What do you think about this sub box?

Use MDF board man. I have built a few boxes but angles are difficult. Also, I want a ported one and thats a whole different ball game than building a sealed box.

I have a similar sealed box already under there. It fits very snug. If I buy this one, ill be putting my sealed one up for sale.

Most of these boxes are made for certain airspace for the acoustic value of the speaker. Being off by an 1"....or the wrong angle can dramatically change the quality of the sub and sound from it. Not trying to tell u what to do....but spend a few extra $$$ and be happy with the sub enclosure you buy....

Back bench seat under it.Dude I'm winging it this weekend.Just using my trusty Ole tape measure man,lol.I will measure length,width and depth and go from their.Just remember to make a port hole for air in the box.I just plan on using particle board,rug to line it and run my wiring thru the back.So again,basically winging it,lol

I built a pretty sweet custom enclosure for my 94 Ranger that fits in the space where the drivers side jump-seat went. I used a 10" Memphis Audio sub, and it sounds killer! I can post a couple pics of the box if anyone is interested... Speaking of, can I post images from my HDD? Or do they need to "hosted" online somewhere first?

for 80 bucks, I'd leave it up to the professionals, buy the pre-made box...for some reason it never turns out the same...if you've done it before then i'd say go for it, but the few people I know who have made their own boxes sounded like sh*t...their not that expensive, cut a corner somewhere else ha!!!!!

Just like 08REDFX stated, you need to check the requirements of the subwoofer you plan to use, then you can use a sub enclosure calculator (you can find several online) for what basic shape you are going to build. If you do not have the right amount of airspace it will sound like crap! You can make up for small miscalculations in airspace by adding or removing Polyester Fiberfill otherwise known as polyfill. Check here for some good info on making a small box sound "big"...

I would seriously recommend the downfiring system. The most clean sound I've ever heard... I have two 10"s in a downfiring box under the back seats. The only thing is, is that they don't work properly if the seats are locked down- so I keep them unlocked, but it's not noticeable. Plus, no one ever sits in my back seats anyway...
Anyhow, I've missed ya Trey Married yet? lol
