yea i built them, took like 3 days. A lot of angels and cuts. I wanted as much space as possible in the trunk and have them removable for the spare. I saw people put the amp under the trunk lid. Maybe one day i'll do that and cut out a hole and put in plexiglass with a couple of fans.

Ha my sub enclosure looks nowhere near as good as urs... I love urs ALOT more (no fiberglassing for 1) I am prolly gonna try it out if u dont mind me stealing ur idea lol. I just wish I had measurements of each piece. Would make life alot easier . How does it sound tho? Not much air space... If I do it Ill prolly extent it just a tad more for the air space.

yea i recomend you extend it, would be better sound. Nah i stole this idea from a sony show car sorta. Both boxes arent the same size 2, notice how one side on the trunk is more shallow. Extend it towards the seats 2, it was too much work for me to do and didnt think it was worth it. Also get that sound insulation crap, my taillight vibrate like crazy with the trunk closed. Personaly i think the sound it good, i plan to still hear when im 40, i dont need a system that makes your hair stick up.

Nice boxes... I just upgraded my factory bazooka sub enclosure with a new sub and bigger amp, welll that was months ago. Now I'm ready to make another box to fit one more 10"! I will probably do something like yours... I'll change mine up so as not to copy ur ideas...
But nice job!

What kind of wood did you use? I heard fiberboard(particle board is the best) I just need to find it. And I want to get some of that thin black carpet type stuff to cover mine.! I'll keep yall updated when I attempt this!

i didnt calculate anything, just throw is together with a bunch of paper templates. I used some partical board from Lowes. Would of been easier wit a softer wood the pros use. I didnt put that black grayish carpet cuz everyone puts that in and it wouldnt look custom

Thanks dude, haha I work at Lowes. Well only for two weeks now and I haven't had time to see if they had the wood I needed. You think Lowes has the black carpet stuff though? I will check tomorrow I guess... I just want mine to match my other stuff. It will be custom enough for me!
