We have been doing stereo systems in the NSX for quite a few years. Starting with our dash panel designs and innovations we have now decided to address one area that always seems to be the achilles heel for the NSX - the subwoofer option.
In the past you pretty much have to give up huge amounts of leg room to make it work. The footwell option has many disadvantages but up to this point there was really no other option.
***************
Step into 2017 and we decided to tackle this project head on! Not sure if you guys have removed the rear center bulkhead piece but we were surprised when we removed it to see there isn't much space back there. What looks like a small enclosure is actually a cover for some electronics and other parts that are mounted to the rear bulkhead.
Our goal for this project is to build a totally self-contained subwoofer box that does not require any cutting or modifications to your car. We wanted a turn-key box that can simply be swapped in place of your stock panel. To do this means we need to make both the front and back halves of the box but work around the stock electronics and wiring. Since there isn't much space to begin with we tried to maximize the cubic space but using fiberglass to build the box for maximum efficiency, space and strength.
Sure we could have re-located OEM wiring to create more space but the idea here is the average NSX owner does not want to modify their car to install a sub box so we worked around the factory parts.
The box is configured specifically for a JL Audio 6W3 woofer so that cannot be changed but the owner can chose the final finish of the box in various materials:
a) Rich Leather
b) Alcantara
c) Carbon Fiber
Each box will be built to order so if you want one please PM us. This is a very labor intensive job and we will only build them for orders that have been paid for so don't expect to see this as a walk-in product.
Questions please ask first via email or PM!

here's a picture of the back firewall with all the panels removed:
Our goal is to have this woofer fire upwards at an angle to get the best sound possible. We did not want to modify the seats so the woofer had to fit between the seats. We decided to use a JL Audio 6W3 woofer for their legendary performance in a very small space:
For the woofer we strengthened the area where it's mounted with MDF and built a support brace all around it (this is only the prelim photo as the plan was to recess mount the final woofer for a clean look)
here you can see the back of the box taking shape - as you can tell it's most definitely NOT flat and has to be shaped around protruding parts:
Box taking shape:
Each box is hand-made so this one is getting final sanding to smooth out all surfaces to prep for either paint, leather, Alcantara or carbon fiber finishes:
For this specific customer we went with black leather and black stitching:
Some finished product installs, click on this link below to see a short video clip - check out the woofer excursion and if you are ever visiting the SF bay area, give us a call and we can schedule an appt for you to hear this actual woofer in our demo NSX!
Just be warned once you hear this you will want to buy one too :big grin:
