So I decided to build my box for my 2-10'kicker cvr subs. Its going in a 07 mustang gt so the trunk opening is small, and it won't fit thru the rear seat opening, so the box can't be very big. I want a sealed box. Each sub needs .8cuft min. airspace and 3cuftmax. It tells me how to build a single box with dimensions 13.5x13.5 front, 13.5x10.125 side, 12x10.125 other sides. What dimensions would I need to use for a dual box?

I dont remember the dimensions, but in my friends mustang we did 2 12w6v2's and we built 2 seperate boxes and made on long port coming out the right side...we nailed and liquid nailed the boxes together and the built a trim panel out of 1/2 inch mdf came out beautifully and sounded nice. My buddy comes back home in about a week or so and il try and grab some dimensions for you. ------------- MECP Certified

Does anyone have a way to calculate interior volume for a box with 5 sides? I need to make the bottom of my box have 2 angles in it to form to my weird trunk hump.

Post up your dimensions that you have (or intend to use) and I'm sure one of us can calculate that for you... but if you cannot wait, calculate the box as a combined wedge and rectangle box. Ganbatte ne! ------------- Never send your ducks to eagle school.

^-^; You'll have to forgive me but I can't figure out what dimension is what for that. Mind posing up a diagram?

Ok the front of the box will be 12 Inches tall, 34 In. Wide. The very top of the box will be 8 In. deep, 34 In. wide. The rear of the box-facing the rear seats will be 12 In. Tall, 34 In. Wide. The bottom of the box has two different lengths because of the weird hump in my trunk. The front part of the bottom will be 9 IN. Deep angled like 40 degrees and 34 In. wide. The flat part of the bottom will be 7 IN. deep and 34 In. wide. I hope that clears it up.

I can work out the volume for you, but those dimensions don't work. The picture lists different ones so I'm assuming it's just an example of the shape. You gave the front as 12" tall but the back as 12" tall as well, this couldn't be the case if there's that little hump. I don't need the degree of the angle, and the whole box will be the same width so I'll need that width. I'll need the height of the front, the height of the back, the depth of the top, the depth of the 2 flat bottom pieces. Basically you can ignore that angled piece & just give me depth of the upper & lower bottom pieces. PM me those or post them here & I'm sure we can get you your volume no problem:)

MUCH Better! but wait... 22 degrees??? 9inches??? You've gotta be kidding... You will want to double check your measurements. You also did not mention the thickness of the wood. If you look at what you have there, your top is 8 inches and the flat bottom is 7 inches. That would only give 1 inch of space left. Oddly enough that angle is 22 degrees but the length is only 2 1/4 inches. Assuming that we ignore the 9inch angle area and make a box that is square with just a larger baffle to fill in the extra inches and the wood is 5/8" MDF, your total is: 1.04cf (rounded nearest 100th) Sorry but you are 1/2 cf shy of your goal... I don't have a Mustang around me at the moment so I can't make a reference with how to fix the size issue, but I'm sure someone can or I can see if I can visit one and see what space is available.

Can someone please come up with a box design for a new style Mustang. It's for 2 kicker cvr 10's.

Well it just needs the angle on the bottom. It goes up 9 Inches at a 22
degree angle. Then flattens out for 7 inches and thats all the room since it now hits the rear seats. The height of the box by the rear seats can't be taller than like 10 Inches. The front can be like12 or 15 inches tall. I want the width to be 34 inches wide. Then the top needs to be however long so it lines up with the bottom angle thing.

ok lets start fresh here since no1 can decifer your drawing and im pretty sure the measurements are not exact. no offense, but we are trying to help you out. i have an idea to get more air space. you need to make 3 cardboard cut outs for the 2 side and the divider. make them to fit snug for the sides and divider. then when you get the shape you are looking for, trace em out on mdf and cut em out. place them in the trunk where you want them to be. then tape them down so they stand upright as if they were in the box themselves. then foil off the work area, and tape around them to fiberglass the tricky spots of this box project. fg the sides and divider to the foiled off floor and wow, now ur making this box that isnt working out so well to begin with(sorry if i seem blunt but had a rough day, not ur fault) now you have then bottom sides and divider in place carefully pull this out of the trunk and build the front and top of the box and make sure the fg is strong enuf. now you can finish it to ur liking, but at least you will have the max. air space you will need. let me know if that is what you were looking for.
