even more supplies ...

I've been busy!

got more supplies first of all...



fixed the terminal into place...



couple of pics of the very tidy workshop





started by cutting the wood, (ignore the graffiti, some yob did it!)



Cut the fibreglass bit..



After a lot of sanding, and I mean a lot!





now looking much more like a box

Sweet mate

got some decent speaker cable from a really good mate

and cut the hole for the sub



not much progress I know

Oh and don't worry my mum doesn't know yet, by the time she visits that room I'll be in Sheffield

Just screwed the wood into place so it won't move at all, then slapped some resin and fibreglass on



the end is in sight finally

What it looks like now after some polyfiller...





Next it's just the carpet and we're done!

Can't wait to see it finished mate!! You'll have to report fully on the sound of it also

Test fitted it first



Then got carpeting...



All ready to go in the car...



All Done!



Got to Thank a couple of very good mates who've helped me along the way to make this possible! Raj & Satty, And Phil at car electronics for all the awesome advice to get it done properly & for letting me borrow the roller! Thank guys, Appreciate the help very much!

Top job there mate nice one on getting it finished, looks impressive!

nice work

looks good and very good job.

just one question if i may the outer plastic bit on the sub looks like it is touching the back of the boot does it vibrate at all ?

Haris, amazing buddy, i dont know what to say.

All the hard work has paid off, starting off with no idea where to buy the supplies from, to a finished sub box that works!!!

And all the jokes we had, i cant wait to start a new project in my car!

Satty

Purely awesome mate, how does it sound?

I don't believe it touches anything to to make it vibrate, that bit is metal anyway and it's screwed in quite tight into the box, and trust the box does not move!

It sounds different, hits notes deeper. I'm guessing thats due to the bigger volume of box compared to what I had.

Forgot to stick before and after pics...

Before..



After...



Loads tidier

Would you recommend making one similar then mate? I'm all up for doing one, but a bit unsure as to how it would sound
