My Fiber glass sub box, Molded to the side Options

[creis]

Ok it’s been a long time since I started this project but its now just coming to an end with complete success. My holiday free time has proven to be just what I needed.

Anyway it’s a fiberglass duel 10" subwoofer box for my Audiobahn AW102T subs. (powered by my Audiobahn A8002T amp.) It’s molded to fit right up against the driver side just under the strut mount door and trunk light. It’s not molded into the side (there is a noticeable line/gap between the edges so that it’s removable if needed, however its maid so that the spare tire can easily be taken out without moving the box.

Below are some pic's showing its creation:

^My old box^






(It was pitch black when i took the pics, so they came out terrible)




^Used chrome looms and T joints to hide all the off color wires and electrical tape.^ The pic makes it look like there sitting on the floor but there actualy atleast 1/2 foot up untill after the inside sub where it angels and go right into the corner.

also: I still plan to make a fiberglass replacement for the trunk cover where I will mount the amp and cap to the trunk side covering them also with fiverglass (except for a few holes for the knobs etc.)

What do you guys think, Original? Anything I can add? I'm always open to new ideas!

fleece or cloth when raping it?

My old Fred Meyer work t-shirt (I loved cutting it up) but it was just the right size and thick, i was just a fancy cotton (not fleece) but I here a fleece is better.

I love the back side of thies subs, they almost look like there suppose to be back out because the cone is so simple, but the back is all nice. It also allowed me way more freedom with the design of the box, I could do it as nerrow as I needed with no problem. Just the matter of volume to actualy worry about.

between the interior and the fiberglass your laying on

I used a craft store spray adhesive and saran wrap I though about vasaline but yeah what a mess to clean up, the adhesive was for cloth and did not stick solid to plastic so it came right off when needed to. then its just wipe-up-able to get it off the side of the trunk.
