Ive built quite a few fiberglass boxes in the past for my other vehicle for shows and decided to make one for the vibe! Its going to hold a 15" Memphis sub and i built an amp rack recessed in the box. the amp will be fit into the hole with a plexiglass top bein lit from underneath.the box will be painted white and port is tuned to 35htz. I should have more pics as i progress more...lemme know what you think.

Very nice. I can't wait to see it in your vibe. I just bought a Mach 5 Audio MAW-15 for my ride. The enclosure is flared ported 3 cube ft tuned @ 32 hz. Kenny

that looks killer, cant wait to see it finished in the vibe, how much room is it gonna occupy in the back??

SWEET...!!I sure hope you beef that box up a bit, but, considering you've done it before, I know you will... Your going to be rounding over the edges of that port yes?? If not you know you'll get a lot of noise from it, yes? I sure wish more people would share there installs and custom work more here... But, alas, there simple aren't that many people doing custom work to there Vibes... Keep the updates comming...

Agreed!! I don't want to threadjack but here's a pic of my unfinished enclosure..

I can imagine that it's somewhat difficult to calculate proper port volumes with it opening up like that, yes? You going to round over the inside edge of that port?

Finished the fiberglASS STAGE. and test fitted in car. All thats left is bondo, Paint and finishing trims and curved wood for port....

Looking good!!!

looks awesome man, imo i woulda had it abit wider to almost mold around the wheel wells in the back, but none the less you're doing a great job, keep it up and hopefully see the finished product in the coming weeks

wow that is going to be really nice keep going the good work and show us some pics of the finished one to. And did you paint your rear lights?And how will you attach that big box in the trunk(just curious)?Do you know a good step by step of the making of a fiberglass box, because i'm interest but i don't know anyboby near me that can help me?good luck!

Very cool, once again....What are you going to do with your wiring?? It looks like you "might" notta considered that... lol...

nope i considered the wireing. that was a test fit to see how it fit and sounded. i have the wires goin to bolt that gothrough the back. i have 3 bolts coming out the back with nuts on them. i have ring connectors on rthe wires so i can just slip off the nut and attach the wires. like an easy dissconnect fot the power so i can leave the sub/amp wired up in the box.ill take a pic to explain.and i have a fiberglass tutorial website for the person who asked. i just have to find the link.

I can picture it already... And if anyone cares to learn to glass http://www.fiberglassforums.com

thanks for the link sublime

http://www.geocities.com/twztd_ion/theres a site i made for fiberglass. it has a step by step tutorial on it.

thats actually a pretty good tutorial off that site, if i ever get the money i'd like to do one in the vibe, not gonna say how it'll look so no one steals my idea lol

Anymore progress pics?Kenny

How many layers of glass have you put into that?? To me it looks like none? just "grill cloth" and bondo..??

hell no, theres 7 layers of thick fiberglass mat on bottom and top layers are fiberglass cloth. then bondo. Box is strong as hell. Me and a buddy were sitting on it and didnt flex.

looks good, just gotta sand it all down, paint and strap 'er in...cant wait to see the finished product

Cool, as long as it's not flexing..
