Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

Some nice setups !!

Just built me a new 10"x2 box, other blasted apart, and relocated amp into spare tire area so its hidden from thief's! Gives me a lil bit more time to wake up and run outside with the slugger.

Bought a duel 10" box for the camaro when I got my first one. Put some explodes in there, and they exploded the bottom off the 1" mdf box :/ @ 1/2 amp power.




Made a new one with 3/4" FiberBoard, liquidnails, and pinchnailed.
Also moved the amp to its new home, spare tire well !


Some carpet is coming soon, wanted to make sure it held its own, and i stained it before ghetto spraying it to prevent the element from damaging it in the future.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

Looking good! Did you build something for your amp to sit on in the spare tire area, or is it just sitting in there? I was thinking about building some sort of amp rack to put back there to hide my amp and cap, I was lust looking for some ideas.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

I just used the spare tire mount, cocked it to the side a little bit, drilled 4 holes and it fit perfectly. I sanded a nice area under the amp down to bare shiny metal, slapped my ground there.

Amp does not shake, move at all !
ill go snap a finished pic really quick.


You could probably take a piece of 1/2 3/4" wood and make a shelf there or something, plenty of room, and that spare tire rack is hella strong.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

I like the way it turned out. I really want to look into putting my amp in the spare tire area as I like the clean look with just the subs and box. My amp and cap and cd changer are all mounted on the hump right behind the back seat I think the pictures are somewhere in this thread lol. Thanks for the pictures I think I am going to look into running mine like that!

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

Yeah I thought about doing a "false" floor in mine. But that still doesnt take the amp and cap off the hump it just hides it a little better then leaving it in the open. Mine looks just like that without the false floor installed, to do something like that all I would need to do is add the piece of MDF to cover it.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

Yeah a false floor would be the same thing all the wiring would be run underneath and the amp and cap and whatever else would sit inside and have the "flush" look. I would worry about my amp getting too hot with that restricting air flow. I also thought about that while entertaining the spare tire area as well. I think you've seen mine, its somewhere in this thread but I want to go a little cleaner look tho, clean off the hump area.

This is what mine looks as it sits now. I upgraded my amp and subs from the kenwood amp and sony subs to this MTW 801D amp and Kicker CVR subs...

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

Yea mine can not be seen from the outside unless I open my hatch. The tint on the hatch is dark and no one can see in. But I know what you mean about waking up and seeing your car all messed up. Here is what I found last sunday morning...Funny you say seeing your car jacked up...

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

The story is they stole a shovel from a backyard and went around smashing windows. The dumb kids actually got caught red handed doing it to another car. I actually have court tomarrow so if I dont get paid you better believe I will handle things my own way. I will get their names and addresses tomarrow as well. But yeah $1000 for a new windshield and a lot of sheet metal work, trim pieces and paint around the window and A pillars...

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

I had did a police report for my car, they came out, the kids even dropped an Id right by my car from the local high school, I sat for hours waiting for these pigs, and they ended up doing jack ****. But there gonna bust ole boy cuz his exhaust is to loud. One day ppl will stand up and not put up with these lazy *** cops anymore. Not even one finger print was lifted off my car even thou no one touched it besides the kids and you can see prints everywhere.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

I don't feel like taking pictures, but I took the old box out of my Aunt's 4th gen, because her car is getting fully restored and updated with a brand new system. So I need to cut the edges to fit with the plastic, and it's just a tad bit different. It has 2 10's though.

Re: Let's see your custom speaker boxes!

Does any of you who have built your own box have the Dimensions needed to make it and the internal airspace needed, im thinking of either doing 1 Rockford T1, or 2 P3's all fiberglassed aswell as the amp rack
