Custom sub woofer enclosures for Discovery - 5/30/2007 4:51:59 PM

I've been working on this project off and on for about 6 months.  I am finally getting to a point where I see light at the end of the tunnel and I want to peddle my wears to my fellow Discovery enthisiasts.

Not wanting to put a big, generic, two sub box behind the rear seats.  You know, whe ones that leave no room to carry things.  So I set out to make custom sub enclosures to mount where the left and right jumpseats would be in the back of my LR DII.  Wanting a very stealth and factory looking fit and finish I decided to go with moulded fiberglass.  I must say, Im pretty excited about the way they are turning out.  The first set did not look good when they got back from paint.  So I am in the process of pulling more and I should have complete boxes, left and right, ready for paint next week.  Unfortunately you cant paint fiberglass until it cures for about a week to ten days.  I will post some pictures of the face with an 8" sub and grill before mating with the back half of enclosure and obviously before paint.  I also have moulds for 8", 10", and 12" subs. 

Features include:

Acoustic suspension design (sealed enclosure)
1.2 cubic feet of internal air space
Appropriate mounting diameter (8, 10, or 12)
Same dimensions as stock cargo compartment 
Fits  most 8", 10", or 12" subs
ΒΌ fiberglass Construction with 3/8" MDF wood mounting ring
Texture and color matching paint (please specify sand or dark charcoal)
Color matched, removable speaker grill
You can still use your trunk mat and cargo cover
 Recessed, pre-installed, gold plated speaker binding posts 
Takes only a few minutes to remove from truck
13 lbs. (net weight)
One year warranty
$299 each + shipping with matching texture, paint and a factory style grill

    Send me a PM if you have any questions.

    I have rear A/C - will it mount in front of it, where a jump seat would go (driver's side)?
    I don't want to lose my storage compartment on the other side, so mounting it on the passenger side won't work.

    Im not familiar with the rear air location.  I designed these to fit into the jumpseat cutouts.  If the rear air does not alter or occupy any of the standard "jumpseat" space, then this will work.  If you look at the third picture above, that is an actual LH (driverside) enclosure fitted into a Land Rover Discovery side panel (removed from the truck of course).  They will utilize the customers factory lid (not shown in the pictures) for the storage spaces and there is about 4inches from the top of the enclosure to the bottom of the lid, so there is still a little storage space. The left side of the picture is the rear of the truck and the right side is toward the front of the truck.

    I have made both sides, and actually thought people would be more interested in the RH side for ease of wiring.

    Out of curiosity, could you snap a few pics of the rear air so I can see where and how it is routed?

    Looks like if your DII has rear air my driver side (Left) enclosure will not work.  The interior storage area has been shallowed to accomodate the A/C.  However, the passenger side (Right) appears to be the same as non-rear A/C DIIs and my passenger side enclosure should fit as advertised.

    I have attached a couple of pictures of a painted driver side (LH) enclosure mounted in the truck. 

    Thank you all for your inquiries, and feel free to PM me or email sales@landroverenclosures.com
