Custom Sub Enclosure for the s2000 Trunk
November 15, 2008 12:25 pm AudioAfter looking at a lot of different options for a sub enclosure for the s, I decided on an enclosure that goes in the center of the trunk. It requires you to remove the tool tray, however the tools still fit under the enclosure, which i wrapped in a towel so they wouldn’t rattle. The fit is pretty clean and I opted to have it cut for a 10″ subwoofer since the area is only .88 cubic feet. The Pioneer subwoofer I bought says that it’s designed for .7′ to 1.3′ box so I thought it would be fine, but it sounded pretty sloppy and too small for the sub. It might be because the box is built with two chambers, so I put in about 2/3lbs of polyfil and that cleaned the sound up nicely.
I also dynamatted the cutouts in the top of the trunk to kill the rattle that the sub was making since it faces directly up.

Nice stuff! How noticeable is it with the top down (at freeway and non-freeway speeds)?

I also have an amp pushing 95 watts to the interior speakers pushing and 205 bridged watts to the subwoofer, so yeh, top down on the freeway this is still very loud and clear.

This really look clean and neat, you must get great sound from that, I like the fact that its not taking up much room.
