Talking New!!! Perfect Fit™ Subwoofer Enclosures For The MKV - 10 & 8 Inch Models

Hey guys, want to make a quick intro and get a couple things out of the way first. We're a small custom audio shop called Audio Integrations, we design and manufacture our own line of vehicle specific subwoofer enclosures - the line is called Perfect Fit™. We have several models and are always adding new designs/models along the way, the MKV is our latest versions.

So the important stuff - Currently we are not vendors here and are not trying to sell anything so please don't pm or post up any sale questions. We've pm'ed and emailed mods/adms to find out what we need to become vendors and are waiting for their responses. This thread is intended to give ya a little more info on these new models.

Once we move forward and become vendor's we'll be offering them up for sale with a pretty good little discount. We still have a few finer details to work out and finish up our very detailed instructions.


Okay, the details and a few pics.


  • VG1006 - 10 Inch Driver's Side Mount
  • Molded Fiberglass, .75 MDF Subwoofer Mounting Ring
  • Covered In Factory Matched Carpet
  • Cascade Audio VB-1X Liquid Damping Compound Coated Back Half
  • .7 - .75 Cubic Feet Internal Airspace
  • Two Mounting Points - Super strong using factory holes already located in your vehicle
  • Mounting Instructions & All Mounting Hardware Included
  • Each Enclosure Comes With : high quality terminal cup, stuffed full of Polyfill, 3 -4 feet of high quality 12g. speaker wire
  • Life Time Warranty On Enclosure Construction!


This 10 inch model will have a black vinyl inset that mounts to the right side of the subwoofer to help flush the sub in and add a little cosmetically.










  • VG806 - 8 Inch Driver's Side Mount
  • Molded Fiberglass, .75 MDF Subwoofer Mounting Ring
  • Covered In Factory Matched Carpet
  • Cascade Audio VB-1X Liquid Damping Compound Coated Back Half
  • .39 - .41 Cubic Feet Internal Airspace
  • Two Mounting Points - Super strong using factory holes already located in your vehicle
  • Mounting Instructions & All Mounting Hardware Included
  • Each Enclosure Comes With : high quality terminal cup, stuffed full of Polyfill, 3 -4 feet of high quality 12g. speaker wire
  • Life Time Warranty On Enclosure Construction!










We will have some in car shots here hopefully shortly as we finish up our instructions. Fill free to pm or post any comments or questions you have but as I stated before please don't ask any sale questions or quotes as we're not vendors as of yet.

Thanks!

Nice. What's the mounting depth on the 10" enclosure? What's the ETA on shipping these out? Definitely need some in-car pics. How far does it stick out from the side?

The enclosures look great and seem to be constructed well. Its good to see more options coming up as I would really like a sub in my car without losing any trunk space. I will reserve my final opinion on this until we see some in car shots and of course the price. Like the JL box is great but at $700 I would not buy one. I know you are not selling until you become a vendor but could you at least give us an idea of what the MSRP is or something.

I have a 10" I wouldn't mind popping in one of these and gaining some trunk space back. I wouldn't mind at least knowing an approx. price....

yea, thats where i got the price at. the 'sale' price is between 329 and 359 for most of the models. so i figured a $299 'introductory' price would be right in the ball park. maybe as low as $279

I don't know...$300 is pushing my cumfort zone for an enclosure even though it looks very nice. One thing that appears odd to me...does the rounded part butt up to the rear seat back? I would prefer if it matched the angle of the sea back and filled out the entire side wall.

Unfortunately, Nik's side-mounts are pretty small at .4-.5 cuft and that's not going to cut it for me but this might be an option if I decide to stick with a 10" and really want to free up the hatch space currently occupied by my standard box.

i think nick made it pretty clear he will built to order, you tell him what mounting depth you want and he should be able to put it together for you.

i will admit though, these look like fine products, and the more competition there is, the better for the end consumer in my opinion.

those are some very nice looking boxes. 299 of a box like that is very fair.

