i came across a member of another forum who built a sub box for 2 12" subs and i'm gonna make one Similar to his....
(I messaged him but it seems he is no longer around anymore)

anyway he used 3/4" thick Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)

and his dimensions were

58" Long
9" wide Base
and 5" wide top

but no Height
_________________________________________________________________

Does anybody have any suggestions on how tall it should be?

or any other suggestions at all post em up!!!! haha

Here's a few pics of the one im modeling it off of

the subs im buying are coming with a box but i want a box that stretches the width of the truck so it has 1 sub behind the driver and the other behind the passenger..

Also is it better to make the box angled like his or have a perfect rectangle??

and is it better to have the subs facing Upward or Forward???

Sorry bout all the questions im just trying to clarify cuz this will be my first sub box build and i want it to sound Decent and Look good Too

Thanks in advance!

The floor is angled so I would make the box the same way

That's what i was thinking ans i'm also thinking that making it about 18"-19" tall should be good but i'm gonna wait see what others say and go pick up the supplies on Thursday or Friday

just measure behind your seat to see what ya got, and angle it back. Should be able to make it out of a 4x8 sheet of mdf

Yeah i think i might it depends on the actual size of the box... i i want something that is the width of the truck instead of having something in the middle so well see!!!! i might even Diamond Plate the whole box that would be cool!!! Im still playing with all my ideas but i like the Custom look better than anything ya know?
