i was thinking the two twards the front would be at a angle and the two at the rear would face each other. my speakers recommended box size is .75 cu feet so i think i can work this out. there made for a smaller enclosure.

Landlord - .75 cubic feet will work great for a box like this. My sub was designed for .80 and I put it in .72 with a lot of Polyfil. I'm not so sure I would have two subs facing each other exactly - I don't know much about this, but it sounds like you might run into some cancellation problems on certain frequencies. I would talk to somebody who knows a bit more about the physics before you design it.
i talked to my local dealer to make sure and i was right when the speakers face each other the air compresses and when the bass drops it drops! (kind of like a band pass) im still working on this box, im in the design fase right now and so far so good. im having trouble with the cubic feet this is stuff i havent done sense i was in high school!! because of the way the 200sx's trunk is shaped this is proving difficult. my 91 would have been much easier! man i miss that car.

nice work samo! anyway, do you know about how much of the 4x8 sheet of mdf you used? i was wondering how much the whole thing, including new trunk floor, weighed. estimate? oh yeah, dig the wheels!
Thanks for the compliment. I probably used about 90% of the sheet including making the trunk floor. However, four panels went to waste in the process because I didn't cut a real great angle for the miter joints . I can't imagine the setup weighs less than 75lbs inc. the sub and amp. It's not light by any means. However, considering how extremely strong it is and how awesome it sounds, it's a reasonable trade-off. And the SE-R wheels tear it up, I love 'em!
I too dig your wheels. In fact, I plan on upgrading to a set of them bad boys myself.
Great install! Good use of space and very clean. I particularly like what you did with the trunk floor. I'm very interested in doing my trunk floor as you did yours. Any tips or advice you can give? (Or even better... web links )
Thanks Samo
Keep up the good work.

Just a thought, you should look into getting a strut bar. Their cheep and you'll love it!
Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I need a strut bar BAD. Just one of those little details .
Some tips for you if you want a trunk floor like mine: DON'T USE FLEECE! It's easy to use, but impossible to clean. The vacuum will not suck anything out of it. Unfortumately, I don't have any links that would be of any help since I kinda dreamed up this thing on my own. Basically, use the thickest stuff you can find for the floor. 75" feels pretty strong. Use metal rods instead of dowels if you can find them. The dowels bend too easily. Finally, measure everything and then measure it again. There are about five or six little screw-ups on the floor from mismeasurements. You can't see any of them though .
Nice setup , Clean . You can probably replace the fleece with speaker grade carpet . try partsexpress.com .
Also if you want to increase your in car Spls try replacing your rear deck . Copy the speaker cutouts and cut a port in the new deck .If you want it to look stealth cover the port ( actually it woud be just a vent) with the fabric or carpet you choose .
Hey landlord , if you havent started yet I got a suggestion for ya .Four 10" will eat up all of you truck space . Why not try 2 dual voice coil speakers . It would give give you almost the same output but from 2 speakers, plus you'll save some money and space.

Nah, I'm keeping the fleece. It looks cool and I like it, even if it is kind of a pain .
And I already cut out the rear deck - those speaker grilles you see just cover the hole .
Good advice, man. I'll see what options I can come up with for the dowels. The basic concept is by far superior to the stock setup. Now that I think about it my buddies BMW has a trunk floor very similar to your design. Looks top notch! 10x better than stock. I was thinking to save on weight I might use 1/2" MDF. We’ll have to see.

i already own two tens, i am going to buy two more and two 1000 watt clarion amps. i figure with four tens ill have room for the two clarion amps and the cheap chunch usa amp for my mids (wich will be replaced next month after i get my header and cia). construction should start next week on the box although, i have not decided where to put the capacators (2 farite) and the wiring yet, ill figuer it out when i get there. where almost done with the designs (we where delayed because my carpender friend did not understand that this HAS to be easily removable for when i got to the strip, so his first ideas and drawings (he had it all planned out perfect!) had to be scraped . so its taking awile to get it right on paper so we dont have any trouble building it. the trunk space means nothing to me! money is no object im out to win a trophy!
