There's a trick to installing larger boxes in Mustangs but it becomes a nuisance.  If you remove your spare tire you can get a slightly larger box to fit.  Once the box is in, tilt it back and work your spare back in.  It makes for a snug fit if you don't mind the extra work.Do it right the first time

What is the question?

Use this link to calculate internal volume if you wanted to make an new enclosure. You could make it 36" wide x 11.75" tall x 11.25" deep. That would give you Orions recommended enclosure size. It would be made out of 3/4" MDF with a 1" front baffle. I would suggest using a double baffle instead with 3/4" which will give you a 1.5" thickness. It will be cheaper then 1" MDF and stronger as well.

how would i do the math to add 3" ports in each chamber and hav about 1.2cu per chamber??...if it would b to complicated to cut the box and add the ports, ill have to make it sealed i guess...
