Custom sub box ideas??
I saw one post with someone who built a really nice, but large, custom subbox for the back. i was wondering if anyone has seen anything else that i can get some ideas from. I have a2dr so i dont wanna lose too much space. Maybe thinking of utilizing the rear storage area and building up a little.

This is my first go at custom on the JK. Waiting for a decent price on HU before I go full out and change the front end.

This box is 12x12x25 an fits the split seat perfectly.
The other box I looked at was this one: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=267-140
Similar size as mine but the top is half the top depth of mine. I actually prefer the dimensions of mine. I can lay my golf bag over the back and the box is sturdy enough to carry it easily.

nice and simple. prob sounds good with those 2 subs. Im thinkng of something a little more elaborate and possibly some fiberglas work too, but not huge. Maybe just one single JL sub or Alpine TypeR. well see what works.
thanks.
thanks.

I'm thinking about using that compartment in the trunk so i dont lose much space and its out of site. Mount the amp under the driver side cause I dont move my seat much.

have you seen the new Alpine PDX digital amps. . they are the smallest high power ams ive seen adn they draw less power and can stack like legos.... really cool for tight spaces.

The equipment id like to use:
single SWR-1222D sub in some custom fiberglas box using the rear floor truck space. mount the two amps in the back of that enclosure. PDX-1.600 and PDX-4.100 for the speakers. SPR-17S 6.5 components for the front and for the soundbar.
as for the HU, im still torn between just using the factory or goin all out and doing the Alpine W205 (updated version of the 200) with the Nav system.... humm so much money to spend so little time to earn it first.. :-)

have you though about using the rear seat? i am dying to know if you can hollow some fill out of it and build a box in there. 33engineering did some for the Tj's. i think they had a box that you could fit a pair of the 10" JL slims in.

I know you were talking about using that floor trunk space, so unless you're permanently mounting the enclosure down there, I would keep those amps elsewhere - otherwise that might work.
