I’ve been wrecking my brain this last few days trying to work out the best way to construct an enclosure for a newly purchased sub. The factory fitted sub comes in a plastic enclosure that sits next to the spare wheel, as shown;
My plan was to build up a box using MDF (I really only need the bottom half of the space), but it’s proving a bit of a balls to make templates of all the random apertures. I was wondering could I use the existing box to make a mould, then fabricate the new 1 to fit exactly. Anyone ever made a fibreglass box themselves? Or is it more hassle than it’s worth really?! There are a few guides online using a corner of the boot as the template, I assume for an existing box as a template you'd just tape it, then fibreglass on top?
Do you make the shell out of fibreglass then glass in an MDF top face to mount the sub in?
