I recently had a friend contact me looking for a subwoofer box for his Nissan 350Z. He was just looking for something simple that would fit in the back, but after seeing the awesome Lemans Orange his car was painted I knew I had to somehow add a simple touch of paint to the box. I talked him into doing a little bit more of a custom touch, while still keeping things simple.
Since I wanted the box to somewhat match the look of the vehicle I sought to integrate some of the interior design features. The “Z” logo within the trunk of the vehicle is the first thing that caught my eye. Replicated this with some embossed vinyl. Since everything in the interior is pretty curvy I also used a roundover router bit on edges of the sub box to give it a more curvy look. Finally I also added some “divots” that are similar in nature to those found in the OEM interior on the door handles, door sill, and the bridge between the wheel wells.
In these two videos I walk through the build step by step.
