lol, It would have cost you less than 24 bucks to fix it correctly now.

I've been thinking about doing something liek this, but i have a box/drawer setup in my cargo area. With the plastic removed. the sub can be mounted higher than what is shown in most of these setups, correct?
I would have to measure the height of my box. It does fit in between the wheel wells so I know I have room for that. Would also need a grille/guard to protect it. If anyone, who has made a solid box, has cad files for it please send me a link or PM me your info to get it from you. Thanks. I have some 3/4" MDF that I used for shelving on my metal rack that I can cut and build the box. Thanks.

here is my version of a cubbyhole sub box, its a 10 inch kicker i got from fry's for $50 run by a dual 300 watt amp i picked up new for $30 all connected by a KnuKonceptz 8g amp wiring kit i picked up for $28 shipped. all of that plus the materials i built the box out of (fiberglass and mdf) I have under $150 in the setup. the "port" is there so i could put a screw into the plastic to help hold the box.

This is not a true cubby box but it works really well for me. The CAD drawing is for a 12" speaker with less than 5.25" mounting depth. Moving the speaker to the right 1" will allow for a larger mounting depth. It's roughly 1.5 cu ft. It sounds pretty good for what it is.

Generally speaking never mount an amp to your enclosure. Not only does it subject the amp to endless vibrations but it also makes it easier for thieves to take it all in one easy grab. If you cannot make an amp rack simply bolt it to the back of the rear seat.

Their higher ends subs are still high quality. Amps as well. Like every brand they have lower end lines. Unlike most brands, kickers lower end lines are better than most. Not a brand I personally use but have installed my fair share.

I plan on using alpine to match my 6.5 speakers, but I still need someone to make the box, but which is best ported or not ported

Pm me with cost and shipping to 22601
