Does anyone know of any quick custom sub boxes that I could throw together? I haven't seen any yet except for the crazy one's. I was thinking more of something that would just fit against the back of the seats from the trunk. Thanks.

I think you should just go and buy a box. Save time and money.

What kind of system are you running? So we can help you more.

I did that but all the boxes are so big. I am working on the plans for one now that will fit flush with the back of the back seat so that you still have some useable trunk space. I was just actually curious if anyone had already done something like that. I will post pictures once it is done. Thanks

Well I currently have a decent size box that takes up quite a bit of space but I plan in the future to get one built out of fiber glass to take up a lot less space and when I do I will post some pics.

Does anyone have a shot of their hatch area with nothing in it.

Carpet, spare, jack, all removed, just the metal?

Here's my setup. I know it looks lame, but it works, doesn't move at all. Plus, no holes to drill. Plus, when I want to race I can just lift it out.:D

Looks good. I am planning on getting the supplies to do a carbon fiber box that I will have attatched with velcro. I am looking at carbon fiber because of its strength to weight ratio plus I think I can build a box that doesn't take up much space and then build an amp rack on the other side of the hatch area so that I have a lot of space for storage.

Is that the 1000watt Sony Xplod? If so, I had that amp and I had nothing but trouble with it, cutting out etc. So I went with the 800 watt monoblock and I have wayy more power. I'm pushing 2 JBL 10's and they are ungodly loud. My box isn't strapped down, but its so big that it doesnt move :)

Hey sniperSI.......This is in regards to my system setup in the link you proveded. Here are my specs for one 10" sub that required 1.1ft3 of internal space. Length 18 1/2
Width 17 1/2
Height 7 1/4
The wood is 3/4" thick so that gives you an internal space of 17.75 x 16.75 x 6.5. I used the formula L x W x H divided by 1728(12x12x12). This gave me an internal volume of 1.11 cubic ft. Next to the box on each side are 2 amp racks. The specs are: 18.5 x 11 x 4
If you want to use this setup keep in mind that your speakers probably will require a different enclosure space. This setup is also for a ported setup and if you decide to go sealed then you will have a lot more room to work with. If your going with 2 speakers then it will be very difficult to make evrything fit nicely due to the shape of the trunk. The floor would have to be raised about 10" probably. Good luck in your setup.

I JUST Finished it today, Ill send some pics, Its enclosed and i feel like such a tool but i had to sacrifice some range for some space, but it hits hard /; anyways it looks good and the hatch floor is now flush with the jam where the hatch closes onto, pics soon

Sounds good. Sorry I didn't get you those specs sooner. I know they don't help you now. I've been all over the place in the last 2 weeks and haven't had time to dig up the specs. Hopefully those specs will at least help someone.

Paid him $100.

He was selling it through the classifieds on this board.

As far as I know it is a COMPLETE enclosure.

Don't know if he would make more or not, this was in his car, but he needed to sell some things for financial reasons.

I don't think I can take it anymore, ima have to trash the box I built and find a way to put the box i have in my hatch, The box i'm not using is PERFECT for these 2 JLs.

back to the drawing board

here is mine... First time i ever worked with carbon fiber, or fiberglass for that matter.

Holy crap that's clean, what size speaker are those?

As for the questions before, I just used normal 6 foot straps from autozone. For like 10 bucks, they have one hook at each end. The connect to the hook at the base of our back seats. it's pretty simple. I can post pics if you would like.

And the amp is a Sony 800 too. Yah, the setup rocks!!!

LMAO... Yeah, i know some guy who had 1 10" mtx in a dual port bandpass and it was small, but it sounded like 2 very powerful 12"s... He only had 270 going to it too...

you can try to make one of the enclosures i did, with my friend! :)

BlackNRed .. can you post some more pictures of that? Is that fiberglass with a 12? Are the amps behind the fiberglass? It is pretty clean and still allows you to you use most of your trunk room (my requirement).

So yeah it took us a good 16 man hours to do it, it was a sob....my friend is a master installer @ a audio shop he been doing this type of work for about 14-15 some odd years....it was a fun, yet tedious project

Minus the cost of the sub, wires, amps, etc. what did the box cost you?
