[QUOTE="ahardy17, post: 6443964, member: 614748"] more of the box construction and body work in the trunk here's the inside of the box from the font/port side [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/002-2.jpg[/IMG] got the port in, pretty happy with the snug fit there, had to put my weight into it to slide it in [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/009-1.jpg[/IMG] rotozip with a metal cutoff wheel. FAR superior to a dremel tool, a tad quieter than my pneumatic one, and not quite the overkill a torch would be [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/014.jpg[/IMG] got that metal out of the way.. [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/016-2.jpg[/IMG] one spare tire bracket down... [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/019.jpg[/IMG] and then there were none. [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/020-1.jpg[/IMG] completed the box...found some issues. i made the port the size necessary to match the hole for the armrest and it consequently ended up being a lot longer than originally planned. so without re-measuring my trunk to see how it would fit i played around with dimensions in BBP6 and it ended up a little longer than i would have liked the biggest problem: subs are gonna be all over those trunk lid springs. unfortunately gonna have to take those guys out and get real crafty mounting a pair of pistons to open the trunk instead. to make matters worse my MIG welder is on the fritz and i might have to use the trusty old lincoln stick welder [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/025.jpg[/IMG] second issue: the port is a lot higher than the armrest hole. might have to re-do the port and use the outside wall of the box as the bottom port wall [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/ahardy17/028-1.jpg[/IMG] and the thing i cant really fix without starting over...the box hangs wayyyyy out into the trunk, kind of defeats the purpose of that shallow box up on the shelf...but at least its more trunk space and bass than before!
