As per previous requests here is a mini guide to building a Spare Wheel Well Sub Box for the S2 Coupe.
Before I start I should point out that VAGsport (Sienna) originally built the box and subsequently sold it to me. I do not have detailed measurements for it, but hopefully the will be enough information for some of you to be inspired to have a go and build your own. Also, as you can see from the photo's it was a prototype and had some changes made along the way.
Okay here goes.
This sub box has been built in such a way that it fits very snuggly in the spare wheel well and does not have to be strapped or bolted in place. I also designed the Amp rack so that this also held the sub box in place. It should be noted however that is may be possible to use the spare wheel mounting fixing to secure the sub box by removing the speaker fitting the box and screwing it to the existing Audi spare well fixing with a bolt and refitting the speaker.
Basically the Sub box is constructed of three basic elements.
1.) A front face plate. I would suggest using 15mm or 18mm MDF for this.
2.) A triangular sub box. Again 15mm or 18mm MDF would be suitable.
2.) A curved plywood decorative panel. I think this was made from 6mm plywood.
The result you are aiming for is this:
