sub enclosure Options

[fastgt]

hey guys this has been running in my head for a while now.

i have a coupe with a box that holds 2 12's , you can bet i have noooooo space at all.

so i was thinking of buy a really thin piece of ply wood and making a cut out of it using the carpet inside the truck as a guide, then cut out holes for the amp and subs and cover the subs with a gate or plexy glass(havent thought this far yet)
ill be removing the spare tire of course

while this is just an idea you guys tell me what you think

[FAQdaWorld]

I intend to do something along these lines too, only i'm gonna be using fiberglass and building them up, i dont care about not having a trunk thats what the backseat is for

[celicarocker]

im making a speakerbox over the summer.... its gonna take up my whole trunk, but after a year i realized, ive never put anything in my trunk.... its gonna hold either 4 10"s or 2 12"s..... still undecided, then 2 or 3 amps.... a 4 chan for the speakers (4 infinity kappas), then a 2 chan, or two 2 chan (if i go 4 10 route).... it'll be tight.... and prolly a cap, cuz my headlights dim already....

I made a sub box out of fiberglass for one 12 and it hits really hard

well i dont trust myself with fiberglass, and i need my trunk. the backseats always seems to get full, and i hate cleaning it out when my friends get in

[celimanST]

don't let anyone fool you FG is easier to work with than you might think

[Cormudgen]

here is mine

it may give you an idea of wht to work with

cost like $25 worth of materials.....but a lot time measure twice cut once

I need the practicality of my trunk. Amps are ok where they are, however, my 2 12" subs are currently in the parcel shelf and frankly the shelf is not up to it. So I'm thinking about making 2 sub boxes to fit at the back left and right hand sides of the trunk. Probably use a combination of plywood and fibreglass.

Good advice Cormudgen - measure several times to be absolutely sure/correct. I would add, over cut the size and trim down afterwards to get a perfect fit.

CelimanST - I've figured your picture out now!
Do you have any photos of them installed?
Weren't you gauging interest at one point with regards making these?

pxcr440 - nice setup.
Unfortunately totally impractical for me as I need the use of the trunk.

Cormudgen's setup may well be feasible for me if I add a perspex cover over the top.
