Wheel arch build
« on: 22 March 2008, 18:29 »
Well, after hours messing about in the garage I've finally finished the wheel arch sub box. Sounds good as well :cool:

I was fed up of having a sub box bouncing about in the back of the car and having no room to put stuff, so I went to my local audio fitter who wanted my left arm and right leg to build a custom fibre glass build into the wheel arch. Although I could have coughed up I thought it was an ideal project for me to get stuck into and now I'm glad I did. I've taken dozens of photo's as I know that some will want to have a go themselves, but I'll put that in my project thread (when I have a spare couple of hours :shocked:)

Here are a couple of pics of the finished build - let me know what you think! :smiley:
