Well a buddy of mine needed a new sub box for his truck, so we started brainstorming a while ago. It's a 99 tacoma extended cab. There's a hump where the rear seats fold down, and it has a compartment in there for the jack. He still wanted access to it, so we'd have to build around it. The sub he has to use is a Hertz Hi-energy 12" that we picked up for DIRT cheap. So I figured that we'd make a box that kind of rounded around the whole thing.. I guess pictures speak a thousand words..
Near the bottom part of it, we were going to make more enclosure go down, but there was a lot more room in there than I tohught, so we just laid a second piece down beside where the woofer mounts and sealed her up. There's also a brace in there to make it a little more rigid. It will also be seeing carpet in the near future. I'll get some in truck pictures hopefully soon

New top hit was 156.5 (on peak)154.3 (on rms)
And I have not finished box.
2-15 MTX RFL's in a wall.
Let you know what the numbers go too, When I'm done.
when doing a box like that and cutting away all that wood to make the curve do you have to coat it in resin to get the strengh back or do u have to fill it with silicon or do u have to do anything
by the way i think we all want to see the box in the truck
nice job

you should resin it, but we just filled everything in with a sub-floor adhesive. it was way cheaper and it's strong enough for our application. Also, I couldnt get pictures last night.. it was a little too dark out.

Be careful what you wish for...
didnt fit the way i wanted against the folding seat, but it'll be shimmed when we go to carpet it.. same with the block at the bottom.. we'll be making something a little more permanent later
