eh depends on how much power and what sub you've got. my box is half inch and i pound the hell out of it regularly and no problems. yeah 3/4 is much better but with such a small space you cant much use it unless you want like .45 airspace which is nothing.

My apologies to all you have read this with amazement of the mounting depth. Initial I wrote that the enclosure had a mounting depth of 6.5" which was the wrong measurement. It is actually only 5.25" in the photos there. I have a new design that has a 6" depth and increased volume.

Someone needs to do something for the xA.
This is to free your trunk space up... and I don't know any vehicle in the Scion line that needs that more than the xA
It looks too deep to fit in my car.

yeah your, right. Next time I see and xA at a club meet i'll take measurements and see what we can come up with. I know the space below the seat is smaller but we'll see.

Nice work on the box. I mounted my amp under the passenger seat. Where is your amp located?

I sent you a PM nick, basically I am trying to fit 2 8" side by side under each seat for a total of 4 8's.


I think I have it figured out but I do not trust my woodwork.

Can you take a look and see if it can be done and hit me back with a PM if you are interested in taking on the project.

thanks a bunch.

Those enclosures are real similar to what I've been rocking for over 18 months. Except my woofers fire up.

Hmm, I maybe interested in a pair for another project car.

that'd be sooo hard. the box would end up going into the rear footwells or maybe fit withe the subs going towards the rails. who knows a very tight fit.

I should have taken some pictures of the box before I installed it. Then again who cares it's the finished look thats most important. Keep in mind without a camera flash or any real lighting it'd be alot harder to tell the difference of the box material vs oem. Even with flash lighting it's hard to tell! Very well done!

One of the best things about this box is that it props up the sides of the box with legs and still allows the ac vent in the rear to flow/work !!

I added a couple of tack on furniture pads to push the box even higher so my passenger would get some nice vibrations ;)

Hows it really sound though? I made one with a 8" firing back because I didn't think there's enough air space that way ^^^ to get good sound. My 8" sounds great, and looks good, but it only takes one misplaced foot, if you know what I mean.
