Thought I'd whore my ride out again with more pics for you!
Really like my full Bose set-up but just thought it lacked a bit of bass, basically was looking for an excuse to build myself a fibreglass sub box, always thought I could do it and now I have it turned out brilliant.
Basically I made up an MDF base, back and one side behind the rear light, then covered the wheel arch with tinfoil and covered with a layer of fibreglass, then popped this out of the car and trimmed to sixe. Then I suspended a ring for the sub to mount too made from MDF again and glued it in place on a couple of inch square lengths of wood, when dry, streched an old curtian over the whole thing to get nice uniform curves, then coated with resin, when hard the whole thing got 3 layers of fibreglass to harden it all up, over the top a couple of skim coats of filler to smooth it all off, picked up a sheet of blue suede to match the interior and covered it.
I removed the audi tool box/ cd changer compartment, tools now in spare wheel, changer bolted under rear shelf, then bolted the box in place, it fits a treat, nicely out of the way so boot is still fully useable, really happy with it, pity from the pics you can't really see the genuine carbon weave sub cone from Kenwwod, to keep the theme running through the whole car.
Coming next an Amplifier build of a similar design on the other side of the boot, and then a false black vinyl floor, with window through too neatly layed out tool kit. This will keep the black leather/blue suede/carbon theme running throughout the car.
Sorry to waffle on, I'm home alone again and bored!
