A subwoofer is an essential part of any aftermarket stereo system. It creates the clear bass reproduction every stereo system needs. With the Camaro, there are a few places where you can mount a subwoofer, but the sporty shape of the body makes it difficult to find a box that will fit. You can build a custom box that fits the space and the speaker perfectly using only a few basic tools and some basic materials.
Measure the space in which you want to mount the box. Common places in the Camaro are behind the front seats and in the trunk.
Measure the sub you have chosen. Add two inches to the diameter and to the depth to calculate the minimum enclosure size. Calculate the volume by subtracting twice the width of the MDF from each dimension and multiplying the length by the width by the height. Compare this volume with the recommended volume suggested by the manufacturer in the documentation that came with the sub.
Adjust the dimensions until you have a box that satisfies the manufacturer's recommendations and will fit within the space you have selected in your Camaro.
Cut the pieces of the enclosure from MDF. Cut two pieces for the front and draw the outline of the subwoofer on both. Drill a hole in the middle of the material you need to remove, put the jigsaw through the hole and cut out a space for the subwoofer. Create a hole in the back panel for the terminal cup using the same method.
Assemble the box using the wood glue and screws to secure the sides together. Screw the large sides into the short sides for the most strength. Caulk the inside of all the joints with the silicon caulk for extra strength and to seal the enclosure.
Mount the terminal cup in the rear panel and secure it in place with screws. Attach the speaker wires to the terminals on the inside of the terminal cup, then run it through the box to the subwoofer. Attach the wires to the terminals on the rear of the sub and put the sub in place and secure it with the screws.
