hrm, thats oddd... when i do wxhxl divede by 1728, i get about 8.5 cu ft. i'm pretty sure 8.5 cubic feet would run into my front seats, lol.

edit: this is for the maximum sized box i'm willing to put in..22"x39.5"x17"

22" by 40" by 20" is pretty damn huge... and 8.5 cubic foot is right.

my box that is 6" by 12" by 12" is .5 cubic feet.
