Storage Compartment Door with 8" sub built in

I could try to record the audio with my laptop or phone but I cant really think of a way to really showcase the bass.

Concerning the color, I wonder how this color would look on a light grey interior.

I tried recording a quick video on my phone. Not really sure how it will sound to you but either way in the car I think it sounds great. Also any crackling is from my phone not from the audio itself.

Thanks! It sounds pretty good in the car.

8" JBL sub woofer. All I did was cut out an opening in a piece of MDF that is the same dimensions as the carpeted door. I reused the locking mechanism (took a little bit of chiseling of the MDF) and the biscuit-type feet that hold the door in place. Nice coat of black paint and it looks OEM. The flash always washes all my pictures out; in person it is nice and uniformly black. The JBL woofer is plenty of base for this car. I turn up the volume on the Alpine head unit and mono amp mounted on my firewall, and I get a nice back massage as I go down the road!

Ignore all the wiring to nowhere in the cubby; that is the harness to the old ECU and lambda units that are no longer needed since I went full EFI & spark control.

Thats awesome! Very nicely done! I knew I couldn't be the only one who had done this.

I like that textured look.

I really think this is about the only practical place for a subwoofer. In this tiny space.

Also +1 on an 8" being plenty of bass for the car.

Nicholas,

Are you running a Craig or ASI?

I'm wondering how you powered the sub and routed signal.

As much as I like storing my fire extinguisher and emergency coolant back there, I'm starting to lean towards the sub!

My ten inch sub will have plenty of room in that little space. It's a dual voice coil model, and its shallow mount, made for installation behind the seats in a pickup truck

I'm actually running an aftermarket radio that has separate outputs for a subwoofer. Still, if I was running the Craig or ASI, I assume you would simply split the rear speakers off to run both to the speakers and to the subwoofer amplifier.
