Ok I was thinking about making my own fibergalss inclosure in the trunk of my accord. Right now i made my own sealed box for my two 12's. I have instructions on how to go about making a fiberglass inclosure. What I dont understand is when there are nermerous curves, unlike when making just a regular box. How do you know how big to make the inclosure for the subs. I know this might sound like a noob question. But I wouldnt even know how to measure the cubic feet for each sub.

Please help I am really really new at this

Well, in order to go about finding the volume, there are different methods. One method is to fill a 1 cu. ft. box with packing peanuts and fill your box up to get a good estimate. What year accord do you have?

well, to use the peanuts, you have to be finished with the box. if your just planning one, id say break your design down into two smaller portions. hopefully a rectagular one and a triangular one. for some you might even end up with two triangular portions. then you can find the volume of each portion and add them together. if you look in the volume calculator on this site youll kinda see what im talking about. hope this helps.
