Default Hatch Boxes??

I want to put two twelves in my hatch eventually, this stealth L7 10 isnt cutting it. I was wondering who other than subthump has hatch boxes that fit in the ttop storage well and offer 1.5+ cuft per side and two 12s, preferably L7s (square cutouts) anyone know who makes good ones that offer good fitment and plenty of airspace? Ive gotten used to the idea of having to leave the ttops of put them in the back seat and hope i dont wreck and chop my head off LOL. Let me know! Thanks...

Other than needing 2 12s, I just need something that has good fitment, can be removed for the track (if i ever make it again lol), and adequate airspace. I think Im frying my L7 10 in this tiny *** poorly built subthump stealth box. BIG mistake getting this piece of **** from subthump!!!!

I've seen those boxes... why not just go to your local shop and do a custom box?


any custom box will sound 10x better usually... as least it has for me in the past.

the way i did it is to go to your local harware store and pic up a slab of 3/4 inch MDF then after that takes some measures draw it out and grab a jugsaw. heres some pics of mine its in the back of a 95 z. its air tight and sound is smooth and loud you wont be dissapointed. and just IMO two twelves is a tight fit and a little over board for the air space in the cab of the car but hey if you like it do it. tell me what you think of mine.
