Im after info to build an MDF wheel arch enclosure for my MK2 Golf.
Does any body have a sub enclosure that they could sketch and dimension.
I know you can buy them but i'm a cheap skate, and i know you can make them out of fiberglass, but i'm crap at that.
Any info greatfully recieved, thanks in advance. :smiley:

nows your chance to get good at f/g'ing. theres a sticky on how to do it in here. i'll be doing mine later this month as soon as it warms up a bit (too cold for f/g to set atm). fibreglassing is easy peasy...not like its structural, an with enough layers it will be plenty strong.

I assume you mean out of wood. Unless you are like a pro carpenter and have some real good tools it will be very hard to make a good job of it, would a normal self made box not do you? ( if you really cant afford the £25 to buy one, which by the way will be well worth it!)

I did see the sticky but i don't want a fiberglass one, 1. cos i'm crap with the stuff, and 2. I can only do the work outside away from where i live, not the best thing if i need to leave the car open to dry.
I assume you mean out of wood.
indeed i do, i need to keep my boot space as i need to keep the boot space as a fully usable one. I know there is a company that make arch installs, and was hoping that someone may have one.
If i can find out the dimensions of the ones already in existance i can then make my own.

fairplay, hope it all goes well!

going rate on ebay for an mdf one is about 25 smackers.

Sub enclosure size is totally dependant upon the driver you're using. Most (reputable) sub manufacturers have the recommended enclosure volume listed on their website - so that's the best place to start.
