Who wants a custom sub enclosure for $100!!
Hi,
I'm new to this forum but not new to building sub boxes. I'm looking at building a new design of sub boxes for the honda Fit. I see that the sub enclosure area is lacking, after searching around on the forum. I have built numerous boxes for 350z's and other friends cars. Below are some pictures of some of the things I have built just to give you an idea. 2007 Nissan 350z- 3 8" subs http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...n/CIMG0662.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...n/CIMG0659.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...n/CIMG0660.jpg - 2 8" subs http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...n/840A0418.jpg - 1 10" sub http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...subforsale.jpg I'm looking to keep the boxes as cheap as possible but a high quality product, probably color matched carpet over 3/4" MDF. Or maybe even vinyl if you wanted it. It would probably be some sort of pressure fitted design, (it wouldn't look like just some generic autozone/walmart box that rolls around your trunk.) Only catch, I'm located in St Louis Mo. I would need a car to make templates and take measurements so that the first box could be made. If someone located near st. Louis would like to help me out, I could make the first box for you, free of charge!! Let me know of you would be interested, just start making a list, I'm trying to see if I would be able to sell these. First 5 people who are interested gets them for $100. :eek: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. |

I'm very interested. I looked behind the passenger side rear pannel, and am thinking about building a fiberglass enclosure in there, but would love to see what you come up with
|
UPDATE:
I'm working on a few ideas right now, the only problem is that its hard for me to judge the scale when I don't have a Fit available. I'm getting a Fit (for a test drive) from a dealership in the next few days so that I can make the first prototype enclosure. I'm going to be posting a few pictures of ideas in the next few hours, stay tuned.......... |
IDEA 1-
Here is an idea that I have come up with that may/may not be to scale. This is just to give you a possible idea of what it may look like. I really struggled on the right side to understand exactly what was over there so its probably way off. BTW- Sorry if this is your car, I just found a picture on cardomain and used it, because it was the best quality that I found. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...unksubidea.jpg |
I would be down for some kind of fiberglass molded 1/4 panel for one 10".
|
It seems that a fiberglass box is wanted by all. I used to have a 2005 civic si, its a very similar car. I made a fiberglass box for it, I may have to attempt it in a Fit.
To do this I'm going to need the paneling out of the rear hatch area. If anyone has it available, let me know I'm ready to buy. :rolleyes: |
I would be interested if it weren't so big of a box. Since I bought a Fit for the space it has at carrying things, I'd like to try and minimize the space used for the box. Anybody else feel the same?
|
I thought about this to, maybe having a box built into the floor with a removable cover, so that you can show the subs off when you weren't hauling things. I'm still not 100% sure what i'm going to do since I haven't even seen one yet.
|
that actually sounds like a really good idea. too bad i'm not closer... i'd definitely come help you out. I just sold the sub setup I had because it took up too much space.
|
It would be kind of like this....

well i don't know if i need 7 8"s haha!
how do they hit? that cover looks awfully close to the subwoofers. |
ah, you see the trim where the cover would lay? Looks to be about a 1-2inche gap.
|
I just used that as an example lol. That isn't my work its somebody over on my350z.com his work is awesome. :D
|
something along those lines would be perfect though.
|
Anybody in the St. Louis area want a FREE sub box? I'm ready to start building!!
