Sub enclosure

A while ago someone posted a thread about selling a sub box that was custom made to fit in our civics. I tried to find it and could not. If anyone has heard of this and can help me find it or if anyone has made a custom box for our cars email me soon. Thanks. incapearl01@kc.rr.com [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

custom is a very general term.

when you want custom, you are talking about specialized work that will fit only your car, sometimes only YOUR EXACT car.

when i built a box to fit my trunk, it had maybe 1/4 an inch of clearance. however, i raised my floor three inches and turned my trunk springs upside down. i have no idea if it would fit a stock coupe, but it only fits in teh sedan cause the sedan trunk is HUGE in comparison.

what kind of custom work were you looking for?

what I mean by custom is when you look in the coupe's trunk you see 2 12" subs facing you in a box that fits perfectly up against the rear of the rear seats, with no gaps on the right or left sides!

ill be honest with you, i completely stopped doing measurements when it comes to full custom boxes for a car. I will trim the piece down till it is a perfect fit. so no.

easiest way to do something like what you want is to start making cutouts using cardboard so you know what you need to cut, then you can fit that onto a sheet so you know how much wood you need to buy and even what shape to cut it into.

thats generally what i do when i build a custom box.

I want the style that fit against the back of the seats and goes all the way to the sides, and it makes it look like you have a smaller trunk, the oneson the floor make it where u can't really use your trunk
