CUSTOM BUILT SUB ENCLOSURE FOR E53.

For sale is an 8â€custom sub enclosure to fit the e53 x5.

I was asked previously to build some of these by forum members and decided to make a small number of them for sale. I have already sold a few with very happy customers

you know who you are and thanks for your custom

When I originally thought of making the enclosure I was going to make it easy and just make a relatively square box to fit in the hole. However to get the best volume for sound and create an almost perfect snug fit (to save it vibrating around)I decided to use 18mm mdf and use multiple angles/shapes to get a totally snug fit whilst at the same time creating as much volume to the box as possible but keeping the oem look by having it all hidden away behind the panel.

As said it is made from 18mm mdf and is fully sealed and screwed to make it soundproof. The 8â€ sub hole is already cut so all that is needed is the sub itself to complete the enclosure.
It is possible to fit a 10â€ sub which would require some re cutting of the enclosure front but a good 8â€ sub is recommendedâ€¦ see attached thread below.

Here are some pics of the sub enclosures that are for sale to show you the work involved with all the different angles.

And here is what it looks like with my 8â€ jl audio 8w3v3 sub (sub not included)

To fit the sub enclosure you simply have to remove the boot load cover and hatch door. Then remove the plastic part that holds up the load cover, undo and pull to one side the fuse board and then slot in the enclosure and put everything back in reverse order.

A few pics to see

You can also see from the last three pics above that I added a little bracket to my enclosure secured with a small self tapping screw drilled through the original oem sub fixing plate. Also cutting the panel out and fitting a good quality grill really gives it that oem finish.

Here is some more info on another thread about this enclosureâ€¦. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=506

So to be clearâ€¦â€¦ for sale is a custom sub enclosure to fit an e53 X5 with a two port speaker connection as seen in pics.
I have a few made and ready to post asap.
If anyone is interested please pm me for details regarding price etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and hope I can be of service to some of you.

Keep one for me I will Deffo have one off you, unless I have to sell the car to survive which I really hope I don't have to do, took me 7 months to find my X. If I do have to get rid I will of course let you know if your holding one for me.

Just installed mine with a Focal 21v2 polyglass sub - perfect for this sized enclosure, along with a kicker zx08350.02 bridged 350w amp. The amp also comes with a nice remote to tune the bass on the fly.

Gotta say the non dsp sound system is frankly bollox with no bass, but this set up has transformed my audio and have pulled out some of my old dance tunes....even given up radio 2 for the last couple of days lol.

you can tap into the audio player speakers wires at the back of the boot next to the rear of air suspension pump. The front screen is simply a controller.

Cheers Mitch! Pics will follow.....
