Starting with the outside of the car. Only thing i have done here is to lower it by approx 60mm front and rear. Since it is equipped with original air suspension front and rear this is done by computer. And changed to silver/grey front grills and hood air intake. 20" original rims from 4.6is.

Nearly all original electric parts have been moved to other places in the car, black tanks are for the original air suspension.

This is how the enclosure is being held into place. I am using the same brackets that originally holds the rear seat

hr7mu4fxek6hg197rn6i_zps3b8fd2e7.jpg

Mounted a MDF plate that is going to be molded into the side wall of the box.

h3ognpf0excrwj20za1d_zps1a0bce37.jpg

Added a thick carpet on the backside so that the enclosure have some clearance

Adjusting the top plate to get maximum volume.

Clearance is about 3mm to the rear window. Consider that the 40mm plexi is mounted on top of this plate.dec3s4kmmxtd1dqksc6k_zps6555609d.jpg

Top plate made to hold it all on place when molding the walls.

This is where the speaker cables are going through the wall

IMG_3370_zpsca5e8571.jpg

Adjusting the size

IMG_3369_zpsf21884d6.jpg

This is 2 pcs of 3mm laser cut steel that is welded together. One with circular holes and one with hex holes. So that the cable bushings are held on one side.
