new sub enclosure

well i finally finished my sub enclosure for my s13 fastback, i wanted to retain the spare tire and useable space in my trunk as well as keep the weight down and keep it all looking as factory as possible, here is the pic of it, i wish i would have taken pictures of the build process, but i totally spaced it while i was in the zone of fabrication

Congratulations. That's one of the nicest installs I've seen in awhile for our cars. Great "OEM" finish. You should market those enclosures.

i think ud be able to sell 10-15 of these on the various forums. Depending on coupe or fastback, sub size, and sub mounting depth. in a coupe i think ud only be able to fit a 10" unless it was angled with a smaller mounting depth u might be able to get away with a 12"

If you produced a clean enclosure that could be installed with out modification i think u might be able to get about $100-150 bucks depending on quality and fitment, just because it looks nice on the visual side people will be picky if the backside dosent look clean. So you would have to figure out how you would combing fiberglass, wood and whatever materials that you used, also having it fit like the one you made people will expect the same
