ok, i don't want a box that sits flush with the hatch area. i want to make it down in the well area so it sits on the ledges in the well. i'm only putting one 12. maybe 2 down the road but one for now. so does ANYBODY have this kind of box and if u do can u tell me the dimensions. here's a pic of what i'm talking about.

 

no real dimentions...other than the bottoms fiberglass...only the top is MDF...you can make those dimentions yourself ....depending on how far down in the well you want or need to go

 

well i finally got time to go and check the size i was dealing with and i think it's gona be a 1.2 ft^3 box. i'll be uploading the dimentions later bcuz i am unable right now

 

finally started to mock up a box out of cardboard. i 'm gona try to make the box bigger by making the top higher and adding space over the ledges.

 

sry for the bad quality, cell fone camera.

 

i also forgot about the fact that i need to make notches for the spots in the pic. let me know what u guys think

 

.

 

nobody as anything to say?

 

Looks like a good idea. I built a box for a pair of pioneer tens using about that same design cept i made mine outside of the car. Want the easiest thing to put in, but even harder to get out. Doesnt take up much room, and would be a b!tch to steal

 

arent you ganna leave the rear plastic panel in ??? or do you plan on covering it up.

 

i have to take it out so the box will fit down there. then put it back after the box is in. even if someone knew it was there they couldn't steal it, unless they unscrewed the sub itself.

got any pics?

 

Nice &$@ing idea man !!!:hail: I hate thiefs

 

ok i just finished my mock up of the real box and took some pics. and (if my calculations r right) i have 1.49 ft^3 with the notches and not including the displacement of the sub . it's almost perfect for the E12O sub i'm getting.

 

yes, that's a bath tub. it has the best light for the cell fone camera

 

also just to let everyone know. this will be my first box i have ever made. also i just stared to get interested in subs about a month ago. i feel pleased with the way things r going and how i'm doing so far. what do u guys think of how i'm doing?

 

no comments?

 

what is that thing on top of it supposed to be? To conceal the subs? What are the to cut outs for?

 

the entire thing is the box, i just didn't have time to put the sides all the way around, i'm sure u can get the idea of it. and the notches r for the areas that stick out in the back. i have them ponited out in one of the other pics. i'll get a pic of everything in the car tomorrow and mark where the sub and amp will be and u'll have a better idea of how it's gona fit in the car. then i'll be getting some MDF after xmas bcuz eveything is so crazy right now and don't have time. like i sed b4, this is my first box and need some tips on putting the box together. like what glue or screws or nails.

 

this shows y i made notches. and where the sub and amp will be.

 

sry, forgot to post the pic

 

the fit is perfect, i mean it takes 2 or 3 people just to put it in, one to hold the back plastic piece and one or two others to get the box in. once everything is back in place NOone can tek it out.

once more, anyone got any tips on how to make the box?

 

No room for 2 subs?

 

Looks like an awesome idea. The best wood you cud get would be MDF. Medium Density Fiberboard I think it is. You should be able to get it at home depot or something. Ive got 2 12s in my hatch it sounds good. As you said it would be a bitch to steal for deff. 1 person. Which Im thankful for dat!.

 

well it's a max of about 1.49 ft^3, so it prob would sound like a$$. the sub i'm getting needs 1.5

thanks, also i did know about the MDF board but what i am not sure on in out to put the box together. EX: wood glue, liquid nail, wood screws, or glue screws? here's a site that had alot of idea's but idduno what to do.

 

About the volume of your box:

When you make it out of MDF are you going to loose some indie volume because the MDF is thicker than cardboard, or does you volume of 1.49 take into account for that.

 

I made mine sit on those walls, but had to slope it up for more Space for two 12s

 

ya i tried to take that into account but i'm not sure how + i am about it. i think b4 accounting for the MDF it is 2.19 ft^3, and i'll be using 5/8's MDF

 

Hey check your PM.

 

i just finshed my box off today for the bottom part of the well i got 1 infinity need 1.25 cubic feet so i just thought it looked around there cut it up and put it in calculated it ended up with about 1.30 cubic feet i was like damn pretty close ill get some pics soon for ya
