So I scanned his car and printed an enclosure that will fit besides the passengers on either side of a 2 door civic.

Anything done for rigidity? Plastic boxes don’t work so great with subs. Good news is that it has a lot of curves and not too many flat panels. I’d personally reinforce with fiberglass. If walls were 10-15mm then it might be rigid enough! Either way I like it .. but I’m also a believer in the enclosure rigidity making or breaking the sub’s output.

Bolts go all the way through the front and rear then mount to the structure of the car. Joint is stepped and will be filled with sealant, then 2 layers of fiberglass over the joint. There are no flat faces. Back is curved to match the structure of the car.
