Default Built sub box - Wondering if anyone is interested in one

So I decided that I wanted a box that would go on the rear deck instead of down in the T-Top cubby because I think that there is a lot more storage space where the T-Tops go and would like to utilize it. Over Christmas, my dad and I built a pretty sweet box that fits like a glove and does not interfere with the back glass, vision from the rear view mirror, or the T-Top storage. I am wondering if anyone else may be interested in one of these if I started building a few to sell, and at what price? So enough of the bullcrap and on to the cellphone pics (sorry)








The angle of the top is parallel to the angle of the back glass in my 98 Camaro

Also, when looking in the rear view mirror it is about dead even with my Z28 spoiler so it does not obstruct vision at all. I will post some pics of it with the sub in my car tomorrow if anyone is interested. Also, of course, the hole for the sub could be cut to fit any sub. Mine is a kicker L7.

Note that these pics are under florescent lights. Paint looks even better in sunlight. I may have to make paint an option though to keep cost down. Cheaper version may be carpeted.

^ ya know I figured someone would say that someone makes a box like this. No I haven't seen the subthump one.

It really doesn't matter to me- we can just treat this like a "look what I made" thread if no one is interested. Lol, I will post some pics in the car tomorrow though.

How is it secured? You really don't want that thing flying at you if you get into an accident.

Haha, that was my first thought too. For now nothing. As long as the seat is up (and it always is) there's no way that thing is coming out. If i decide to lay the seat down I've got a couple of ideas on how to secure it.

Who has a fbody when the back glass isn't tinted?
A tint would hide the box perfectly.
