I made a sub box for the trunk It took me 2 days, I know it should have only taken one, but I did all the cutting outside, didnt want all that dust inside the house. And daylight was scarce. Check it out

the I made the platform for the amp with the wires running underneath, but I didnt like the look of 2 seperate parts in my hatch area, so I did a little re-work to my sub box, and all the wires will run underneath, and there will be no seam at all.

The only think I took off the box was carpet and spacers. the top is still MDF, but the platform if plywood

Tell me what you think.

if i separate the subs by putting board between them will it sound any different then not having it there

if they're the same sub then it shouldn't change much. you seperate them to make sure that if one sub blows one doesn't recieve too much volume and blow itself apart. chances are though, that even 1 sub is good for that enclosure because it's not too big (a few cubic feet).

SO..........

Im starting to build a sub box tomorrow, but i wanna know like what do you guys us to piece it together? Like screws, wood screws, wood glue? Just wondering. Also, like is there anything i need to put inside the sub box or do i leave the inside hollow.

Use Liquid nails as well as appropriate wood screws for holding it together. I suggest building the entire box once with just screws, then reassemble it once you know everything fits w/ liquid nails. Once it's done you need to caulk all of the seams. Finally, some rope caulk is a good idea to seal the subs in so you can remove them if you need to.

And cpt howdy...
That's sweet!
I'm loving the grill logos. I had grills like that I bought from fleabay but they didn't fit in anyway conceivable to man, so I ditched them :/

Just thought I would throw in my favorite site for explaining how boxes work and the calculators to give them their best response.

http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxes.asp

I'm using this site to do the math for a custom 8" and 12" sub combo box to get better overall frequency response.
I'm too old for big boom but sharp and clear boom is for me.

I really wouldnt recomend doing two different subs, let alone sizes. Its never a good idea to mix and match different subs in the same car/system. Even if your not into the big bass.. Im sure many others will tell you the same. Just cuz different sub sizes tend to do differnet frequencies better than others, doesnt mean they will play well together. Not saying you cant, just letting you know what i think.

O ya and thats pretty helpful site. I am using it myself right now to try and figure out how im going to build my box. I am doing two DD 1508 8" subs, and im going to do a slot port. But being at needing about .9 cubes per sub, its not looking too great. I can get that much space, but after port and sub displacement its not going to be quite that many cubes.. My measurements are quite a bit different than the original post. Not sure if my 82 TA is a little different or what, but i got 25 on bottom, about 5 inches over the drivers side, and 10 on the passenger, and about 15 from top to bottom to sit flush, not exactly but its real close. Im pretty sure i can fit 25" total on the bottom too.

Boxes look great guys... Thinking of building one myself.

I was wondering if anyone has seen one of these boxes pre made for 2 12in subs with each sub being seperated. I just got one of these boxes and i was too excited to put it in so i didnt even look at how mine was made. Im guessing theres one template for a 2 sub box so there all made the same but I wanted to check with you guys cuz im too lazy to take a sub out =D

Does anyone have a cut list for the taller box ? So I can get more airspace.

Someone has installed a pair in his camaro subwoofer kicker L5 10 ", I know the steps to develop the ventilated sub box.
