Their are many ways to build your speaker box and amp. Everybody has their own opinions on what they like. Here is mine, my box sits in the back, its not flush. My amps are on the hump. Maybe more people will post pics, so you can see what other systems look like.

Mine just sit in the well, with the amp where the spare tire should go. Nice and clean, no wires showing, most of it is kept hidden so people wont steal it.

I dont have the measurements, but I am pretty sure someone posted ones that are pretty much the same a little while back, do a search for box measurements and you should find em.

Hey right on thats my page! Ya it wasnt to hard but it was messy,,,,,do what i did but you should not use the fiberglass with the hair in it till you make a shell with just the matting and the clear resin first (and it drys),,then youll have somthing to slap that heavy goopy kitty hair stuff to with out it all falling in on you,,,gravity sucks sometimes!!

yah, that box was cool.. thats something i never would have thought about. i do alot of fiberglassing.. manipulate pwc's and boating, automotive etc etc.. i used your tek with my buddys 1990 vw corrado ( better to try it on his car then mine ) we installed 1 x 15" earthquake retail 750.. and a 1k vibe amp.. retail pretty cheap heh.. it rocks.. but i think next time.. im going to run some baffels and leave a lip on the fiberglass, so after i install the subs i can invert them and make it a bandpass fiberglass combo.. ill post pics tonite

DOPE! I hate when that happens.
