Making progress.

The subs stick out a bit further than I hoped, but I'm doing some tweaking to see if I can fix that.

My main issue is that I don't wana trim it much more than I have.

Following this and enjoying your progress, but I liked the angle of the subs before you repositioned them ?? I'd be worried whatever you'll have in your trunk will damage the surround, it's gonna be so close to the floor now.

Curious. Why the decision for custom enclosures?

I liked the angle I had as well, but I had to trim down the base for more trunk space. Thus making them a bit more parallel.

The original angle was to help avoid anything bumping into the subs and I still plan on keeping some of it. It's difficult because I am really limited on airspace. Here's the progress Iv made so far and I'm glad you're learning/enjoying my headaches lol.

Feel free to let me know what you think so far.

Getting close to the end! Wrapped the enclosures in polyester, they fit perfectly! The only issue is the left side is a bit more straight than the right. I'm not sure whether I'm going to fix this or not. Looking good though!

Loving the progress, it looks much better now that I'm seeing felt over it. how are you measuring the airspace? Packing peanuts? Take a good picture of one side. Im looking at that picture where I can see the back deck, it looks like it's begging to have an amp rack installed upside-down up there..... So much unused space. I found an install a while back and had to re find it that I really liked you should check out that kind uses the upper part of all that.

Yeah, I'm using packing peanuts to measure the airspace. I have ~1.2cu ft.

I'm not sure what you mean by the back deck. Meaning the sheet metal above the boxes? That may not be a bad idea, I was thinking of throwing the amps under the seats if they fit. I'll check out your link and see what you mean.

Edit: wow that build is outrageous! Explain what you mean by the back deck, though I don't know if I have that much more cash to throw into it.

It's too late at this point, but do you think he lob-sidedness is really apparent? Iv already fiberglassed it.

Here's a decent example

I wouldn't have used 3/4 mdf, 3/8 or 1/2 with decoupling foam between the deck and wood would probably be just fine, but it's really all how much room you have. (Im looking for some of those ultra capacitors cheap too, those things are BAD)

Honestly from the pictures, they look good, but in person is where you'll be able to tell. I hope you've used enough glass layers on all of this. When I was going to do mine I was reading several people say 9 layers was what most people do. Oh and I found a prime example of the way I had planned on positioning mine. Up away from the floor and angled kinda in.

Either way, it's looking good.

I did it! Good grief that was a process. I lost count on the amount of layers I put after the fleece but I can tell you this whole set up is solid.

Don't judge the horrific wiring set up as I'll be moving everything around. This was just to listen to the subs and see if they sound good in the enclosures.

Fitment is spot on, though it's a bit easier to tell that one side has more angle than the other. Oh well. For my first attempt I'd say I did a **** good job and I'm proud of it.

If anyone has questions, I will do my best to answer them.
