So this could be considered a DIY but I am not posting step by step how to! I just wanted to show off my gallery of pictures of me making my custom fiberglass box i did this last week!

Enjoy!
first few pics are random sized sorry!

Half of it built outside and inside the car.


Most of struture finshed before fiberglassing the front for a customer look and im using a 12in unlike the 10 yo see under strut most times that why im fiberglassing it out.


This one youll see the uneven and gap in the front this wont matter it just to get a outline shape of the fiberglass youll never see this.

Went out bought more supplies!

This I fiberglassed the inside and front so seal any place air can get! and to get more clean base with out that wood sound.

then I made my ring, and then fited it and made brackets.



Covered it in sheet.

then fiberglassed it over it.

So i added 1 more layer of fiberglass then test fitted the sub in the box and then the box in the car to make sure everything is still on track!

I desided i may still want to add a clear coat but imma use auto clear coat that you would paint a car with for streanth and aslo so i can buff it make it look perfect! or i was maybe still thiking i might try somethign new and vynil it, let me know what you think!

Nice work!

Personally, I'd either vinyl is or use a carpeting similar to what's lining the inside of the Z's hatch area. I'm not a fan of the glossy fiberglass sub boxes tho.

Yea I with you on that it was fun and look good before but this time im looking for more of a custom but clean oem look, Im going to let it sink in a little bit, but I am going to see if there any places that sell some good vinyl! any ideas?

Matching vinyl would look perfect. Nice build. The black just makes it look cheap right now without clear.

Looks gud. Hw does it sound..?

kyouki350z

thanks, It sounds Great! has a real deep but clean bass. i need to tune it a little more still though! but i could not be any happier with the little spaced i had to play with to keep as much trunk space as i could! and also i tested it, it still fits both golf bags so my lady cant get mad at me Witch bring up the vinyl idea agine I think im going with that idea cuz it will be stronger and less chance to scratch with stuff back there like golf bags!

Very Nice Work!!!! I agree with putting some vinyl on it.

nice work!! Looks GREAT! I plan on making a fiberglass sub box myself one day. So this is going into the subscribing vault for future reference.

you may want to look into wraping it in carbon fiber. That is want I am thinking of doing when I finally decide to built mine.
