DIY stealthbox?? Hi,
I want to mount a 10" sub in the drivers side cubby hole.
Shipping costs and duty mean importing a custom made F body stealth box is Very expensive.
I have never built a sub box before, but I am a competent woodworker, and my lack of fiberglassing skills makes me want to construct the box from MDF.
cws TA has a good write up, thanks man.
Couple of questions though.
How do I fix my box in place to stop it moving around when I'm driving?
Could someone explain what exactly is involved with adding the terminals through the box?
How do I attach the carpet, glue / staples??
Any tips / pointers are appreciated
Many thanks,
Paul.

Velcro, very inventive good idea.
I'm still not sure how to post links, but if you search for 'MDF' it's the 3rd or 4th down, titled " DIY build box " by cws TA. Very good read.
I did consider doing a passenger side 10" also, but I'll keep it simple to start with, and progress from there.
Good luck !!
