Sub box and T-Top Bags

Any of you guys out there, who have built sub boxes in the rear well, have had trouble with the T-Top bags being in the way of the subs? I want to build one in my GTA, but it looks like the bags will cover the top of the box. Any suggestions?

I just leave the the bag folded up so that it doesn't touch the subs. Then when I have the T-Tops off, I fold down the back seat and put the T-Tops and bag there

custom or regular grills will heep anything from getting damaged i don't imagine the bags blocking too much bass either but i could be wrong.

If you build a sub box, just keep the top flush with the hump in the cargo area where the T-tops are normally stored.
Use speaker grilles for extra protection.

You shouldn't have any problems.

Back before my setup was stolen and my car was set on fire this is what my setup looked like. It was alot like CAMp3RO's setup. I works pretty nicely.

If you flip the bag so the straps are on the bottom, you'll get some extra room.
