Default Tool box

Thinking of building a tool box platform for the cargo area and incorporate a mount for my subs and amp. I have two 10s Id like to be able to keep. Question is what dementions should I use I have no idea how to build a sub box so I need some help. I know I want it to fold up to open it I dont want any sliding compartments and I want to mount to to the jeep somehow and for it to be able to with stand getting wet.

I'd use MDF for at least the sub box portion. The sub box portion also needs individual sealed chambers for each sub.

Check the airspace specs online for that model of sub and design accordingly.

I know but these where given to me and I am focusing almost all of my extra money on my build. I just bought a no slip powertracks locker and light brackets from the guys at FJO for a 135 instead of getting subs. I think it was a much better buy and my subs seem to do pretty good with my little 150watt 2 channel amp. But I do plan on eventually getting a set of rockford fasgate shallow mount 10s or maybe a shallow mount 12 and a new amp since mine cant be bridged.
