i built that...you are simply looking at the front of the enclosure...in that particular car it is two seperate enclosures due to the opening of the trunk being too small to get one enclosure in and then they are screwed together from inside and carpeted....

so can I just make a box with 5 sides and an open back so it can just slide into the back on my car against the seat? Or does it need to be sealed right up all 6 sides? I figure with 5 sides only it'd be easier get to sit nice and flush against my back seats. My logic is probably totally fuxored but eh...

You want to do something like this Mustang I did?

It's not really "simple", but not too hard either. Might take a first timer a little while...

i dont understand why you would want it to seal against the back seat.....if its for space the most your losing is 3/4" maybe a ahir more if you carpet that side of the box........

From the FAQ's, Guides and Information section, Which way do I face my subs?
"If you desire the best performance and have the time and/or money, then the example in fig. 4 is the way to go. First, a baffle must be built to seal the trunk completely."

Plus it looks good. Whenever I get a car worth keeping I think thats how I will do the intall.


edit
Now that I reread everything I'm not sure if I got the right meaning.

those boxes look extremely good, both my seats fold down like that, plus i always have my seats down to try and stop some of the rattleing from my rear deck. do you need the car there to build the box? or could you build one and lets say send it to someone?
