Wink custom sub box

I was wondering if anybody took one of there cubby holes and made it into a sub box. And if they did how they did it and if it turned out nice or not.

I've heard sound quality isn't very good in the cubby hole. You can make a box there but a 10" woofer is the very maximum i think you could do in those cubby holes, just cause the amount of air space and diameter. Probably 8" tho.

Here is my box 2 12" woofers. I've heard that positioning the woofers up so hey hit the rear hatch gives good sound quality. The same idea Mazda had in mind for the stock rear speakers.

I made it out of 3/8 Acrylic.

Although I applaud the workmanship in the fact you made it yourself, I WOULD say it looks crappy, except that it's covering up maroon interior...

bet the 3/8 acrylic flexs alot compared to 3/4 mdf bet that person that told u the woofers firing up sounds better... i bet thats his car every car sounds diffrent but for the most part look at cadalilacs or hatchbacks most of the times the speakers are facing backwards with a foot or 2 of space between the speakers and the back of the the car this is done to make the sound wave travil further making it play deeper (thats y the bigger the car or a van will pound harder then a small car and it helps make all the waves travil in one direction like corner loading a sub but the only true way to find out what sounds better is to try out diffrent postions and not by what some one tells u
