Need a box built. For reals. I have monies.

I need a box built. It's going to be for a 1993 F150 and I'm having difficulty trying to build one without tools.. lol. I really just don't have time or space at school. Here is a very rough sketch of what I would like it to look like. Carpet is not necessary. If you can find better dimensions somewhere of somebody that had a box put in their old f150 that would be great, but I just went out there with a tape measure and did what I could. let me know if you would be interested and a price. i already pm'd bjfish and i'm also waiting on a response for that. thanks!!11111111

You failed to mention the subs you plan to use...... so hard for anyone to offer a better design....

And please dont spell like a 2 year old

It shouldn't matter, but I'm using re8's. I gave the dimensions I needed and the sub cutout size.

Also, there isn't one misspelled word in my original post, so what the hell are you talking about?

Ooooooh, I misspelled monies and reals. Sorry..

The subwoofer does matter because given the dimensions of the enclosure for the subwoofers your using you didn't even think for one moment if the subwoofer's would or wouldn't fit mounting depth wise.

If you actually gave it a thought at all, you would have discovered that the motor/magnet would come into contact with the interior back of the enclosure, ergo, the subwoofer will not mount to the front baffle regardless of how low you dropped the subwoofer on the front.

So, this means that you or whomever would have to remove material from the interior back of the enclosure in order to the sub to have mounting depth clearance.

OR

Increase the bottom depth or increase the top depth of the enclosure so you have mounting depth clearance.

I'm sure BJ has already informed you about the issue.

The mounting depth of an re8 is only 4" and I have a depth of 6" at the bottom of the box. Are you saying it still wouldn't work? Not being a smart ***, just asking.

Yes, if the enclosure as designed is used with 18" H with a top depth of 2" and bottom depth of 6", there's no way the mounting depth of that subwoofer is going to fit unless following things are done.

Remove material at the point the subwoofer magnet will come into contact with the interior back of the enclosure to gain clearance.

Increase the top depth to gain the clearance

Increase the bottom depth to gain the clearance

Increase both the top & bottom depths equally to gain the clearance.

If the subwoofer were mounted as low as possible on the front, you would still have to do one of the things as noted above.

you only have 4.5 inches at its deepest point...te very bottom.

2-3 inches up and the sub magnet is hitting the back wall

when someone that knows what they are talking about tells you something, then perhaps you should listen a little

Well really, you will have 4.5" internal depth, but 5.25" mounting depth at the deepest part. Correct? Its Friday... lol

OK, since there's seems to be doubters to this, here ya go:

There's two design details here at are done to exact scale with SketchUp.

The dimensions are noted for the enclosure using 3/4" MDF and the RE 8 subwoofer info taken directly from RE's website as to the physical dimensions for that subwoofer.

As both clearly show where the sub is mounted in baffle, it's plain as day that the top part of the magnet is beyond the interior back of the enclosure, therefore the d@mn subwoofer doesn't have the mounting depth needed.

Now, if anyone thinks I'm wrong.... serve it up, prove me wrong.

Wow, people are getting a little heated. I never doubted, just said that I needed an explanation because I didn't fully understand it. Now I do (and I do appreciate the sketchup Mr Cab). I'll go back out in the morning and see what my absolute maximum dimensions are. If I were to increase the height and depth by an inch (19, 3 and 6), do you think that would work? Thank you in advance.
