Thanks, I built it myself. It's my first fiberglass enclosure. Over all it wasn't that hard to build but man is fiberglass work messy. I read up on building them and every one said cover everything and they are not kidding. You never know what you will touch with a glove covered in resin (like resting your hand on the tail light for balance). I'm very happy with the finished product other than the carpet, I used some left over black from a previous sub box instead of getting charcoal to match.

It's molded from the coupe trunk so I don't think it would fit the 4 door. But if you have some free time you can build your own.

you have to use metal , self tapping screws, and screw it into the metal portion on the rear of the seat...

Looks good midgets! Do you have the Bose system or standard? I'm curious if you have the Bose if you disconnected your subs or not.

Thanks, I have the Bose system and I did leave the stock subs wired. One reason was I couldn't get the stupid plugs off the speakers and also figured more bass, if it sounded bad and it doesn't then the factory subs would get unplugged (some how).

So midget, with the aftermarket and factory subs both going, you still get clean, clear bass? I'm under the impression there would be a slight delay from one to the other and it would be muddy...

You have the same setup as mine! Kicker 10" with a kenwood amp. I don't have the fiberglass enclosure though

Wish someone would make these enclosures and sell them on NICO!

The box is nice and clean but do you think it would sound better if it had more air??? I have made several boxes before and that box look a little small for the speaker.

Looks good tho...
