Custom Sub Enclosue Box (E53)

Post by Sanj » Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:09 pm

Thought I would post an example of what was made for me - yes he MADE this! Think the pictures say it all - they show just how good his craftsmanship is. Also had to finish the box off with a high quality sub and another couple of members were kind enough to recommend the Focal Polyglass 21 V2 - 8" Sub.

Hope you like and once again thank you to the guys that made this possible :thumbsup:

No need - I think I've already done a pretty good job here!

Thinking about getting some of that towel wrap for my steering wheel like the cabbies have :D

In those first couple of pics, I was thinking - "Where in the hell is that gonna go???" but then further down it all makes sense....lol

Quite ingenious really. My install (me thinks) will take a little more of the boot...

LOL - no a forum member made this for me, x555. He was spitting feathers by the end of it. Swore he never make another. You'll have to attempt it yourself I'm afraid... :cry:

Come on Mitch, how much ?? Might be able to afford a tenner, although with the mods on my car it will sink if we get too much snow¬¬
