what do you guys think? save my butt $200 with a lil elbow grease and fiberglass...

this is a bad picture...it's kinda hazy outside. i liked how the audioformz looked and how it saved a lotta room but didn't have the cash so i built my own

 

looks good.

pretty good, have any build pics?

 

What material did you use and how to build it?

 

looks exactly like the one I've seen on ebay before... are you going to do a how to write up?

 

This is a great idea. I think I've seen this on other scions before. Looks good, and I've always been curious about how to make one.

How big is that sub? I was wondering if there's enough room to make one with dual-subs, 8" or maybe 6"-ers.

 

that setup will have enough airspace for a 10. have room for a 12 but airspace for a 10.

 

i'm using a 10" punch p3 with a mounting depth of 6" and an internal volume of .65cuft. it's not all fiberglass like the audioformz, but the good thing is it's less than $50

materials
1 fiberglass- $4
1 resin- $8
1 1/2 mdf- $5.99
1 caulk- $2
1 bondo-$6
1 speaker connector-$4
1 primer- $3
1 paint(cheap one close enough to match)- $4
1 clear- $4
sand paper 150, 400, 800

top part
1. i used the existing storage bin cover as a mold, masked it out

2. laid one layer glass and coat it with resin. let that dry and pry it out

3. took that piece and laid glass on the back side of it for strength

4. bondo the top part and sand it out(grit 150-800)

enclosure
1. i used 1/2" mdf cut to size at home depot. 2-13"x18",2-5.5"x12",2-5.5"x18". keep the extra wood(external dimensions oafter assembly is 13"x18"x6.5")

2. cut a 3" x 4" piece off of one of the 13"x18" plank to make it fit on that indentation on the right side of the storage well.

3. cut out a piece to cover the 3" x 4" hole and assemble the enclosure using liquid nails or caulk as a sealant and wood screws and

final assembly
1. dry fit the box in the storage well(you should be able to moved it around)

2. once desired position is reached lay down fiberglass cover and mark the of the fiberglass

3. glued box and glass top using more glass and resin and bondo it smooth

4. cut a hole for the sub and one on the left/front side for the speaker connectors

5. primer, wet sand, paint, wet sand,paint, buff, clear, buff

 

Good job. Looks good to me Plus you can say you did it with your own hands.

 

You think that could be done in a tC, because that would be perfect. Wher do you buy fiber glass and resin? Did you take pictures of the install. That enclosure is hot!

 

sorry no pix of the install...should've thought about that. you can get everything BUT the wood and screws at walmart. do you have a storage bin on the Tc? if you do then it's definitely "doable" if you don't then go for a custom enclosure using wood, fleece(100% polyester you can get at jo-ann's),resin and bondo
