JL Man wrote: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?

if i had the dimensions i could build it and send it but honestly its just a box....unless box building aint your thing theres no reason you cant do it yourself....of course some people just honestly dont have a feel for it....

You want it sealed off from the trunk if you have it like that. You don't want bass frequencies bouncing off the area around the box and back into the trunk. This prevents that from happening.

It shouldnt even be 100 bux. Last sheet of MDF i bought was less than 30 bux.

Give it a shot. And face the subs backwards in your car. They should get louder that way.

Yeah from past experience, facing the subs towards the trunk is def the loudest. We did it that way in that Mustang because that cars trunk rattles like no other, and this avoided those vibrations.

It looks like it's just a regular box pushed against the back seat....I bought a box that looked just like that for 15 bux from a friend, ask around, you may find a deal too.

"deals" on boxes don't always turn out well(crappy box). best bet is try and do it yourself. if that doens't work, then holler at one of these guys on here or a local shop.

I got a deal on my box...a 1.77cuft sealed square enclosure not even carpetted, for a cool 2000 bucks...of course the rest of the installation was included in that price, minus the cost of the equipment...and that 2 grand was a deal!!! From what I hear...I still think I got the short end of the proverbial stick for that one, since it still isn't finished...but I am not bitter...just makes me want to be this kitty:
