Custom in North Bay
Lavigne's Car Audio is the North Bay, Ontario shop that fabricates custom subwoofer enclosures, speaker pods, mounting panels and brackets, and finishes them to look factory-installed, for cars, trucks, boats, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and motorcycles, at 102 Booth Rd #2. When the part that fits does not exist, Lavigne's builds it.
Most audio shops stop at what comes in a box. Lavigne's Car Audio has a fabrication bench and, on the other side of the wall, a canvas and upholstery crew. That is why a speaker pod on a pontoon can be cut, built, wrapped in marine vinyl with diamond stitching and installed by one shop, and why a subwoofer can go under a truck seat that was never meant to hold one.
The Lavigne touch, in one part
The fabrication side of Lavigne's Car Audio cuts, builds and seals the enclosure or pod. The Lavigne's Canvas side upholsters it in marine vinyl or carpet to match the seats it sits beside. The pod in the photo left this building as one piece, built around the speaker, the grille and a hinged hatch, and it looks like the boat came with it.
What it costs
No two builds are the same, so every one is quoted. What moves the number:
Send the vehicle or boat, the speaker or subwoofer, and where it has to go, and Lavigne's Car Audio will quote the build and the install. Financing is available through Financeit.
Which one
Three ways to put a speaker or subwoofer where there was no place for one.
| Build | What changes | What you notice | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefab enclosure | A mass-produced box in a standard size. | Takes up trunk space, rarely matches the sub's spec, slides around. | A quick, budget sub in a car with room to spare. |
| Custom enclosure | Built to the subwoofer's volume and port spec and to the exact space. | Tighter, louder bass from a box that fits where a prefab cannot, and stays put. | Trucks, small cars and anyone who wants the sub out of the way. |
| Custom pod with upholstery | An enclosure or speaker housing built, then wrapped in vinyl or carpet to match. | A piece that looks like it came from the factory or the boat builder. | Boats, premium interiors and powersports builds. |
| Where it goes | What usually gets built | The constraint | Lavigne's note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Truck | An under-seat or behind-seat subwoofer enclosure. | A few inches of height and an odd shape. | Built to the cab, so the seat still folds. |
| Car | A trunk-corner enclosure, a custom baffle or an amp rack. | Keeping the trunk usable. | Finished in carpet to disappear into the trunk. |
| Boat | Speaker pods, a subwoofer in a bench, a console panel. | Water, vibration and matching the upholstery. | Upholstered by the canvas crew in the same building. |
| Powersports | Speaker panels, sound bar mounts, a sub in a tunnel or a bed. | Room, weather and a rough ride. | Mounted and sealed to survive the trail and the winter. |
The Lavigne touch
From a tape measure to a finished piece that fits the first time.
Lavigne's Car Audio measures the exact space in the vehicle or boat and checks the subwoofer or speaker's spec, so the build is sized to both.
The enclosure volume, port and shape are worked out for the driver, and the mounting, wiring path and finish are planned before anything is cut.
The piece is cut and assembled on the bench, braced where it needs it and sealed so the box works the way it was designed.
Carpet, marine vinyl with stitching, or a painted or textured surface, matched to the interior or the boat by the crew that does the canvas.
The finished piece is mounted, the wiring is hidden and fused, and the system is set up and tuned before the keys come back.
Off the bench
Four Lavigne's builds from North Bay: a carpeted subwoofer enclosure in a trunk, a custom panel cut for a speaker on a powersports body, a speaker set into a custom-built panel, and a side-by-side audio build.
A custom subwoofer enclosure from Lavigne's Car Audio in North Bay is quoted by the job in 2026, with the price set by the subwoofer it is built for, the space it has to fit, whether it is sealed or ported, and the finish.
A carpeted trunk enclosure built to one sub's spec is the simplest build. An under-seat truck enclosure or a vinyl-upholstered boat pod takes more design and more finishing. Send the vehicle, the sub and the space and Lavigne's comes back with the build and the installed price.
A prefab enclosure is a standard-size box that may not match the subwoofer's recommended volume or fit the space; a custom enclosure from Lavigne's Car Audio is built to the sub's spec and to the exact space, so it sounds the way the sub was designed to and fits where a prefab cannot.
The difference shows most in trucks and small cars, where the only room is under a seat or in a corner of the trunk, and in boats, where the box also has to be sealed and finished to live outdoors.
Lavigne's Car Audio fabricates custom enclosures, pods, panels and mounts at 102 Booth Rd #2 in North Bay, Ontario, for owners from Sturgeon Falls, Mattawa, Callander, Powassan and Burk's Falls through to Temagami and New Liskeard.

Questions, answered
Yes. Every custom enclosure Lavigne's Car Audio builds is sized to the subwoofer's recommended volume and, for a ported box, its port spec, so the sub performs the way its maker intended instead of the way a standard box allows.
Usually, yes. Under-seat enclosures are one of the most common custom builds at Lavigne's Car Audio. The box is shaped to the cab so the seat still folds and the floor stays usable, and the size of sub it can hold depends on the truck.
Yes. Lavigne's Car Audio shares its building with Lavigne's Canvas Co., so a pod, panel or enclosure can be wrapped in marine vinyl, carpet or a matching material with stitching by the same crew that does boat upholstery.
Yes. Marine and powersports builds are a core part of the fabrication work: speaker pods and benches on boats, speaker panels and sound bar mounts on side-by-sides and ATVs, and mounts built to take vibration, weather and a Northern Ontario winter.
Yes. When a speaker does not match the factory opening, Lavigne's Car Audio makes an adapter plate or a custom baffle so the new speaker mounts solidly and the panel goes back on cleanly, with no cutting that shows.
