[QUOTE="imsickofweed, post: 8643636, member: 668971"] Escape is a unibody, but I had the cable and the lugs, so I did it. I know I could fit a giant box in the back and take it out when needed, but sometimes I dont know when Im going to load up the back, and I like being a little on the stealth side. Ive started measuring for the box with the twin SA6.5 SW, I got the cardboard templates cut for the ends at the door and center console. I was able to add a few inches of height to level the box out with the seat as its folded down. I dont really have a way to calculate the volume, but my guesstimate says its more than 0.7ft3. Ill build 5 sides to the blox and then fill up with sand or packing peanuts or whatever to get it exact. Im going to try and avoid fiberglass, but some of the cuts are going to be hard so Ill probably end up doing some fiberglass filler and a layer to stiffen it up. Subs will be down firing, just have to figure out how much room Im going to need for the down fire. I decided against running ports under the front seat and will do a slotted port on the top of the box. My calculator says I need it 28” long, area 8in2 for the manufacturers recommended frequency of 32Hz. Ill start a new thread and add some pictures so everyone can tell me Im doing it wrong. I was thinking of doing 1/2” birch to gain some extra volume and then fiberglassing the inside to get it stiffer. Im not sure 3/4” or 5/8” is necessary for 400-450w of 6.5s, what do you think?
