Finally made the sub box, pics inside

With the help of my friend, 46 screws, numerous power tools, half a tube of caulk, some spray adhesive, 8 hours of work and enough fumes to kill a sasquach we made this



We ran into a little problem, when working with Mark's dimensions we descided to do the top different and well it didn't fit so we had to router the back edge and it fit rather welll.

poo on the "maximum limit"

Being the lazy bastage I am I didn't want to relocate the CD changer so I cutthe bin in half and put the Box near the middle/drivers seat.


I'm waiting on my sub and amp to arrive in the mail and will have more pictures once completed.

Now that its to late, you should have made the box to go on the passenger side of the truck. The bass would be louder and sound better for you. The way you got it the passenger side will sound better, but thats ok because it can get your old lady all excited now. Stuff magazine said that bass gets woman aroused!

You really think this will work?

I guess it's worth a try, or something....


Thanks,

Rich

What do you mean "Finally"?!? It took me a week to get where you are now. Although the second box only took about 6 hours, not including the metal ring and covering it.

What sorts of problems did you encounter with my dimensions? Did I leave something out or was some figure way off?

I finished up the first one today along with the amps and put all the interior back in:



I went for the "stealth" amplifier install:

Hey Rich - would that be considered ported or band-pass?

Mark, nothing wrong with your dimensions, I was just a bit stupid instlead of sandwhiching the top in between the two side pieces, i just stuck it on top. That ofcourse made it higher and I forgot about that. So that tapered top isn't for looks, but to make the thing fit lol, we had to use a rouder to make a lip.
