Question: 10's and sub box

Ok, I have a question for anyone who is running 10s in their hatch area. I am making a box for back there, but the problem is a 10 inch sub will hit the best with a perfect 12x12x12 cube (So I have been told). Although that does not fit in the area behind the wheel well. I was curious was others have done to occupy the 10 inch sub. Or what people suggest to do in order to get good sound, without making acess to the tail lights too difficult (Incase a light bulb goes out). Any help would be great, thanks.

91RSmaro,
Steve

This is the box setup I run my one 10inch in. Its angled at the front so I turned it upside down and it fits into the well.

angles and and lengths of side aren't going to matter as long as the volume is correct assuming its sealed.

Go to the manufacturer's websight and see what they recommend for space, and build the box as close to that as you can. All speakers have different space requirements.
