convertible sub box? ok fellas ive gone through the search and found some ideas but i was wondering... what is the best option for a daily driver convertible as far as a sub box goes? i dont want to loose any trunk space and want decent sound... i found this one but im unsure of what it would look like... not too many pics of the full install... i know i dont want a HUGE box taking over my seat either... any help would be great... thanx

I got this sub box from a guy on here, works pretty good Didn't loose any useful space in the trunk. All you need is some good 8s. Now I am wanting to upgrade the rest of the stock system.
It has two cables that go forward from the box and connect to the pins that hold the back seat up.
I have 2 verts this one and my olds with a single 10" sub in the trunk. The bass is about half, maybe a bit less, with the top down on both cars. The only way I can see to avoid that is to place the sub in the cabin like that other sub does, but that wouldn't work for me, I have kids back there all the time.
Overall I am very happy with the box, very decent sound, but you need some very good subs, I had a cheaper set of subs to start and it wasn't near as good.
Oh, just in case you don't trust me about two verts.....

Yup. That's a custom built box - I have the same setup. Mine is currently living in my second vert. I have a pair of Rockford Fosgate Punch 8" subs - and it is perfect. Plenty of bass - but more importantly - no loss of trunk space and no interference with the top operation. Its the way to go.
EDIT: only thing to remember is that you want some quick disconnects for when/if you need to get to the spare tire, it does block it's removal.

, I had no idea on the spare tire, I didn't do it for easy removal, no one told me that, or I missed that detail....Anyway, I think it's the only way to go in the vert...
The guys handle on here was Johhny B, I don't remember what I paid him for the box, he would sell the plans for the box or make it for you....
well, with the cage, i had to remove the backseat so i did something similar..
Initially, and this show how much i pay attention, the rear delete box i got for my car was something bought, however, it turns out that it is custom as well.
Basically, it's a rear seat delete with a set of 12's dropped in there.

Can't remember the name of the connectors, if you are interested I will find out what they were.
Hmm, didn't know he was selling them on ebay. I bought the box from him direct on this site.
