Speaker box for a VW powered '53 MG kit car


Recommended Posts

Posted

This is a WIP,

I've been building fiberglass boxes for a couple years now, mainly for old school pre-'79 VW beetles for a VW club I belong to.

This was my very first fiberglass enclosure..this one I used t-shirt material, now I use fleece

This is a speaker box build for someone with a MG kit car who wanted the head unit incorperated on the box (he did not want to cut into the wood dash) He saw the Gold box that I did for another member and liked it alot, he wanted a 10" VW speaker grill and something showing MG-TD on the top of the box also.

Here's a good reason why not to watch an Austin Powers movie right before doing an artsy painting - Yeah Baby.

Yes, that is a diamond plate vw subwoofer grill that was cut with a waterjet. It was sand blasted because the customer wanted it painted yellow (I would have just kept it chrome or maybe a shiny gold but that's me).

Ok pretty much done, using this Pioneer head unit because it has a built in adjustable high pass crossover for front speaker output. Also fitted a small rubber whip antenna and a 1,000 watt amp to backside of box for the sub.

(I'm really not much for the yellow grill but that's what the owner wanted)
