seight311, ttocs, I've known you guys to be good people. But you guys are being straight d**ks right now.




first, both of you welcome to the forum.  Don't insult my integrity or call me names bacause if you follow the posts on the forum you will see that I am willing to go more then my half of the way to help people with their questions.  I take the time to point people in the right direction and show them tips and tricks that I have learned in the last 15 yrs installing from basic wiring to more advanced custom stuff, anything I can do to help to be honest.  If you walked into my shop to ask these questions I could charge for this info and I would really love to know how much money I have saved people on these forums ans with my cardomain page giving it away for free just because I enjoy it.  I don't need to do this and will not be called names for doing it for free...  I get tired of people that come on here and want me to do simple stupid shtuff that they are just too lazy to take care of themselfs and this is one of those cases.  Last week he said he started this post to get a design for a box he already has half of.  I am not flaming him and calling him a moron, I am simply trying to give him a kick in the but where he needs it.  We have newbs on here every week that I take care of, if they are willing to try and meet me at that half way point!

So one big box will not fit?  I bet two smaller boxes would?  Now where on gods green earth could you get a design for a box that would fit one of those subs you have(each) so you could load two boxes in your car, screw them together and then mount your speakers in the box(s).

Why would you build two seperate boxes and screw them together. That is the dumbest idea I have ever heard of.

Why can't we be friends???

LuckyDawg,

When you have two subwoofers, it's best to have them in separate chambers. Helps with your sound quality, and in case one sub goes bad, you can continue to use the box while you get a replacement.

There is no optimum size box for the subwoofers. Different boxes will produce different sound, that's why they give you a range to choose from.  The smaller boxes will produce a better quality sound. As you go larger, sound quality decreases, but it gets louder. It's really a compromise you have to find. 

I would recommend, since you have two subs, to go with the smaller size. You'll have plenty of bass anyways, the quality will be better, and you'll have some space left in your trunk.

In essense  you will be building two separate boxes, joined together at the hip. It's one big box with a total of 1.6cft with an airtight divider in the middle, spliting it into two separate .8cft boxes.

Hope that helps you...

ok, thats it, AFTER THIS I am done with this post.  I didn't know you could stack shtuff this high but this now has my nomination for the stupidest post of the year(i know it is early in the year but it has a chance).

lucky dawg, lean in real close so that I know you are listening.  Can you hear me now?

If that is a dumb idea to you then what do you have to put on the table?  One box to fit 2 12's is generally too big to fit into the hole of the trunk.  BUT, 2 smaller boxes will fit.  put the boxes in the car, screw them together, and then insert the woofers and if you do a good enough job building the box and putting them together you will not notice.  This also adds a bit of security since the box cannot be taken out of the trunk in one piece.  I have done this on a couple of buddy's cars to get by the small opening.

DIE POST DIE!!!!

Lol don't get all butt hurt ttocs, you sound like a dam baby. So anyways I am sure I can build a dual 10' box and fit it in the trunk. I just don't know how I can fit it in the very rear of the trunk. My car has sort of a ramp going from 2/3rds the way up the trunk and it has some big metal bar on the top going across the entire trunk length. So if I have to get past that the box is going to be very wierd shaped, it can't just be a square box.

Your a D-Bag, I wouldn't help you either.

Grow up, spend thousands and thousands of dollars over several years time, learn a ton of information on your own, blowing things up, installing things backwards, and buying junk equipment. Then come back in here in 5 years and spend your time being nice trying to help someone being a little prick like you.

You will not get the help your looking for with your attitude, and do not insult someone who is very experienced and also very helpful to you. You are clearly what, 17 years old. Stop trying to whine and cry to us like you were to your parents about getting you a new Mustang for a Memorial Day present. Just have it shipped up to Unique and have them "trick" it out for you, then you won't have to worry about the math or logic behind anything we try and help you with.

How do I build a box to fit on that upward angle? Can I build a triangle shaped box?




I like these boxes, Do you guys think it would be hard to guess the box dimensions and just build it however.

Seriously, this thread was the biggest waste of time I have ever read.

Here, buy this and be done with it:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-05-Sub-Subwoofer-Box-Enclosure-2x12_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38647QQihZ015QQitemZ250184038691QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

Has the front look you are going for minus the fiberglass.  Ask the guy to make it for your two 10"s.

I'm going to go try to learn something somewhere else.

Ok I Measured my trunk today. The trunk opening is 15.5 In. in length, 44 5/16 In. wide, and the other width is 24.5 In. in the front part of the opening. So I will have to angle the box to get it in. I want the box to go from the base of the hump up to the rear seats. Their is 16in of space their. I have about 39 in in the rear near the rear seats from side to side for the width, and about 43.5 In. in the front where the slope begins. At the top of the hump it is flat. I have only 12 In. of space from the flat part to the trunk roof, but at the front of the hump their is 19.5 to 20 In. of space from bottom to roof. Heres a diagram I made with my paint editor.

I'll be going to Lowes to buy 3/4 MDF board for like $23 for a huge piece of it. I can probably build 3 boxes with it. Don't worry I'll take pics and make a write up...you know actually being helpful to people looking for help.

Why are you posting this, just go make it and let us know how it goes.

Hey guys guess what I did today, I put T.I.'s: King in my cd player and listened to it. I removed it from the cd case with caution, took a guesstimate as to how far my hand holding the cd was from the cd player, winged it and made it in. The cd player then read the information encripted on the disc and displayed and played several tracks, all the way until I got home today.

Just looking to build a box for my 2 kicker cvr 10's. Anyone have the specs for the 07 mustang trunk space. My car has a wierd upward angle on the floor board in the trunk near the rear seats. How would I build a box to sit flat with that angle their?  


It only took you over two weeks. Brilliant!

Helped you what, measure your trunk?

You hop on Priceline and find me a one way ticket, while I go pack some socks and my tape measure. I just need to get there asap before you pick up a table saw and earn the nickname Knuckles.

so now that you have your measurements you need to calculate and determine the airspace of the box(internally - any bracing) and then take the displacement of the subs motor out.

How many cubic feet are you going to make it?

keep up the good work.
