my carbon fiber sub enclosure

[tshrey]

What did you put down in the spare tire rim when you laid the fiber to prevent the resin from sticking to the rim?

Here is a link to how someone did it on i-club.

I have the mold complete, just looking to put the top on it. Based on the first pic it looks like the top plate of the enclosure is at the same height as the support bar running through the factory cover. Do you have any problems with the woofer hitting the cover at high excursions?

Man that looks and most likely sounds TIGHT!

I Wish my 10w7 would fit like that. I need at least 1.25 of space.. I have a box being made as we TYPE... I went to JL's website and took a Civic Sealthbox Spec. and gonna build one close to that. ill take pictures when its done...

sweet!!!!

i may try that in fiberglass, but i have a question. do you really need the molded encloser? couldn't you do the exact same thing without the fiberglass/cf, just use the spare tire "tub" as the encloser? has anyone tried that? it would be a larger "encloser" and an easier project. i guess there may be problems sealing it properly.

That enclosure is off the hook, but where's the amp?

That is a hellova nice enclosure... I think I'm gonna have to byte off your idea though. How much CF material did you use? Thanks for a great post on a dope encolsure.

I can't use the link to the iclub since they changed their address. Does anyone else have directions on how to do make one of those enclosures? I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome dude. This thread gets a bump because it's a really nice idea. I have it bookmarked so in like 4 eons when I get a WRX I can make one.

How much would cost?
Thanks

You sure thats a W6? If it is, it cant be the V2's. They are a blank dust protector now, no JL written on it. Sure its not a W3?

The mold still looks great, cost for cost though fiberglass would be cheaper, but strength wise, CF is best. Working with CF sucks though Pretty much cant let it touch your skin.


Edit: AH-HA! My mistake, the W6AE model does look like the older style W0's and W3's. Just took a look at my JL 2003 Book from work.
