:help: hello all, new member here. i have a 97 cc, and i want to build a sub box for my jl audio's. was wondering if anyone has built one to fit under the club cab rear seats. i was giong to get a thunderform box from a guy in vegas, but he keeps b.s.ing me on when he is going to send, so im just going to build my own. any help would be great. thanks
 
why not just buy the box. thought mtx made them for your style truck. just get the unloaded box, fill it with your speakers and the amp. just be sure your speakers can work with that style box, and that the cu. ft. volumes is on target with your subs. :biggthump

btw, welcome to the site! :wave:

What you're talking about is the thunderform box that he just said we wasn't going to get.


Are you going to be doing fiberglass or just MDF?
 
well if hes dead set on building his ouw, id say use mdf. fiberglass would need alot of reinforcing (or so ive read about). if its not done in a good way, itll rattle like a SOB. for me though, i would just get the box, and be done with it. bad enough im going through my own turmoil here with this mtx box im trying to custom color...gotta do it all over again...well, just the face piece where the speakers bolt to. damn paint flacked off. so now im going to get an orbital sander, sand the face of he box smooth and start again... :rant:

oh well :sorry:

Make sure you buy some acetone and clean very thoroughly where you are going to paint. This will remove any grease or oil and keep it from flaking or fisheyeing.

Someone just posted this site the other day and I've found it to be very informative. I don't know much about building boxes, but these guys do.
