Default XK XKR (coupe) custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosures

I am still a newbie here on this forum guys. Certainly not to cars and certainly not to Jaguars. I said that to say that I hope I am putting this thread in the proper place. I thought I would share with you all what I have been working on which are enclosures for the the Xk XKR models (Couple only). I am not sure how much interest there might be for such a thing, but if there's any I do have the molds and could make them for anyone interested. Here are a few pictures of the process that I spent a couple weeks doing (although time consuming I could've been done sooner but had other stuff to do lol). Anyway, hope you guys like. Also, my subs are JL Audio 10 inch W3 models. These were the best for what I wanted to accomplish. However, if anyone else might be interested these boxes couple be made for most 8 inch and 10 inch subs from the molds I have made.

All of the photos are cell phone photos. Sorry. I will get better photos in the next photo shoot. But the sound is awesome.

Thanks. I am kind of partial to JL Audio. I have it in all of my vehicles and just have never been disappointed with it. Great sound quality. This application I have two JL Audio 10 inch W3's powered by a Mono JL Audio 500/1. They fir really well. I will have better pictures soon.

Yes, I left the rest of the system stock. I am considering upgrading the component speakers, but I don't know. It has good balance right now.

Haha right! I made them to be as recessed as possible to maintain some space. I have enough I think. I have a Range Rover for the times I need more space. Overall I like how the fitment turned out as well as the sound. Thanks

Excellent. How much would you charge me for one side of these?

That would also reserve more trunk space and still sound great. To answer the question though are you thinking with or without the subwoofer included and also would you prefer an 8 inch or 10 inch? I might also add that I can also get any subwoofer of your choice at a discounted rate.

Thanks
Eric

Yeah - I have an identical enclosure for my FRS and it sounds great.

I would like a 10 inch, I am also a wholesaler dealer.

Maybe I missed it, but how did you tie in to the factory system? Line out converter or MS8 or ?
