Anyone have actual plans for a box that will fit a t-top car?

I'm looking to build a box to house two 10's in my IROC but I have t-tops and want to still be able to store them in the bag when they are out. Does anyone have plans for a box that will fit into the rear well but sit low enough that the tops won't hit the top of it when they are stored? I'm looking for a sealed box as I've never built one before and ported may be a little too advanced for me at this point.

If you 'glass it, you can easily fit 2 10s in the well flush with the gas tank hump.

That's exactly the type of thing I was looking for! Thanks. That'll fit flush with the gas tank hump and not above right? I'd measure it out but I'm already at work for the day.

I'm curious...with the t-tops in the bag...will it sit over the subs at all? (as in covering part of them)

Does that affect the sound? Is having something pressing against it (potentially) bad for the speakers or t-tops?

Subs arent cheap, so why not just get grills for them and protect them from anything and everything, aka T-tops. I think this one sat flush, not for sure. I am getting one that sits at the top of the hatch pull down cover so i can have more volume.
