ah ok, looks easy enough, i'll make one myself. couple of questions though..

how is it mounted under the dash?

do i need to put any holes in it anywhere for the air to flow? how many? where and how big?

There's a guy on Spyderchat who makes UD sub boxes.  He seems to think  that the boxes he makes wouldn't fit a RHD '2.  However, if we had the measurements of a box that we know does fit a RHD '2, he'd probably be willing to do a GB over here.

Here's the thread over there:

That's actually a reasonable price as these things go.

oh, also, on the pics of that one in the other thread theres metal bits (look like bolts, but from the shots of the inside there's no need for them??)sticking out the sides, and 2 blue (plastic?) things on the front, what are they?

ITYM That's as big a rip-off as the commercially available ones.

You're looking at £2-3 of MDF, £0.60 for the speaker connections, £0.50 for silicone sealant, glue etc., £1 for carpeting, £1 for threaded rod, nuts etc., call it £6 total for materials.

For the price they're asking you could buy the tools as well and still be in profit.

You're correct but you're paying for the amount of time it took to get this baby to fit under the dash. I'm an engineer and Grant (who ran the GB) is a super engineer but realised the effort put in to get this right. I was willing to pay for this great design. You can say this about anything bought in the shops. I work for Kodak and you don't want to know what it really costs to produce film, photographic paper etc compared to what you pay when you order an enlargement  s:? :? s:?

You do both realise that the US ones are fibreglass, not MDF (hence the complicated shape that utilises all of the available space), right?

Still, if you want to start making them and selling them for £7 a throw, go for it - people will be grateful (though you might begrudge selling your time for £1 for Xhrs).

I don't expect them to be sold at cost but the markup on these is taking the pi$$.

Anyone producing copies of the Musical touch one has no development costs and the total development costs for the glass fibre one is a polythene bag and a can of expanding foam.

If you want to start making them and selling them for half that price, I'm sure you'd make yourself a tidy sum.
