As a few of us have been discussing, I'm installing a 8" sub in the 6x9 location. You can click on each picture to see a larger version.
Since I have an Forester X, the location started off with a pocket:
Behind the pocket was foam that I had to cut out. It could possibly be used as a fiberglass mold in the future...
The empty location with measurements-
First I cut out MDF to help fill the spaces.
Next I sealed the entire location using adhesive metal silicone, spray foam and RAAMmat.
Now create a speaker baffle- (Pic from Tre36's Forester)
mounted the baffle with sheetmetal screws and I sealed it up with RAAMmat.
Then I covered the area with Ensolite-
Next I mounted a JL Audio 8w6-
My wife even helped out a bit with a grill. Since the F-X does not have a speaker grill like the FXT we had to make one.
Tan grill cloth and a $2 vent from Home Depot. The grill is much bigger than the opening, but it will mount to the trim piece from behind the upholstery.
All finished!!!
