You have the 505 installed, let us see some pics of the bezel, I wanted to put the 505 in mine but it would not work with my surround sound processor so I went with the 205 instead. I am still working on my bezel, have a lot of sanding to do to get it that prfect shape and then paint.

X5 Box
 

I am a carpenter/just got an 04-X5. I am so glad you drop this in the forum. I will work on getting this project in progress/finished before I go to the beach on memorial weekend. Thanks a million for the spec's!

Elemental Designs custom box project..
 

So got the whole shooting match from Elemental.. the amp is kind of big so i'll have to figure something out. Big as in 12" i think.. The speaker looks sweet though. Box being built..

pics are before it goes to paint shop.. hopefully i'll be at a stereo shop next weekend installing :-D

Rasta lookin' great except one thing I noticed... the sub enclosure appears to be 3" too deep on the one side. I'm not sure you can fit it in there. Did you dry fit it? I noticed the OP never constructed this design, only measured the compartment. When I built my box, the area allowed about 5 1/2" of depth on one side and about 7 1/4" on the other. Also it appears you picked up the Elemental Designs Subwoofer 110v.2 that calls for .4 cu ft min air space, which you'll probably be ok with. However I noticed it specifies a mounting depth of 6.125" which may not fit in the upper portion of the OPs design. Couldn't help but notice this... hope I'm wrong! :confused:

you're right about the depth for the sub - they accounted for that and made sure it would fit. To be honest - i may not even put back on the door. I'm either going to get a grill and modify the cover - or make a custom cover. Is that what you mean by not fitting? If so I don't mind.

When you say 3" too deep do you mean the height should be 1'6" instead of the 1'9"?

No that length is ok, it just that the compartment is angled because of the awesome shape of our X5's. If you measure the depth of that area, the left side allows about 8" like the OP designed, however the right side allows about 5~6" of depth. I can't see how this enclosure will fit, door on or off.

Would love to know how this worked out

I ordered the x5 box from elemental designs based on dibs design and it work out nice. The box fits nicely and the sub sounds good. I will post a thread here once the installation is complete with photos.

How much did the ED custom box cost? What was the turn-around?

did this thread die?

I need to make a sub box and was wondering if the plans on first page work or not, it seems that one person said it did not fit?
