i'm confused how do you know what size the box is inside or know what size it will be when you've build it

i want to make a box for my 12" sub but i want it to the side of the boot space and want to use the contour's of the boot side and i've no idea how to calulate the air space

any body help

how are u going to make it fit all the contonurs? if it were me id prob fibreglass it to fit erfectly, then build the sides out of mdf to make a 5 sided box. id then fill it with enough sand to fill the space u want the box to be and then level it and mark it out. then id put the final side on here to the box

think i'm going to do what you said James@CCC and then work out the Cu Ft how loo-goblin said that way it'll be spot on

am i right in thinking that the 34 litres inclueds (sp) the depth of the sub

the boxes wont be as accurate as itll cut off the corners. the sand idea will be spot on.

and yes, i believe the 34 litres is the size of the box it needs, u dont need to worry about the depth as they work it out for u
