Middle - All stripped down whilst parts were at bodyshop

Shouldnt be too long now, have got 6 layers of matting on the sub box and the door pod needs tidying up a little and preping. I havent started the 2nd door pod yet but they dont really take too long to sort out.
I got all my parts back from the bodyshop earlier, most have been fitted but I...
Dink - Ive got 300w rms going to the sub
Just got back from the bodyshop, everything was ready a day early :D Will give it a wash and get some pics up tomorrow
Yea the main thing to focus on is getting the volume of the box right, the shape of the boxes will only really make a difference in really high end installs. Im in the process of getting some kick pods sorted for my components too, will get some progress pics of those up tomorrow hopefully...
Its got no front or rear bumper, bump strips, rear spoiler, door mirror covers, front grill or boot lock. Had to strip them all down to take to the bodyshop. The inside is mostly stripped too atm. Should be back in 1 piece Wednesday.
If you reverse mount like I have then you need to reverse the +ve and -ve so that the sub moves in the same direction as the other speakers. Apparently, the quality should be better when mounted with the magnet inside the box, but when I reverse mounted it I couldnt tell any difference. AFAIK...
Cheers guys, its really not that difficult. The hardest part is building the foundations of the shape, not actually fibreglassing them. Will get more pics up later in the week.
Cheers folks. Ive gotta week off so I want to get as much done as possible. The volume of the box is pretty difficult to figure out when its an odd shape. I had to split different sections up to get an idea of the volume. Worked it out to be around 1.8ft^3. The sub needs 1-2.5ft^3.
Dan, the...
Here are a couple of pics of the fibreglass install Im doing.

Not sure yet, will have to judge as I go along. Got 3 on so far and it is pretty tough but def wouldnt hold up to the vibrations of my sub. Prob go for about 8ish.

Yeah looks good mate, wht sub is goona go in there and wht vol will the final box be ?
After a quick calculation, the vol should be approx 1.8ft^3 which is just about right for the sub.
Yep its definately the expensive way to go, I wasnt exactly sure how much I would need as Id never done it before, but I will be making a purchase off CFS later.
Ive got a Phoenix Gold Xenon X12D4 going in. Ive got to find the required dimensions off the Phoenix Gold site. I can just changed the height of the box depending on the required volume.
Here are a few pics of what I have done so far >
