ill get a pic of mine for you guys today... its not done.... i just have the box in the empty trunk with no spare tire... i still have to make an amp rack and a board to put over the whole thing... it probably raised the bottom of the trunk by eight inches, and the amp rack is going to position the amp in the middle of the trunk... but above the floor... i think it will look good... but will leave my trunk useless... its ok, i put all my stuff in the back seats anyway..

Aw, you don't need that bandpass box- sell it for $20 and spend the money making your sub more concealed and MUCH less space consuming!

[drifter_for_life06]

it doesnt take up THAT much space

personally id just forget subs i like mid-range and tweeters myself

Which is why I replaced all my 6.5"s with JL components One of these days I'll get up enough $$ for MB Quarts...

ok... you want to see a sub box that takes up tons of space... you got it...all i know is it looks like crap right now... im gonna work on it tomarrow, maybe get all the wood work done for mounting the amp and putting a board over the top of the box to make a false floor for the trunk... it will be at the same level at the bottom of the trunk opening.... in the future ill fill it underneath on both sides with a battery relocation kit, and maybe a nitrous bottle ....

woha, thats huge!

[97ka-t]

A little too big for me... haha I'll stick with either a single 8 or 10"..

stupid question but why'd you use screws & calking? i remember making one box like that way back when, I find it's much easer to just use good wood glue and a couple brad nails to hold it together, and the only reason for the brad nails is to hold the pannels in place untill it dries, it winds up being strong as hell and seals completely.

[drifter_for_life06]

i guess he used it for a tight seal and to make sure it was held together

if thats all tahts avaiable by all means use it

[97ka-t]

Yep. I made my box literally indestructable. You can throw that thing into a brick wall and there isn't a chance in hell that it'll fall apart. You could probably get away with a dozen nails, wood glue, and silicone. I just like to ensure a nice, tight, seal.