Mine personally stick out less, but it does limit sub options. I may need to move into doing boxes for another car if people keep making ones this nice (although i do have the market cornered on the under the floor and jetta boxes.

I wonder if these will fit mkiv's too.

come on Polo, i need a new car to fit befre the competition does.

Also, that is a very nice match on carpet color too on those. and i like how th 8" looks recessed and has a grill

Exact mounting depth is a bit difficult to figure as the back wall isn't flat - both overall mounting depth of the sub and it's magnet diameter are needed to determine fitment.

There really wasn't much room to work with here - we know on the 10 inch version will work on the JL Audio W0, W1, W3 and we're hoping for the W6 - it's real close and the thickness varies on the glass so if the fiberglass operator adds too much in one area it may be a no go.

We still have some figuring to get it all nailed down but we'll let ya know asap.

We may be able to help out here - USPS changed their rates/policys again so It may come down to shipping box size which we're still working on.

Yeah, we're looking to see if we can get a bit of a discount from our fiberglass contractor for some early "pre" order sales or maybe a volume kinda deal. As soon as we get in nailed down and are vendor's here we'll let ya know :)

Well this is always a design aspect we battle - its a mix of getting the right airspace and creating a design/shape that isn't too difficult to reproduce. The enclosures are basically built inside out through the speaker hole - the tighter further away corners make it much harder for the glass laminator to get in there - he's basically working blind, plus glass doesn't like to lay nicely on sharp corners.

Like I say it's really a balance - a lot of times we're not able to achieve our desired look/design due to these factors. :(

Thanks for the compliments Nick - We actually started the originals/prototypes quite a while ago (beginning of the year :() but we've been super busy and it took quite a while to get them through the stages and ready for production.

To be honest with ya we actually try to stay away from markets that good people/shops have already made products for. Unfortunately there is a lot of time that goes into making the originals and then the molds and many times similar products are released without the knowledge of each other.

We're running into this with our latest 5th gen Camaro subwoofer enclosure as well. We sourced a vehicle and got a prototype built super fast to find out that a couple others have already beat us to the punch. :( I guess that's just business.

Our enclosures aren't for everybody, they do have a higher cost compared to others as they are a very high quality piece, made here in the states with quality components and extras all backed by a lifetime warranty that we stand behind.




Thanks for the comments guys, I don't want to over step without being a vendor so we really have to save any prices until we hear back from them. So far they haven't answered our emails and pm's so I guess it's just a waiting game :(

What we do know - this is our first 8 inch enclosure so no msrp has ever been figured...however it will be cheaper than the 10's

We're hoping on both models to offer them up for an introductory sale lower than anything we've done before on any other models. As I stated before these are extremely high quality with very quality components going into them as well as extras that other's don't include, and of course backed by a lifetime warranty on the enclosure construction plus a 30 day money back return policy.

So far with all of our models sold - 100% satisfaction, no returns due to unhappy purchases and no warranty work on construction. Unfortunately we have had one customer who lost his car (wreck) before he got the chance to install it...but we were happy to take it back as he no longer had a vehicle.

The 10W3 is 5.9" deep with a 5.25" diameter magnet. The 10W6 is a full inch deeper AND wider. That's tight if you are getting close with the W3. At least the W3 specs give us an idea of what else might fit.

So how much longer do you expect to need to figure out the remaining details and start these shipping?

No we're good on a W3 fitting, the W6 fit our first out of the mold test enclosure but it looked to be touching on the one side. I think it's going to be one of those pull the rubber off the magnet kinda deals to make it fit. Depth isn't the issue with the W6, it's the width of the magnet that causes the trouble.

But yeah, the W3 is all good.


Well we have a couple small things to finish up - instructions - which hopefully we'll be doing this week/weekend with an actual vehicle and some small stuff but really once somebody here pm's or emails us back with the vendor info we could narrow down the price and start a pre-order deal at least.

So if your a mod or admin please let us know what it takes to become a vendor on here.
