Well if you want to look at them put them in a truck box and mount the amp in the middle... put them right behind the back seat on the raised part of the trunk...

just buy a stealth box off eBay. JL, MTX, and a couple no names make some that fit perfect and you can get them unloaded

What speakers are going in this box?
Where is it going to be located? Driver side subthump style? In the t-top hole? On the flat part behind the seat?
I guess it would help to know what you're planning on doing.

Thumbs up

Try this website: http://www.bcae1.com

On the right go to section 110 "Basic Enclosure Calculations".

Hope this helps, it did for me.

try fbodyaudio. But I would recommend going with fiberglass. Perfect fit, out of the way, and much lighter than mdf.

If you plan on putting the box in the ttop storage area, why do you need dimensions for? You make it sound like you can build a box with no problem, so why not get a measuring tape out and do it yourself. Also, boxes need to be made to the specs of the subwoofer you plan on putting in there. So it really depends on which sub you are using and what type of enclosure you'd like to put it in.

I agree with thaar...get out a tape measure and figure out what you've got.
And make sure you have the required airspace for the speaker you intend to use.

Do you even know what's involved in making a sub box out of MDF?
