Default Custom sub enclosure?

Is there anybody that sells a custom enclosure, moulded or same shape as the impreza boot?

I would like to fit a sub, but preserve as musch boot space as possible aswell.

Thanks

Not that I know of. I was sick of having a box filling the boot so made my own fibreglass corner enclosure to house the sub. Looks far better, far less obtrusive and sounds better imo. Fibreglass enclosures / pods are so easy to do.

Sub enclosure....obviously unfinished...



Pods...

Thanks mate.

As I said, it's incredibly easy to do and sounds better (as long as you get the internal volume right!)

Thanks, as I said it's easy to do.

Basically, the same as this.......

1. Tape all over the corner to keep the fiberglass off the carpet
2. Apply resin and mat and allow to dry
3. Remove from boot and fill the (now hard) corner piece with the required amount of water. When happy with volume / angle etc, mark around the water level and cut.
4. Install speaker ring, stretch fleece and apply resin and mat
5. Apply filler if needed to smooth out, install speaker and carpet
Bingo.
