Hi all,

Just a few quick pics to show what can be done during a bank holiday weekend when the weather is looking pretty gash!! I was going to write up a guide to show how it was done but I felt I would just be copying this pretty much as that is the guide I used so massive thanks goes out to n_olympios over on TalkAudio as their guide was a great help.

I'm planning on doing another for the otherside in due course for the amp to be housed away neatly so I may write one up after then if people really want it as they would like to try it too but I would strongly advise reading the guide linked above as that is all I used.

I had never done anything as big as this before, I've used fibreglass for a boost gauge and iPod holder in the past but that's all the experience I have as well as a GCSE in making things so it is something I would say is achievable for most given the time and patience as I have spent a good 2 days on making it!

Anyway, here is the build so far:







I still need to find somewhere to house the bass controller and get it OEM looking and then build another box for the amp and jobs a good 'un but that's enough for today! Beer & smoke O clock now and time to enjoy the rest of the bank holiday!

I know this goes completely against the Rallye 'ethic' which is why I haven't put it in for almost 3 years but I've decided I love my music more than a few extra KGs in the back for everyday driving. It slides in and out dead easy so if I ever were to do another trackday or similar it could be easily removed in 5-10 mins.

Amp and subs in a rallye ? Tut tut

Not wanting to pi55 on your parade but you do know you can buy a sub box that fits just like that from the net ?

haha I thought it may get that reaction but as above, it's a daily drive car 99% of the time and I like my music. Can't say I noticed the difference with the weight when going for a drive afterwards and it's all easily removable to return to standard if/when desired.

I'm sure you can buy them but it wouldn't be tailored in size to my sub for the right box volume and also to fit flush mounted and that's before the cost as this cost £50 tops, maybe even £40 to make myself.

Looking good Si - you should get it in the black rallye too!!

Did you recarpet the floor to match the box there?

Ahh I see. I had one in my old car but never bothered to make the box to go with it - might try and butcher it up to go with this as I still have it.

nice sub boxes are these both custom built or can you buy a fitted one like these off the shelf?

impressive build
I made a box for my Kenwood 12" sub to correct specs for internal volume,sounds good,i just hate the weight in the back,makes the car handle a tad worse. The box,sub & amps combined weight is 17kg

Looks good, I like how the box flushes right near the back of the rear light. I hate it when I have to take my sub out, need the bass!

What's the part 2 then mate?
