Default My custom home made sub box

Seen lots of people showing theirs but none look like mine. Made out of 5/8" MDF, bottom is fiberglassed to the contour of the floor. Sounds awesome, very surprised from the little air space. I sump the amp and crossover in as well so it all sits under the back seat.

the box is made of 5/8" mdf, made a carboard template and cut out 2 holes where the wells are and then used a garbage bag, stapled it to the mdf and formed it in the well. Then used liquid fiberglass and the cloth matting. Got it all from a local hardware store (Canadian Tire) in the automotive section.

The seats stay down all the time, but if u want louder sound u can leave them up. I like them down cause nobody knows i have a system in then, cause the deck is still factory as well

It isnt bolted in there, because the fiberglassed wells are so tight it doesnt move at all, squeezed right in there.

that is an awsome sub box. do u think you could make me one of those for my truck. and for your amp did you wire in the rca cables or is it wires from the speaker that you hooked it up to.

badass dude, very clean, A+ job from what i can see. and are those 12"s or 10"s back there,

i went to a meet in orlando with a group a guys from another dodge forum site (wont mention the name...) and there was a QC there with 2x 10"s in the back with the box LIKE yours and my HOTBOX from ebay (custom made for the center seat and fits ONE 10" woofer) sounded harder than his 2x 10"s... but on the bad note, there is something wrong with my system and ALL i get is the base from the sub, i cant figure out the problem with the door speakers not getting any power... oh well
