For that factory look, Hohenstein didn't want to encroach upon the vehicle's cabin space. But, he still wanted to place four 10" Soundstream T-4 subs in the cabin. The answer was fitting the ported enclosures in the rear quarter panels. "I didn't want a real boomy sound from four 10s," Hohenstein reveals, "so each enclosure is about 1.5ft3 net ... [which] is half of what Soundstream advises." Another choice was making everything removable: "I didn't want to just start fiberglassing a box into my car," he says. Each 0.75" thick enclosure was built by making two halves that he patched together with fiberglass. A trim panel then wraps around the B-pillar, C-pillar, seats and windows. The subs hold this panel down and red suede trim covers their mounting screws. "Looking at the port you will see another trim that is silver," Hohenstein adds. "That piece serves as a form of aperiodic dampening material to help flatten out the response of the woofers." View Related Article
