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?

So no one with a 05-08 mustang has built a box for their subs?

We really do not get alot of people building boxes on here, and not any that really design them either.  To find that angle I would use an angle finder that is available at most home depot's.  It is just two flat pieces that are mounted to each other on the ends.  You put it in the space that you want to find the angle for, tighten down the screw that holds the two pieces together and it has a scale on the side that you can read(like a protractor in degrees) to find the number of degrees in that angle.

I would be happy to help you design a box by giving you the equations you would need to solve.  I am more of the type of person to teach ya how to fish rather then just give ya a fish....

Ok maybe you can help. I want a dual 10' sub box, sealed. I would like it to look just like the boxes anarchy customs builds. My subs are kicker cvr's. they each need .8cuft min-3cuftmax. I would use 3/4 mdf board. The specs from kicker for a single box are 13.5x13.5in (front and rear), 13.5x10.125 (top and bottom sides), 12x10.125 (left and right sides). This is for my 07 Gt. So the box has to fit on that weird upward angle. I'm not sure of how tall it can be in the trunk. But I don't want it very big since it has to fit past the tail lights to fit in my trunk.

You can turn it sideways when putting it in...

I think Anarchy is just some dude. Looks like decent work though.



If this is the one your talking about, it's not just MDF he made that from I hope you know, and if you have never built a subwoofer enclosure let alone worked with fiberglass, don't expect it to turn out like this.

Ya that is one of his boxes. I know he built his with fiberglass. I don't want to do that. It's nice but I just want to build a basic mdf box, and carpet it. Do you have the dimensions on that box? Like H,W,L?

No, I just did a search and could only find pictures from him on myspace.com

And the box isn't that big, its not much bigger than that actual part that is fiberglass, the carpeted face is just a board thats there to create the false wall look, you could easily find the dimensions of the carpeted part by opening your trunklid equipped with a piece of paper, pen and tape measure.  How do you think he got the dimensions?

If your too lazy to figure out the recommended airspace for your subs and figure out what is best are you really going to go and build your own box?

Do a search on ebay, or go check out the prefab boxes at your local shop.  You could have figured it out on your own a long time ago and had it done by now.

True ttocs I could have just as easily measured my car to get the dimensions. But if someone already built a box to spec, why not just have them help me out and give me their box dimensions. Makes sense right.

I guess....  Didn't mean to be a d!ck but you need to desing your box for the subs you are going to use.  A box is not a box is a box is not a box.

The first step in designing it is to decide if you want a sealed, or ported box.  you need to decide what you want from the system, spl or sq?

From that you need to find out the recommended airspace for the subs(sealed or ported), as well as the displacement of the speaker(how much space the magnet takes up in the box).  These two numbers are normally included with the sub, or available at their website.  Find these two things and we will go from there unless you think that someone is now suddenly going to puke up the dimensions for you after a week????

I get annoyed when people come on here with questions that for me to answer would require reading their manual.  Which fuse is blown ect????  If you can't read your manual I have found very few people here that will do it for you, or that you would want to do for you..........

Ok I want a sealed box. I know my subs need a min .8cuft, 3cuft max. The manual tells me the dimensions for a single box. The single sealed box at .8cuft airspace is top 13 7/16in., bottom 16 7/16in., height 14in., width 28 1/2in. Do I just multiply the numbers for a dual box? The mounting depth is 5 9/16 in. The hole cut out is 9 1/4in. Thanks for the help. First box I am going to attempt to make with 3/4 mdf board.

This is for a single box. I need a dual box for both of my 10's. How should I build it?
The single sealed box at .8cuft airspace is top 13 7/16in., bottom 16 7/16in., height 14in., width 28 1/2in.

First off any subwoofer that has a box size ranging from .8 cubes to 3 cubes, well it's Kicker so I don't know why I even bothered pointing that out.

You have the box dimensions for one woofer. Your asking how to make it for two...

You should be buying a box thats made my friend.

P.S. Those dimensions give you a 2.6 cube enclosure.

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

luckydawg003, I can't really blame them. If you want to share the space [so you don't have to make a dual-chambered which increases the size of the box a little], you ideally double the amount of air space your subs need. .8cuft-3cuft is a HUGE difference. I'd go with what they give you, around 2.25cuft-2.6cuft.

Good luck.

Post pictures when you're done.



EDIT:: that's 2.25cuft-2.6cuft per sub. So whatever you choose, multiply it by two.
(Remember, the more air space, the more space your driver can move, thus higher output. However, I believe the higher the space, and the more your driver goes to it's highest point, the more it gets worked. Thus, will inevidably last for less time. But, I don't believe that much less time. As long as you stick in the range of what they give you, uou shouldn't even have to worry)

I can't get a already made box, because it won't fit thru the small trunk opening. I have already considered that option. I want more of a custom box that fits closest to the rear seats, going on top of the upward slop that my trunk has. But if you guys aren't going to help, I'll just ask another forums site.
