hhhhhhmmmmmmmm

If you make one by yourself, I agree with the guy with the \_/ idea. The _ being the back of your back seat, or the bottom of your trunk. I guess alot of specs are going to be needed. best of luck!

I have built about 5 boxes with three 12's straight across the back in the cargo area.It can be done without removing or scrapping any interior panels.

That last pic looks bad ***, how deep is that piece the amp is setting on? One more question...why type-s? Type-R's would have been so much better . But anywayz...how did that sound? You ever run it in comps?

The amp rack was deep enough to flush mount the amp.I just had it sitting on top in the pic.And the reason for the Type S's is because they were free.Can't beat that. It sounded pretty good.Never used it any comps.

Demo purposes.Easy when you manage a stereo shop Right now I have about $8500 worth of audio and video equipment in my Expedition that I only spent maybe about $2500 on. Manufacturer demo discounts.
