Sub Enclosure E53 (the x555 way)

Sanj · Post by **Sanj** » Thu Aug 05, 2010 12:52 pm

Another thread that used to be on the old forumâ€¦

I have the Hi-Fi speaker upgrade and wanted to finish it off with a sub. I tapped into the existing Harmon Kardon amp and got my amp wiring (Jig is doing a How To on this). But I needed a good sub enclosure to complete the job. This is where x555 and his skills came into this!

I went with my original Infinity Kappa 10â€ you see in the pictures but that was not perfect for this enclosure. We get a capacity of 10 litres which is ideal for the Focal Polyglass 21V2 8â€ â€“ credit to Pewters and Jig for finding this.

An expensive sub for only 8â€ dimensions but this thing is brilliant, true testament to x555s craftmenship!

So hereâ€™s some pics of his handy work and what it looks like in my car:

Finally the new sub:

Cheers for the big up Sanj

Here's a few more pics of how the enclosures were made if anyone is interested.

believe it or not this is how many pieces to make this enclosure.

and some PITA angles aswell..

here's a before and after of the mark1(left)and the mark2 (right)made bigger for more area/sound believe it or not there was a mark3

8" or 10" sub will fit this enclosure..

and finally mine fitted with an 8" jl 8w3v3 sub and custom oem cover with grill

hope you enjoyed the pics

For me as i have fitted an intravee i no longer have a cd changer so it slotted in there nicely

What a great job you have done there!!

I've got some drawings for a similar enclosure, but no where near as bespoke as yours. Did you work from drawings or trail and error??

Keeping in tone, BIG UP to the x555, you know your da man for this one. Nice empty boot and lovely sound from the Focal, no complaints. Nice tools man.

I used the dimensions that i got from a post on x5outpost at first but they didn't work for me so i tweaked it a little here and there...........oh and yes there were plenty of errors on all three designs

I used a similar place fo rthe amp, just behind the bracket for the changer and SatNav. All held in place with my towels - NO COMMENTS required the rest of you!!!
