... and it sounds like in your situation you haven't...
I have detailed instructions on how to make a fiberglass encloser if anyone needs it...
darkknight1999,

Yes, this will be my first fiberglass project but I'm determined to succeed. If you have detailed instructions, I (and probably others on this forum) would be very happy to see them.

Thanks for your input.

"The only negative comments I have read are as follows (from people who have not heard them):
*A 6.5" speaker is not a subwoofer, it is a woofer. Dude, you need a 12 or 15" sub to hit low...(Mostly from guys in Camaros.) Fact: That's a myth. The frequency a speaker delivers has more to do with speaker design than to do with diameter (to a point, of course...).

*Well, no way a 6.5" sub would be loud enough
Fact 1: This could be true, depending on your needs. To make a lot of noise you need a lot of "piston" area (and displacement volume) to essentially move a lot of air. But better bass can often be achieved with a single or multiple, tight, smaller subwoofers than a single sloppy giant sub.
Fact 2: A trunk sub (or subS) needs to be loud to be heard inside the cabin. A sub in your lap does not need to be as loud as a sub in your trunk.
Fact 3: Musicality and loudness are different things entirely. If you are into sound-offs, you might take a different approach."


I can attest to this. I use the Focal 5kx subs flush mounted in my floorboards on driver and passenger side of my competition car (not in an S2000, check signature).

There is nothing like upfront bass!!!!

By the way, great job!! Very innovative use of space.
