alright.....some may remember this box I made a couple weeks back: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=733066
I am swapping out my 12" TC-9 for a 12" TC-2000 because the TC-2000 performs much better in sealed applications where the TC-9 likes ported.
I need a new box now though because it is a little small for the TC-2000 -- I would probably keep it still even but the mounting depth is not sufficient (I believe...haven't actually tried yet).
The old box is for sale -- along with the amp rack to the right of it. The long boards everything rests on is not included (unless you really want to pay to ship them as well..much cheaper to purchase your own). Best offer takes it (within reason). Check out thread linked above for more details, or ask questions.

Below is the new box after a couple hours of work...so still obviously a long way to go. The amp will be mounted vertically on the side of the box. In the end....it's going to turn out to be the old box, basically extended downwards. It's kinda going to be built as 2 separate boxes, with a piece of MDT layered between them -- and that will be cutout somewhere along the red circle you can see in the pics. Decided on the 2 piece design for more solid construction, and better use of the space. I was going to just cut out the bottom of the old one, but the side of the box would not look as clean so figured just build another.
Space available will be between 1.3 and 1.6 cubic feet....and if I do end up around 1.6 cu.ft. or more -- I will go ported.....if I can make the port fit...

sorry...a pic of the box underneath would help it make more sense of why the circle cutout will be off set, and how the top piece overlays...etc..
if you're wondering how the back wall will be secured to the bottom...yea so am I -- I meant for it to be back further on the overhang so I could get screws in from the bottom, but that isn't possible now -- so I think I will just add a strip of MDF behind the back wall, screw/glue that into the piece under it and screw/glue if forward into the back wall which will just be glued to the floor... and along the inside of the back wall I'll add a 1x1 of 1.5x1.5 strip of lumber for bracing......

I'm obviously losing the whole nice part of my former idea in retaining almost all of the trunk space...so that kinda sux.. -so sorry for the lame box idea post -- it's mostly for me, so that when I browse the forums I see that this box hasn't been completed, and then I will be motivated...kinda.
