Building a custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure for an Infiniti Q50 (part 1)

In this video, I am outlining the plan and starting the process for a fiberglass corner mount sub enclosure. This is my first attempt at building an enclosure like this so it is a learning process, to say the least.

GREAT video,you explained what you were doing as you did it.This video really help me keep my sound and trunk space.

[@Foxcraze]

çharles moore jr my main purpose was to make its explainable and show an end state. I’m glad it was helpful for you!!

[@asherjones1]

Thanks i bought a 12 inch sub for my truck and this is helpful

[@Foxcraze]

Glad it was useful for you!

[@csmers3743]

Awesome vids!! Great work !! I just watched all of your vids from the sub encloosure to the wood floor and wow it looks professionally done. Best I've seen on youtube thus far. Gave me the confidence to knock this out on my IS350.. Subbed 👍🏽

[@Foxcraze]

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I do this stuff because I want to show regular people that they can do anything on their own with patience and practice!! I hope you project comes out killer! Follow me on IG:_foxcraze so I can see you results!!

Great video mate

[@Foxcraze]

Jon Pearson, Thank You its much appreciated.

[@ronjlwhite8058]

Good start so far...on to vid 2 i go.

[@hi-fye7365]

nice job man!!!

[@Foxcraze]

Thank you!

[@AccessoriesZone]

Really i appreciate

[@Foxcraze]

No problem, a lot more fiberglass videos coming in the future so stay tuned!

[@joestack78]

No need for the MDF base board, and if you would have used non-stick spray before adding the fibre, it makes the release much easier.

[@Foxcraze]

Thanks for the tips! This was basically the first time making a box like this so I figured the mdf would be a good solid base. Good to know for next time!!

[@EazyBuildz]

How long was the wood cut from front to back of trunk ? The long side of the piece you made Thanks

[@Foxcraze]

This was originally done in 2019 so I’m not certain how long it was I made the template using the factory carpet and just cut it the full length of the carpet and trimmed to fit.

[@EazyBuildz]

Very clean. Nice work thinking of doing this.

[@Foxcraze]

Do it for sure, it’s really not that bad!

[@MuhButtsBeenWiped]

You should sell these. Id buy one for sure..

[@Foxcraze]

I have thought about it but the shipping cost due to how heavy these are would kill any profit due to the man hours spent making them.

[@ricardojean9009]

Nice job. Do u ever think about doing it for other people?

[@Foxcraze]

I have thought about it but shipping something this big would be a buzz kill. If it were a local build it would be easier and more doable.

[@ricardojean9009]

@@Foxcraze Hi thank you for responding. I own Q50 and I'm building the Q50 and I need something like this. I wanted to know if you can build me two of them for each side for 12" inch subwoofers and I'm willing to pay for delivery.

[@lucsmith3953]

How much did just the fiberglass box cost you to make in total?

[@Foxcraze]

Right around $150!

[@gijimbo1337]

@@Foxcraze Good to know. It'd be cool to see links to the materials you used. Also a list of things (if anything) you'd do differently if you could do it again.

[@Foxcraze]

I will update the description this weekend with the main items I used or showed in the video breakdown.

[@miltonbarrera2891]

where can a find the pink stuff bro ?

[@Foxcraze]

That is a standard stretch craft fleece. Comes in dozens of colors and prints and can be found at Walmart crafts, Hobby lobby, or Joann’s crafts.

[@miltonbarrera2891]

@@Foxcraze thanks for your reply.

[@stevenhunt1594]

To me it look like a kia amanti trunk

[@dmetrious7882]

I will not judge you,,, 😂😂😂 how do you like it so far, how does it sound in comparison to a wood box. I am doing a fiberglass custom for my car now.

[@Foxcraze]

Demetrious Woods haha, well thanks I appreciate it!! The enclosure sounds really good for it being a sealed deal. The tone is solid and over all I’m really happy with the end product. Hopefully after watching the series you will like the result too! Good luck building yours, it’s def a time consuming process but well worth it.

[@t0a0w]

@@Foxcraze I actually build alot of boxes just trying to help you out

[@Foxcraze]

I appreciate all the feedback left. it will only make me better!

[@jdde013]

Next time wear a respirator. Nasty shit there.

[@Foxcraze]

Will do man!

[@t0a0w]

nice work . to save yourself a hassle you could have fiberglass right off the tape and not used a MDF flooring and not had to measure. just make sure you have at least 4 good layers so its stiff. so in a nutshell you could have done the floor of the box and the side at the same

[@Foxcraze]

Yeah, unfortunately it was already mounted to the wood before l realized that I did more work than I needed haha. It was a learning process for sure. Thanks for watching and the feedback!! This won’t be the last one I build that’s for sure!

[@t0a0w]

@@Foxcraze it definitely is . when you glass the front make sure you have a lil fold over so it won't separate like it did . I'm not trying to bash on your video just trying to help. oh when you wanted to fill he lol imperfections spotting putty is your best friend

[@Foxcraze]

It’s all good man, I appreciate the feedback!!

[@surround1969]

It is better to talk while work

[@Foxcraze]

I like explaining what I am doing in videos but sadly It’s a never ending battle when making content for youtube. So many people like so many different things. You will have people say stuff like: no need for all the talking, just put the work to music, put music in during the lapses, play music the whole time. I appreciate everyones feedback though and try to cater my content to everyones liking the best I can.

[@anonomous33]

That mask is a dust mask. Offer no protection to fumes

[@Foxcraze]

True however the particles from sanding were my main concern.

[@surround1969]

Work more than talk, that will be useful for your Chanel

[@Foxcraze]

Appreciate the feedback. I feel like I have been working on that in other videos since this video was published. Do you have any other recommendations?

[@sethrice8123]

Not insulting the creator of this video but if you ever have someone doing work for you and they say “it is what it is” find someone else to do the work for you or do it yourself.

[@Foxcraze]

Well since I built this enclosure myself for my own vehicle, I don’t see the relevance of your comment since I don’t provide this as a service to other people. Unless you were just speaking generalities in which point I agree completely.

Installing an entry level sub and amp into an Infiniti Q60😂

[@Foxcraze]

It’s a 2014 Q50 and isn’t an expensive or special car by any means… I didn’t need to buy anything beyond “entry level” to get better quality over what the factory installed Bose amp and sub produced. That said, I got exactly what I was wanting out of my setup. Thanks for stopping by!
