raytard Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 i'm on my third in-trunk build option 1) slide it in through the backseat. i know the hole is too small, break out the grinder, cut the metal, slide the box in, and weld it back most people will never do this, but it is an option.... option 2) design it, cut it, dry fit it, and dry fit it in the trunk like someone else said. If you watch how each piece meets you save yourself a hell of alot of frustration. make the sides the full height so you can screw through them into the top and bottom. make the front and rear the full height and width, so you can screw straight in and into the top/sides (if you want to double baffle, make one fit inside and the other one outside, assemble them out of car and then screw it in as one assembly with a shitton of glue) basically consider how you can screw it all together, atleast in my experience joints with just glue and no screws to hold it tight and exact while drying are the weak points, and with lvl5's you dont want weak points if you decide after the fact to brace, use a car jack and like a brick or scrap 2x4 to jack the box apart like a little bit, slide your brace, covered in glue, into position (the little bit its jacked apart allows you to twist it into place...) and then let the jack down, clamping it in place. i've had to do this twice now because i underestimated the goddamn power of dc subs, lol.

OrionStang Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Kreg jig is sounding nice. To Raytard; Im going to brace the shit out of this thing. The xl I got now would be tearing my current box apart without the extra bracing I put in it. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 i dont think a kreg will help that much, its so much easier to just have the front and rear overlap everything, and the sides overlap the top and bottom, than it is to kreg everything... and brace the shit out of it, lol. break out the 2x4's my box right now has the top and bottom tied together with a 2x4, the sides and back tied together with the ports, and the front double baffled. everything is braced somehow and the xl still flexes it a bit.

SGTSKIP Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thats what im thinkin. Do like a mock build and then glue everything together inside the trunk. Do you have any helpful tips or things you would have done differently? It is a little bit of a pain to do it, but.... 1. put plastic down first... you can pull it out later. 2. most of your screws will be done from INSIDE the box, pre-drill everything. I used 1x1's to screw everything togeather. 3. make sure you Glue the hell out of it, and use fiberglass to make sure its sealed up, leaking boxes suck. 4. Sell your car with the box, just put some other subs and a cheaper amp in it. Do the bottom and sides, front and back first so you can screw and glue and glass it. The top panel is last. Hire a midget "Dont let him bite you or you will turn into one", to glue, screw, and glass the top of the box from inside... that part sux. Dont leave the midget inside the box!!! Make your trim panels to suit how you want it to look.... Have fun Steven Quote Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.p Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 you shouldnt even need toglass into the trunk for 2 12's that is a very small box... Quote DCAUDIO BALLS DEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac58 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 you shouldnt even need toglass into the trunk for 2 12's that is a very small box... I disagree i have box I assembled in my trunk currently. Because of the box position I had to glass everything because I could barely drill any screws.

OrionStang Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) you shouldnt even need toglass into the trunk for 2 12's that is a very small box... Apparently, you havn't tried to get a box into a Mustang trunk. Im only tryin to get info from guys who have done a 'build in the trunk' box. No offense Mr P, but this opening is rediculous. And keep in mind I need enough airspace for two lvl5s. Edited February 28, 2010 by OrionStang Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
