over them to keep stuff from accidentally touching them and then it will be covered with carpet. when its done ill look like the rear seats are folded down. these arnt my pics, but first is about what itll look like, and 2nd shows how dep it is. mine will only be split in 2 and will be glassed on the bottom like yours is. ill post pics when its all done. currently i have 2 orin xtr dvc 12's, but plan to replace them with some dvc mb quart 12's to match my mb quart components.
