Another custom coupe sub install

[Greg_S]

Ive been meaning to post a few details about the sub box I built for my coupe sometime ago.

I didnt want to loose the option with the sparewheel and looked at other ways to get it installed and decided to make use of the cubby hole on the right of the boot to make up the volume needed for the sub box.

It was a bit of a PITA to construct because of all of the angles but it has meant that I have kept alot of the boot space too.

Underneath I fitted a NL2MP Speakon socket to connect upto the Amp which was installed in the boot cubby hole using one of the Audison LRX amps which was the perfect dimensions to fit in there, and I have left room for a second amp on the rest of the audio if needed.

I built this tiny woofer for my S2

Henkjan, looks like a good solution, where did you mount the amp for it?

[Henkjan]

the amp is screwed to the back of the rear seat (so if the photo would have extended more to the right, you would have seen it).

not that this is realy a small cab, only some 9 liters, but for many 8" woofers that should be OK.

I installed mine in the same corner. I have my amps where the spare tire goes though.

[Greg_S]

Kingate, did you use the cubby hole for extra volume too? How hard was it building it from fibreglass?

[Kingate]

Yes I used the cubby space. I used cardboard down in the cubbby to get the shape I wanted then used masking tape to tape over the cardboard and areas surrounding that I wanted to overlay. Some wax and pva over everything so the glass doesnt stick to it. Used a mix of 3/4 and 1.5 ounce mat and 1708 with polyester resin. Its really not that hard at all but I do fiberglass fabrication and repair for work so that helps. Amps are in the spare tire area with a capacitor under the wood floor.

[Greg_S]

Very neat solution. Next time around I might attempt the fibreglass route. It was uncharted territory for me on this one, but will certainly try it in the future.

I found some more pictures from the box construction so thought i'd add them.

Still waiting for my subs to be delivered - 8 weeks after ordering them!
