Slick, what kind of wood are you using? I thought about doing this so i'd have a more molded look for my subs, but im afraid of adding too much weight to the car.

[jcbass7]

is it possible to make sub enclosures out of fiberglass or will it not be strong enough?


love the look, pics pics and more pics when its done

[jdg371]

Oh snap! Book shelves!!... j/k
thats alot of wood in there.... I see that you wont have a spare tire anymore?

[Smlogg]

yea tons of sub boxes are made of fiberglass. But like I said, how much does it weight?

[Coomer]

I definitely want to see daily pictures...I love project threads!

[Jaws4God]

DAY 2:

Working on getting the air system back in..







It will add some weight.. but I don't really care since i put a stock 5sfe back in and its bagged so no good cornering.. its a show car..

Day 3:

Didn't spend a lot of time on it, but we were able to get the air system close to air tight. So now tomorrow we can move on to mounting the frame and running all the electrical





poor thing is so dirty... but hopefully by sat it will be done and clean and ready for pics!

Keep it up Dan What are your plans for it? Remember I still have those massive subs if you wanna buy them.... Have the amp and the wiring too

Day 4:

My Uncle got close to finishing the woodwork on the frame, and I did a lot of the air suspension wiring..







side compartments for my spare tools etc..

looking good

[JFrost9]

Looking great, adding those side compartments was a really good idea. What are your plans for the wood? Are you gonna carpet it or fiberglass it or what? Just curious~

nice job dan.

[tim86]

nice project! the layout looks great... even though im not a big fan of audiobahn from past experiences cant wait to see the final pics

[JFrost9]

Yea i agree with tim86, i think your trunk is going to look great, its a shame your putting in audiobahn subs. Such a nice trunk design only deserves such a nice sub. Looks great though.

Day 6: COMPLETED

Got everything in and installed... I still have a semi slow air leak and I need to paint that wood under the plexi













I thought Audiobahns were good subs... well they hit nice and I like them..

[Manta5x]

excellent

[dustin15brown]

What I would recomend Dan is adding a layer of carpet to the area under the plexiglass to make it more of a contrast between that and the audiobahn logo.... But otherwise I think this was very tastefuly done

[snapshotgt]

Looks like you've done a great install. But one comment, and don't take this badly...but if i were you, i'd do something with the bare wood, like maybe stain it or paint it...I dunno, just don't think it flows with everything else.

Ahh thanks, I actually painted it yesterday.. i'll take some updated pics

The biggest thing now is that I have some leak in the tank area and I can't find it.. I've pulled out it, checked the fittings with soap and listened.. can't find any sign of a leak.. yet it will drop about 1 psi every 5 mins..
