Mk5 Stealth subwoofer enclosure

[Jarre]

Hi,

I recently purchased a subwoofer enclosure suitable for mk5/6 on the passenger side wheel arch.

I believe it requires a 'slight modification to the boot carpet' to fit, is anyone able to advise what this is or link me to somewhere that explains it? I can't find any instructions at all.

Cheers!

i got one in mine but a fibre glass one and it was a perfect fit

[Jarre]

Are you able to provide me with a link? I may have to purchase another one. Are you able to tell me how you have secured yours in place? Chsers

I have the same box it was a PITA to fit.

I cut off the car seat tether. Drilled some holes in the box and used cable ties to secure it in place. Sealed the holes with silicone. But it still did not fit well.

Looks more like I might be better with another alternative then...

it's from the same company as in your link

[Jarre]

Thanks for that, I will look into it!

May well be another case of buy cheap buy twice...

[Jarre]

Well, I decided to buy an enclosure from visual ice, the quality is excellent, I'm really impressed! Fitting is so much better than the cheaper one, too.

My amp is under the passenger seat leaving the boot looking tidy :)

Off topic slightly, where are you guys taking your ignition live from for the remote wire, Dazza mentioned a fuse box job but is there any other, behind the stereo perhaps?

Mine is on the interior fuse box using a piggy back/ add a circuit fuse holder. That's the safest way to do it. See link below (may not be the cheapest price)

yep that's what dazza recommended. Can you show me which fuse you used? I assume its the fuse box in the drivers side dash.

[Jarre]

Yeah the drivers side fuse box. The one I used was fuse number 2

That is perfect thanks!
