Now I am not sure of the truck dimensions or even where to find that out. The sub is an MA Audio HK12X2 here are the sub specs as best as i can find.

i can work out a plan for youif you can measure your trunk with the top down for MAX demensions. just so you know, we will prolly need to go on the small side of that area.

I Know I Am Guessing That 1.5cu/ft Is The Max For My Trunk The Box Needs To Be More Long Than Tall , I Am Thinking Of Mounting The Sub In The Front Of The Box I Am Afraid If It Goes On Top There Won't Be Enough Clearance.

He's probably looking for height of your trunk, depth of it, and how wide it is. Or Possibly the max you want those to be not sure.

 

[sanmarcosZfreak 10+ year member]

thats correct he needs the maximum sizes the box COULD be

 

[jalverson 10+ year member]

hmmm, well if you have ever seen a trunk like mine it is oddly shaped to say the least. i will just grap a bunch of meaurements as well as a pic or two, and hope that is enough. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
