We are winding up doing an 8W0 in the front passenger footwell, angled off the tunnel. Wil have pics this weekend.

What is a reasonable price for this type of enclosure? Guesstamate?

Well....as for pricing, it really depends on how flexible and ambitious your local audio shop is. This is complete custom work, involving cutting, fabricating, and fiberglassing. As a guestimate I'd put it at somewhere around $250 from a good shape, obviously plus the cost of materials and equipment.

If anyone is close enough to Rochester NY I'd be happy to bring you down to the shop here for some top notch work.

Will post pics on Saturday.

Sub install is done and is absolutely GORGEOUS. Will have pics later today when I go get the car. We have a JL 8W0 in the left hand corner of the passenger footwell. Fully fiberglassed enclosure to gain as much cubic enclosure volume and to fit perfectly. The enclosure is countoured to look factory and retain good airflow off the floor heater vents.

We are setting up to do a run of these, I will start a new thread with pictures and pricing either later today or tomorrow. These will be sold loaded with the JL 8WO-4.

Can't wait to see how it came out... I know I'd still like to get a woofer in that little box in the footwell that was left by my car's PO.

Maybe later this year... I need the cashflow to pick back up after so much vacation and sick time last month.
