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...

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.

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.
