8" Sub Enclosure

Just out of interest, is there anyone here that does fibreglass builds. What would it cost to have something like this manufactured locally (in SA):

I'm still a few months away from doing a decent sound upgrade, but ideally looking at installing an 8" sub in the boot. However, it needs to be completely removable option. The other alternative is to have the enclosure built to sit inside the spare wheel, but that limits overall sub options (as the boot liner still needs to go over it and this reduces sub depth options).

Very interesting!

When installing, does it require any wire cutting/splitting?

Thanks

Yes.

I have the standard Toyota TAS300 head unit. I pulled it out to check for RCA and it does not have them. Hence, you would need to tap into the speaker wires. However, in my case, I'm going to install splits in the front as well, so I'm going to tap them from the front speaker inputs, which I need to disconnect either way.

Ok cool

I just got the car, so I don't want to do anything that will give Toyota excuse to void my warranties.

But thanks, would be great if you could do a DIY thread for this.
