[QUOTE="evanp, post: 8872812, member: 691030"] When I said down firing I mean the subs are pointed downwards, I'm going to make a 1" spacer between the sub and the trunk floor, that way when tbe subwoofer is hitting and moving back and forth, it won't hit the trunk floor. Instead of cutting an actual hole in the trunk floor for the subs, I'm going to use a drill and drill rows of holes until the trunk floor almost makes a mesh pattern. This will protect any rocks or Debris from hitting the subs as they will be otherwise exposed to the undercarriage. Think what the grill looks like on a GMC Denali. I'm going t2o put a pattern like that in a hole shape for each of the 3 subs. If I were to use an mdf speaker box (like the one I made), I wouldn't have enough volume for 3 subs. If I used the trunk itself as a box, I'd have copious room for 3 subs. This brings me back to my original dilemma, how can I make a template of the exact angles of the trunk so I can make a plexiglass panel to seal off the subs? If viewing the trunk from the top (birds eye view) there's no straight lines, there's a mild curve on the parts that almost appear straight. If viewing the trunk from the side, the back of the trunk slants at an angle. It's pretty complicated and I need to make a very snug surface. Once again, this MDF template is close but no cigar and it took me around 5 hours to make it! [/QUOTE]
