[QUOTE="technotic, post: 8820132, member: 687269"] Thank you for the detailed info. I'm fine with assembling it inside the vehicle. It does make sense that it would be easier. I don't plan to remove the box. If the speaker is facing the cabin then I should be able to fold my seats down to gain access for removal or repair. If I use the 24x20" panel to mount the speaker into, I could always make it detachable so that I pop that off and then I have full access to the speaker, simply disconnect the wires and the panel and speaker should be able to slide out once turned. Aside from repairs, it would be easy to replace that panel if or when I change speakers, so I wouldn't have to try adapting the old mount hole. If I choose a permanentish enclosure, it would definitely be beneficial to use the inner trunk-area vehicle shell as part of the enclosure, but I assume I'd have to spray or coat those areas and remove upholstery that's there already. Would you recommend going that route for building the enclosure into the vehicle? My spare tire cavity is also unused at the moment. I haven't picked up a matching spare wheel after doing my wheels and tires, the donut would not be usable. If I don't use the body as part of the enclosure then i guess I'd be cutting panels so they maximize available space. But obviously the need to be securely fastenable as well. You've given me another angle to look at, thank you. [/QUOTE]
