You need to calculate all the sizes etc..

Its not as easy as "just make a box from MDF".

Theres a computer program to help you calculate it.. try http://www.talkaudio.co.ukwww.talkaudio.co.uk and the forums on there.

Cardboard box templates - cut to size, lay out flat and transfer to MDF.

Make sure that after youve glued your box and let it dry - run some silicon sealer from the inside on all the joins. Then carpet it.

If i was doing it: Best to make a false floor to sink your amp in flush, shouldnt be hard. Bolt the false floor down to the car - fix your bass box to the false floor and hey presto.

I built my own box, pretty easy once you have worked out the size you need.

As for the terminal, I got mine from http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr3002.htmlCybermarket.co.uk.

making your own box is very simple

internal dimensions divided by 2768 (iirc) gives you the volume in litres

not rocket science, and if you can use a jigsaw, then you can make an enclosure perfect for your sub
