custom sub box
hey guys, i'm trying to make my own box for my 10inch subs, the one i have now takes up the whole trunk. I was wondering if anyone had any adivce concerning materials and general construction of a box. In perfection i want to stick the 2 subs, one on each side of the trunk towards the back, right up against the rear seats, and have something to mount my aplifier in the middle between the 2. Any ideas, or suggestions about how to get this done, will be really appreciated.

RE: custom sub box
Im finishing one up now, but use 3/4" MDF. DO NOT USE PARTICAL BOARD as it flexes to much to work as a subwoofer box. Use lots of wood glue for strength and to seal it, if possible use brad nails to secure it while it dries.
My local car audio shop told me that if u put both subs in the same box it increase the overall DB level but its only like 5 Db so its not noticble with the human ear.
As far as doin it with an amp in the middle that could get complicated but i would just make the two separate boxes. then build something to hold the amp in the middle but still allow it to fit between the seats although thats a thight fit.
Good luck
