It's a 8" RE dvc. Due to the space restrictions behind the trim panel my calculated air space was like .03 cf smaller than recommended, but it still sounds great.


Thanks for the compliment.

IIRC It calculated out at .29 ish and the sub displaced .03 per the spec sheet. due to the odd shape of the enclosure my calculations are probably off a lil.

Homebrew sub box/utility box. Too bad my jeep got broken into 2 weeks later and now the woofer, amp and deck are long gone.

square tubing cut in half (its all i had) bent to form the rails on the roof then used stainless sheet metal screws (4 in each mount) to screw it to the rails. It's a lot stronger that what you would think.

Heres a better view

Good lookin' rack man, I like the design and the material for the floor. The design for your sub box is a little bulbous, but hey - it's a 12"

I broke one of the little hinges on the ashtray lid. The pictures show what I did to fix that. Also found one of the original Chrystler keys and $2 in change under the center console

Well if I think what he did was put offroad light bars where the amber lights used to be and then moved the ambers in to the grill, it looks pretty cool. Nice way to keep a more stock and smooth look!
