I dropped the idea eventually because my tan interior is too, too bright maybe. Scared of round black looking anything lol. But I say this one definitely works for a black interior car

Your thread was nice to read same as it was a few months back lolll cool work!!!!

Thank you for your kind words. There must be some ways to "stealth" it out a little bit. Maybe build the same cabinet (sans black carpeting) and then build out the front with some 3/4" MDF (to the height of the speaker grille) and then cover over that (grille and all) with tan carpeting. You would only lose about another 3/4" of foot space, still have the protection of the grille in case of an overly enthusiastic passenger, and wouldn't lose much at all in the way of bass. It would look like a flat piece of carpet to the uninitiated. There just aren't very many places to hide a sub in a Boxster.

Nope, and the way you did it is possibly the only way. Looks okay mate

PS'ed some visuals at the time and that didn't convinced me, tan box, honeycomb grille painted silver.....tried a few combo. Beside I'd hate to fabricate something I not even half good at and ending having doubt in :/

Man, if only I had a black interior I wouldn't be here typing these I promise, I'd be sub and carpet shopping. Sure more than a few chap picked up your free plans already LOL kool share

Luck with hunting pix, I'd like to see more if anymore care to post also
