need tips and advise to build box in trunk

[ringspun09]

i need tips and advise for the best way to build a box in my trunk. i have to build it and assemble it in the trunk because of the size and shape but i was wondering once i cut all my pieces how can i screw it together and glue it once in the trunk since it will take up the full width and hight ? any tips or tricks would be great

clamps.

and design it around the use of said clamps.

Glue > screws. screws are only there to hold it together while the glue dries.

It allows you to drill and screw from the inside.

Maybe do a split box? I mean top and bottom halves built separately and re-united in trunk.... I have done a few enclosures like this. Both of mine I was able to build a bottom box 2/3 of the height and then build the top. Put a piece of mdf on the inside of bottom half sticking up to give yourself something to fasten top piece to and then put on face plate last.

I've done a split box design like this before for someone who shall remain nameless. top secret stuffs lol (and 150 out of a non sealed off trunk car )

can't find where i saved the actual design, that was the concept i did for the guy to show what i was talking about, sharing port area to save space.

Well I was already planing on doing a 3 piece box top main and rear do to it basically being a L shape box. What do you mean design it around the use of clamps?

I Do a dry fit of the box, then add cleats to one side and screw it to the other side. time consuming, but once the glue drys its not coming apart.
