it all depends on how good with your woodwork you are
follow the instructions with your sub very carfully
make sure u have the right volume in your box
or sound will drematically b lost
for example having them in your parcel shelf not a box
then build your box to fit the area u want it to go
i have my 15" in a sectioned bass horn setup
very complicated
its fitted in on the right hand side of the boot but still takes up half of the room in the boot
the thing is witht the polo is the boots are very small not like old jetta lol
so u really have to cram it in using all the little bits of space you can get in the side which gets very mithematical when u want the box the size for the sub

the best thing i can sujest is give demon tweeks a bell and get a premade one which ould be ferfect for keepin space and your spare

VERY DIRTY POOR PICTURE
its all i have of it atm as i only finished it at the start of the weekend lol

indeed thats how i did it (didnt wanna pay £50 for one already done)

but that setup he has made was a little on the small side for the driver he was using running the risk of overheating the voice coil

errmmm

sorry mate but why do you think i'm being scarcastic i was just asking you where i would be able to get one from, because most of the ones i've had a look at are £100+ So should be able to get one from demon tweeks then, much simpler this way
