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




- 2 8" subs


- 1 10" sub



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.

moving to the gauge interest group buy forum.

 

Thanks! Sorry about that.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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!!

 

just to clarify, the work is done by bing, and hes located in the san jose area if anyone wants to see if he can get something done. And it's 7 6.5" subwoofers.

 

thought i'd help out a fellow fitfreak member and show you what i have. maybe it'll help you out. i knew it wouldn't be too long b4 someone else has interest in doing this too to their fit. enjoy....

 

wow that looks great! very nicely done.
