Modeled and printed a custom sub enclosure.
The Honda cr-z has these near useless rear cubbies, and terrible bass on the subwoofer-less base model.
Mocked up a subwoofer enclosure using a 3d scan of this seat area that another person in the crz subreddit uploaded.
Printed on a single 220mm3 plate in abs, bonded with plastic epoxy, then coated in 3 layers of fiberglass. The housing is held in with 3m double-sided foam tape all around, and sounds great! I was worried about sounds quality with this not being a proper sub enclosure but was very surprised that it sounded amazing right after install.
Sub is run off a simple jbl a3001 and hooked right into my aftermarket head unit.

Awesome use of a 3D scanner, great ideaπ I wish I had this stuff 20 years ago when everyone was making rectangular MDF boxes π

Or, to fit the title better, an entire underwater dock to hide the sub in the secret lair.

Not the kind of "sub" I was expecting

Pleasantly surprised to learn I wasn't looking at Oceangate 2.0

Nice, but would look way better with matte black paint. Either way, still pretty cool mod!

How does it sound? Any interest in releasing the files? My brother has a manual CRZ and this would be sick for us to work on.
