i thought id post a few of my 61 bug with first attempt at a custom body matched painted sealed sub box. This is a sealed fibreglass sub box i made for my Volkswagen Beetle 61 Convertible. Retrosounds Model One head unit with lots of little tricks like remote iPod dock hidden in the ash tray and USB under the dash. The subs need broke in so this is about 1/4 volume. I'm going for SQ not SPL so these were never meant to be really loud and i just didn't have enough space anyway for a large enough box to port. With the hood down the glass sits on top of the speaker rings. The box + speakers + amps and cap weigh around 120lbs so i had to add air suspension to the rear as well. Quality of sound on my phone isnt great, sorry for the distortion, in reality its crisp, clean and tight. Playing Flo Rida 'Low' and some young Jezzy in the videos at the bottom. Be gentle its my first attempt. i'm already planning 3 10s type-X replacement for these as it will give me more space. Two Alpine Type-R 12s Two Alpine Type-R 6x9 components Two Alpine Type-R 5 1/2 components (up front) Four Alpine SPX tweeters (separate) Alpine PDX 1.1000 mono amp (rated to 1240W) Alpine PDX 4.150 amp InPhase 2.4 farad Capacitor the build... This is my first attempt at a rear speaker shelf which will hold two 12 inch Alpine Type R subs (3000W) the two Alpine PDX1.1000 PDX4.100 amps and a 3 farad power cap. The box.. fiberglassed, isopon'd and sanded smooth. a couple of coats of high build primer ready to be sanded. I got some three stage paint mixed up the same as the car to match everything up perfect. lots of sound deadening, a second battery and split charge kit to be installed to run the lot. Oh and a custom built airbag system in the back to take the extra weight. I've finished spraying the speaker shelf/box. Its a three stage crystal white (same colour as the car), you can just see the pearl in it. Its not perfect but for 2 days work its not to bad. Sound proofing the car before i install the speakers and amps as the carpet has to come out first. Colour sanding the base coat really helps smooth out the look. This was done with expensive rattle cans made up by the motor factor. I would nearly tackle the car and some of its blemishes as the finish is pretty good, much better than i normally get with cans.
