- Showing you the wins and dramas of building a moulded fibreglass subwoofer enclosure in a 2018 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, installed a nice clean sounding Rockford Fosgate 10" Punch Subwoofer, but not everything goes exactly to plan.

Awesome work! One thing I found with working with a flush fit. If I see there is a tiny gap between the trunk carpet and mold AFTER you lay the enclosure carpet down, this is how I work around it. I take a thin strip of (enclosure) carpet, glue it down to the back edge of the enclosure where the gap is. Then I reapply the enclosure carpet over this edge( and yes over this thin strip of carpet. The carpet strip acts like a soft spacer. It will bring up the carpet edge where you need it to be and collapse as needed to fill in the gap. WORKS EVERY TIME!
Might get this done in my next car...I'll be back soon Neil 😎
Very talented man. Awesome stuff.
Thank you!
I always hold on to large cardboard/packing boxes to cut up for bench protectors😎
Frumos lucrat…. Succes in continuare🙏😀👏
I am wanting to do something similar in my Ranger for a bass box... space is tight so could I cut the og backing and mask straight onto the metal work? I'd then add some sound matting to the inside of the fibreglass shell to dampen it down?
How do you size a sub to an enclosure? obv you want know the cu3 of the box until you make it?
How did you secure the box to the car?
Nice tutorial. Appreciated.
Interesting method. I would have done it differently. I would have taped off the car part before adding the wood.
Cool info dude. You shoud use more tags for this 👌👍
looks really good. how do you calculate the volume for speaker application?
Hi zigwil, the easiest way is to tip it on its back and fill with water, then measure the volume, you could also try to break the enclosure up into shapes internally and work out their individual volumes but the water trick is much easier
Do you have a list of everything you used?
Awesome video dude, im planning on doing a vary similar build, could you tell us how many m² of fiberglass did you use? Also how many liters of resin. Thanks!
Hi there, in all honesty it depends on how thick you make the walls of the box, a minimum of 4 layers is a nice solid wall so I would estimate I've used about 6m x 1 m on this build and as to the resin you will need at least 5 litres of resin for this, basically the more the better, thanks for the comment and watching the video.
@@creativecarsounds4484 cheers mate! I'm done with the build, used around 4m² and 5L of resin, used more in the blanket stage than anticipated, you were a great inspiration! Please upload more fiberglass boxes!
How do you connect to car??
How did u screw the base in place from the bottom?
Hi bowezz, its screwed to the lip of the oem trim the the fibreglass bonds the new box and base together, then unscrew from oem trim
How do you pin the box to the side of the car so it doesn't move when taking hard turns?
Great video and amazing work. I hope to do the same some day
Hi Carlo, as the box is in the location to access the light cluster in this car I would always advice using good quality Velcro on the back of the box to give some grip, as the box fits snug inside the boot shape it will hold fast but can be removed if required.
Hey, can you suggest me like I followed all the procedure and my front is also made up of MDF wood still there is no bass coming out even after 5 layers. Please suggest something for this
Hi there, that does sound odd, what amp and sub are you using as to get no bass at all means something is wrong with the wiring, even a sub not in a box produces some bass
Waffle is actually good - the corrugations actually make the fiberglass stronger. 🤣
The door card🤣🤣🤣
but how do you know the sub has the proper box space?? its all guessing?
Hi, the easiest way to check the volume is to fill it with water, check my video on the lexus sub install and you’ll see the method
How much do you normally charge for a box like that
Hi, thanks for the comment, it really comes down to what you want built and what equipment is being used, the heavier the bass the more material and therefore more cost, usually the boxes don’t come cheaper then around £400 but they do get a lot more expensive than that
Wrapping the factory panel behind the enclosure with the same carpet would high the fact the the 2 don't match.
Hi slap happy, very true, it looks worse on the camera then in real life and customer was happy with how it looked, so thats all that matters to me 😊
hello factories to sell?
Hi Ivan, Would be nice but spending every day building the same thing would be very boring for me
like my grandmaa: bla bla bla blaa bla
Its cool your grandmaa is still doing awesome car audio installs 😆
Dude loves to talk. jfc
Looks expensive
Hi Darrell, depends on your budget but as you can see from the work its a lot of labour to build
Good job. But please stop saying "obviously" all the time. If something is obvious, you needn't say so. Because it's obvious.
I’ll try to do better, obviously I’m grateful for the feedback 😆
How does it attach to the car
