iwnichols09 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Looks good. Thanks would u prefer birch or mdf?? Quote Ian Nichols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think MDF will suffice but if you can afford birch then why not, I have yet to provide bracing information which is really necessary for those subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyG2 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 That box might be too deep for the port to breath! Quote *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyG2 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 If your 2000 explorer has the same cargo area as my 1998 mountaineer, here's my dimentions: This is here mostly for my own reference, so that I don't have to remeasure again:Plastic molding on floor in from of hatch, edge where carpet stops to hatch: 3.5" Top of Rear Seat to edge of plastic molding: 36" Bottom of rear seat to plastic molding: 38" Inside wheel well to inside wheel well: 42" Floor to top of rear seat (at a 90' angle, not length of the back of seat): 19" Door opening width (Thinnest point): 47" Door opening Height: 33" Inside wheel well to side panel: 4.5" Height of floor to roof (Highest Point): 36" Quote *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Right iwnichols09 you need about 4 inches of free space in front of the port, make sure you have that, if you don't it can be done a little taller and not as deep just to let the port breathe. I have reduced to 38" deep see if that helps. Edited June 19, 2012 by Joe X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
