Default Custom Speaker Box

Well I'm trying to figure out a good speaker box for my Trans am. I have 2 JL Audio 10w7's Lots of boom here.

I have a guy that has a box for the t-top area. Here's a picture of it.



This right here is gonna cost me about 600 bucks plus shipping. It wont be red though. I like the look and everything but I was doing some brain storming. Its also made from fiber glass.

Is it at all possible to take a stealth box like this


And extend the box to underneath the panels where the original back speakers are, they will be removed of course. Will a box like that be very effective and for a speaker of that much power to have the proper air space?

I'm just trying to think of a way to be able to use the trunk area for the T-Tops or other things. I want it to look clean and if at all possible hidden. Any ideas or know anyone that can possibly do that? Also if you have a nice speaker box custom set up or something close to what I'm looking for. I would really appropriate any help or pictures. I have invested a pretty penny into this system and I want to put a little more into it but not to much. I mean 600 dollars is a lot but if it comes down to it I will buy it. Just will ask for a t-top slot to be put in it.

(Please note that I'm trying to do two speakers. A speaker box for each side of the car. Its the only way to do it like that.)

Any help would be great.

Cool Does it come with a sub

Unless that comes with the jl subs then that is way to much money I would check out kee audio he is a sponsor and his box isn't $600 he might also to put red carpet on it.

Those boxes are much more less costly, but does kee audio do custom build boxes? Like the one I was describing?

i talk to kee audio about a box that would allow you to use your t-tops. he said he could build one but it would be the same price or maybe even more. so I went ahead and ordered one from subthump, trust me u won't be dissappointed.

Could this be modded to fit an 87 TA? I have 6 speakers that I am installing in my car with dual amps, I dont have a sub. Should I get one? I can lose the spare wheel area and modify my plastic panel if needed. Thanks

Thanks

If you want some boom in ur car, I would say yes. But thats all up to you. I love to have mega bass and drawing attention. So I wanted some big speakers. All in all man totally up to you. You will like it either way.

yes exactly like the ones we are talking about, there are tons of subthump wannabe boxes with even more cubic ft area.
