Help! On design of box for truck!

[gerardc 10+ year member]

I am building a box for my 05' dodge dakota club cab. I took the center console out and am going to fabricate a new center with iPod slot and two 8' in pioneer primier subs towards the back. My problem is putting it on paper so I can build it. can't think of the body to build. can anyone help me with a little bit of planning?

well if you can put it on paper. you maybe able to put it on card board, then cut it out and use it as a template to see how it looks. make the full enclosure out of cardboard first. it may sound like a waste of time. but its realy a very smart way to go. that way you can figure, the enclosure volume at hand, if you need more volume or less, if you can actualy fit the equipment or not. if you like the shape or not and its easy to modify., etc....
