heh heh..
like i said guys, this was my first i'm REALLY new to this..
all my figuring and drawing was done by hand
Booo..yer asking for shyt outta my league pal..(for now anyway [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG])

Machina, if you know the specs for the subs (do you want ported or enclosed) it's easy..
mine were 2 cubic feet per sub ported so i took 12"x12"x24" and doubled it..then just did the math to accomodate the size i had in the back of the car..
12"x18"x32"

but ya, if you can find out the specs on each sub, lemme know and i'll figure it out (seeing as you have the same car it'll be easy )
ya want 1/2" or 3/4" MDF??

Did you use any programs to tune your box?

It's a 4th order bandpass with sub on the inside. My new box once it gets built will be a ported box.

nah..the subs and ports are from the old box that was in my pickup..
the shop that built it at the time should have used spec MTX sizes, so all should be good if i used them too..
and if there are any slighties that need to be done, i'll just stuff it a tad..

4th order..nice!!
if i can't fit this thing in i'll be doing the same

mine cost me $40 for 3/4" MDF and 4 cuts (first 6 were free) and 1 1/4" drywall screws..
and i still have a 18"x48" piece left over that i have to use for a desk upstairs..
add 1/4 can of paint (basic cheapie latex..$20 a can breaks down to $5..and i did use 5 coats on it..)
the rest is just labor and electricity..
so it cost me about $50 tops..
