Hey guys, I picked up a 2018 Mazda CX-9 GT for the wife after she wanted a bigger car after her Lexus. This car is GREAT! But We needed to get a little more bass in there! Since there are no prebuilt boxes made for this car, I decided to dive in and make my first fiberglass subwoofer box to save trunk space at the wife's request. This will be where I track my progress as the install goes along. The subwoofer is a shallow mount pioneer 10" with a Boss amp somewhere around 200-300w RMS. I know the amp isn't the greatest, but I can always upgrade in the future. Anyways, on to the pictures!
All masked off!
First layer of fiberglass down
2nd layer down
3rd layer down
the mold pulled out of the car - adding bracing and more layers in the next step
Added some bracing to strengthen the flat faces, this is a total of 6 layers and it doesn't flex at all with the 1.5 oz mat. the black line is a preliminary trim line
And a picture of my baby that's in the background of the other photos, for good measure!
I'll continue to update here as I make progress!
