New sub enclosure for my B6 S4
<center><img src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d55/vbgsx/finished.jpg"></center><p>
Well I've been working on this for a few weeks now.
My original goal was to create a sub enclosure that:
1. sounded good
2. didn't use up space in the trunk
3. looked stock
4. could easily be hidden
5. can easily be put back to stock without damaging anything.
I think I accomplished my goals [
]
It was the first time I've ever worked with fiberglass but it wasn't as bad as I thought.
Just want to know what you guys think.
I also have a bunch of pic.s of the process I went through.

I may just color the tabs black so they blend more.

Believe it or not, there is a ton of room behind that panel. The sub I used....
W3 only needs 0.5. I forgot to measure it but it's about 1.0 cu ft. Definitely has more than enough room. I put it in my SUV with a Rockford 300 watt amp, to test it. The thing just pounded. I was amazed with it!
I ended up making two of them.....the one you see here and a mold so I could always make another. Just in case I messed this one up. I could always take pic of the mold to show you how much room I had.

Well I don't usually put anything back there....not yet at least. I may still do....
some tweeking but it looks like it would be fine with the cover up.
If I only have a couple items...suitcases etc...the cargo net should keep them secured from hitting anything.
I guess only time will tell.

Looks great! I want to do the exact same thing with my 10" Alpine Type-X this spring. The only
thing I want to do is remove the door itself while still being able to re-attach it if I so desire.
I'd really like to see the pics of the process and your mold!
