Default Continuation of Pics from the Finished Sub Project

Notes:
1) Six layers of fiberglass cloth were used to create the solid finish, which could easily hold my 200+ lbs frame!
2) Packing peanuts were used to confirm the final volume of the enclosure which turned out to be a nice 1 cubic foot - perfect for the sub!
3) Flushmount ring was purchased from a custom speaker ring designer to subwoofer specifications (dowel rods held the ring in place prior to cloth stretching phase). Rings can be custom-cut and ordered from Elite Installer Supply - Speaker Rings & Templates for Installers

The last pic shows the finished subwoofer installed in the 370Z. It is housed in the trunk near the driver's side rear wheel well and utilizes the extra depth provided by the small storage compartment (not available on the passenger side) - a perfect fit!
