sub box and t-tops

Hi all im really frustrated with this sub box that i custom made to fit in that cubby deal in the back of my camaro. I put it in but now when i put the t-tops in the back they dont really fit right. I was thinking about cutting about an inch or 2 off the bottom of the box so that i could just have the subs sunk in a bit and then put plexiglass over it so i could put flourescent lights in side and make it look cool. Any easier suggestions

Got any pics so we can better understand what you mean???
Is it angled, or flush. How or the speakers set up, what size and what kind are they. Where is your amp installed, and what is the info on that. Is the amp on the back shelf too, or on the box?

Yeah, I have the same problem. I just put the back seat down, put the tops there and hook them down. This way I get more sound to the ear. (a small difference)

I got rid of this setup, but the t-tops laid on there perfect. The subs buzzed them a little, but not bad.

Leave either the people or the persons at home. Sacrafices need to be made....

I tried things like to put the amps on the sides so the t-tops could lay in the middle of them, but the only solution was to build the amp rack in the back seat. My first box sat on the ledges in the well, so i could put the amps under it.
