Truck boxes?

[Injected54 10+ year member]

I have a 97' extended cab ram I drive through the cold months and looked for a box for awhile and there isn't a lot of choices for our trucks with keeping all our seating. Ebay has a few boxes, their all sealed though. There isn't much room to work with under the seat of the second gen rams (1991 - 2001) cause of the way the floor rises up towards the bench seat in the rear. If ya raise it too much ya loose alot of head room, I only raised my seat 1 1/4" so adults can still sit in the back without hitten their head on the ceiling, and so I could slide the box a little farther under the seat for more leg room. I bought a sealed, front firing box, took some wood glue sealed all the seams, put 2 12's in it , and some fishman grills so no one would hit the subs. Can always get a custom box made too. I had some priced locally and they wanted way too much for one so I just went with a prefab. Not sure if your willing to do it but you can always do a blow through also, here's a link to a blow through and a few pre fabbed boxes.

I'd want it to look stock, hold one 12" sub, and basically replace the center seat with a box. I'd ideally like it to be down firing, and would like to still have the functionality of the center arm rest/storage.

Exactly like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-Box-Dodge-Ram-Custom-Sub-Box-Subwoofer-Enclosure_W0QQitemZ190195749009QQihZ009QQcategoryZ50565QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Alright, well I'll get pics and measurements tomorrow. What all do you need? I've never built a box before, so I don't really know what you're looking for.

I just received my box from them and I have to say, the quality is very nice. Friendly people and quick delivery.

How hard would it be to make it myself? (the center console enclosure).

Also, how much do fiberglass jobs usually run? And is it hard to do by yourself?
