I have an 87 TA with T-tops. I was thinking about making a sub box for the open space in the trunk after my engine swap. I have the original T-Top bag that clips into the rear. Has anyone built a sub box that allows for the T-top bag to still clip in? What size subs were you able to fit? Pictures?

Thank you

 

yes, flush mount for 10's......I remove my t-tops all the time and put them in the stock bag. 12's will have to stick up some because they are deeper.

Clips using all the stock mounts, I may take a better pic later

 

Thanks a bunch! That's exactly what i wanted to know and look at.

 

no problem, just browse my threads and you'll see more pics and the information to the plans to build that box.

 

If you're only looking to run one sub, this is what I had done



I have long lost the plans I sketched up and this car went off to the junkyard in the sky about 2 years ago, so dimensions and cuts have long been lost. I found this setup to work pretty well, only took up a little bit of space (and it was sealed, not just a quick plate setup), and was almost completely out of sight when the top bag was in place.

 

I have a very similar setup which also has a carpeted cover made from expanded metal. It allows me to use the cargo area for "cargo" and also allows me to strap down the T-Tops. The enclosure is constructed of MDF and fiberglass with a facade on top to make it all appear flush.

 

UGH thats the only thing i hate about my system! I really wish i had a good place for my t-tops. Now i just put them in the bag and then put it in the back seat. I mean there protected but i wish the back seat was "uncluddered". Heres a quick pic of my system....as you can tell it takes up ALL the room...i didnt think about the tops when i built everything....here she is....

 

Thanks guys. Ive got an amp mounted inside the little compartment on the left of the trunk. The guy I bough the car from already had the whole thing wired with alpine speakers and amp. I think I am gonna go with two 10's and hopefully a carpeted cover.
Swapping my engine this week, so the subs will come after.
