Default Custom Cherokee speaker box

Dont know if any of you have tried this. I decided to build a speaker box that utilizes the pocket on the passenger side of the hatch area. I wanted one that stayed out of the way of all my junk in the back, instead of just a box. I know theres quite a few photos, but I like pictures.

I like it. How do you plan on attaching it to the plastic panel? Report back on sound.

Im on my work computer so I dont get pictures but I know there are a couple different companys out there who make a sub box for that little space. Quadratec sells them. The only downfall to theres is that it only holds an 8" woofer.

That is some nice work. Would work with the proper speaker type.

Also the one quadratec sells is just cheap plastic.

That is a great job and great idea. I dee jay and haul my sound equipment around back there so no room for a conventional box. How much time and $$ did that project cost you?
Did you do both sides or are you vexed with a spare on the other side too?

Very well done!! You don't happen to have a template do you? Or perhaps some drawn dimensions you could share. I kinda wanna make one of those now.
