WOoHOo! Sub Box Completed. Not too shabby. I finished my sub box yesterday, and I might ad it looks prety sweet too. I have to give credit tosubthump.com and all those whose pics I found while searching for boxes for the F-Body. Personaly I dont consider myself a handyman, but I hate giving my money away for something I can make myself. Seeing the box outside the vehicle gave the appearance of nothing more then just that, "A Box". So I set forth on a mission to make my own. I have to admit, it was rather easy. About 40 bucks in materials, a circular saw, and a jig saw, is about all I used. Tape measure, some caulk, paper and pencil too of course. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I know, your thinking... yea but what are you gonna do inthe summer months with the T-Tops? Well, since this was my first shot at doing this I didnt wanna get fancy and make things any more difficult then they might already be. So I constructed the simple box, as I call it. In the spring I plan on makeing a new one with the ability to store the tops, as well as several other features. Guess you'll have to tune in in the spring to find out more.
Personaly I think this one turned out prety damn good. Took me about 6-7 hours of construction. A couple days to find the vinyl and fabric, wire, and plugs but they werent hard to locate. Spent about another 3 hours total in covering it. So all in all theres about 10 hours in the project. Needless to say, the next one should go a little faster. You can check it out here.

If anyone considering building one, and would like some pointers dont hesitate to ask. Theres a few good tips I can offer to make things go smooth for ya.

Re: WOoHOo! Sub Box Completed. Not too shabby. Looks good, but everyone isn't that well inclined in such areas. That's why some of us don't mind paying others to do it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: WOoHOo! Sub Box Completed. Not too shabby. Man, GOOD job. I wanted to do something similar since I took my rear seat out. If you guys have any ideas, let me know. Im not looking for speakers, just something to clean up where the rear seats were!
