Glovebox/Subbox?

[DRTSRFR]

So far I only have a couple of hours into it. I'm not planning on a big thumper, just something for a little base fill in the 'vert. The tricky part is going to be the upper part of the enclosure. I took out the plastic that hides the ecu, closed up a non modified glovebox, and used expanding foam in a bag to get the dimensions for the top.

I think too much work, but go for it. Looks like a fun project. I'd be worried about vibration, though.

They said it couldn't be done...

But I'm doin it.

This is in the rough sand stage, it should be roughly .5cf when it's complete.

Yes, I know it looks rough. It's nowhere near complete. I have a ton of sanding to do then sculpt the handle pocket.

I've built many boxes and enjoy bodywork. This is the first time doing fleece and glass. It's been a very interesting learning experience to say the least. I'm not one to take on simple projects, I just jump in and tread water 'till I figure it out.

It'll be covered in leather when it's done.

This will house a shallow 8, and yes, I'm going to remove the material under the sub.

Hey guys, I have a bit of experience with car audio, building competition systems, custom fiberglass enclosures, and whatnot but I've been out of it for a number of years. I recently picked up this e30 and would like to add a little sound but really want to keep the system small and simple. I have a tendency to get carried away with this sort of thing. I've been playing around with the idea of glassing in the glove box to make a small sub enclosure. With a bit of modifying it looks like I can get about .4cuft which should work well for an 8in sub. The latch would need to be reinforced I imagine.

It seems like a good way to keep the sound up front and not lose much trunk space. What do you guys think? Too much work for an 8? I used to prefer 12's but I'm not 20 anymore and figure I can live without those last few Hz and Db's these days.
