With the car running and the outside looking done, it was time to turn attention to the inside. I made an 8" subwoofer enclosure out of the passenger foot rest foam chunk. I wanted something that would not intrude on passenger space and this seemed like a logical location. The end result is barely seen if you don't look for it, in fact you can't even see it when in the drivers seat.
First I added urethane foam to the area that I wanted to house the driver and after it set I shaped it to fit the 8" driver and achieve the look I wanted. Once it looked like what I wanted, I glassed it up and then hogged out all the foam to leave a fiberglass enclosure that perfectly replaces the original foam piece. Here's the roughed foam plug: Here's the enclosure after gassing and removing the foam. Before glassing I carved a 1/2" recessed area in the front section to create a flange to flush mount a piece of 1/2" MDF for an acess panel. |

I hate to admit it, but it really wasn't planned at all. I've been kinda making it up as I go. The subwoofer was an idea I've had for a couple years and was just waiting to get the car in a position where it needed it. I've had a sub in the center console and one in the passenger floor (where it was in the way of the passengers feet) and they both worked OK, but this seemed the best place to stuff one out of the way.
