Gonna have to take out the spare tire. Tell me how much of the cargo area you'd want to use. I have the same year Grand Cherokee and my box is 40" wide and 30" right up to the back seats. Here's some pictures if you'd like to look...

i want it to be taller... what way would you face the subs? 2 15 in L7's... how do you tune a box.. i want it around 34- 38

You mean when you open up the back you want the subs to be facing you? Do you care about not having any cargo room? If you AIM or something I could help ya out.

in my 4runner, i put my sub facing UP and my port facing BACK. i think it adds a couple tenths on my score...

no

By this statement, you have qualified yourself as a n00b, and should no longer be taken seriously when it comes to boxes.I will give you props for owning a zj though.I love mine.

To the original poster, yes you can downfire them, but leave a little bit of room between them and the floor. 3"-6" will do.Let me know if you want correct info //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I told him I'd help him out and he just kept ignoring me. Sorry, I'm just impatient. What year is your ZJ by the way?

i just built a box for a guy's suv (don't remember the model) but the box was for a pair of 12's. i faced them down and the port back. it was a low wattage system...only like 400w going to them. sounded awesome. i used 2x4's on the sides to jack up the box a little and mounted the amps on the underside as well. i think the box was like 41 x 30 x 8 or something (external) and then the 2x4's on the sides making it under a foot tall. this was important to him because he does motocross and tosses all his gear on top of it. the port was in between the subs so the subs could be mounted towards one side (the port side) of the box leaving room for the amps on the other side.

ya make sure you leave some room, we had a box for 2 of the 15s in my friends bronco and only had it probably 2 inches from the floor, subs and port facing the floor, and it was alot quieter than facing up
