i built this box for my SX18 and stuffed it in the back of a ford ranger (extended cab, not 4 door). i had to take the seats out just to get it in but it was definitely worth it. and im not too worried about anyone trying to take 100+ pound box.

i typed that as a reply to someone and i dont know how this became its own thread ( this crime has 12volt's scent all over it) but anyway the box is actually about 5.5 cubes plus the giant port which is 3W x 20H x 26L, might be a little longer its been a while since i built it. its tuned to about 30HZ and i actually use it for SQ than SPL. i wont claim to be the loudest on the block but its definitely hard to sit in the truck with it going full tilt. it does a 150.2DB on a TL meter, not sure at what frequency though. i have it running off of an Autotek MM2000.1D and i really need to upgrade my stock alternator because im sure my amp isnt getting the current it really wants to make all that power.
as far as finishing it, im really thinking about having it linex-ed. who knows, it might give me an extra DB even though the box is extremely sturdy already.
i have the whole cab except the roof done with fatmat sound dampening
ill find more pics later

my box does not come out, box alone is 150+ and the 4 subs in it. i had to put coil and leaf springs helps for the weight. sucks but it sounds great. escorts are a pain had one with 2-15s and that car did pound. The only problem i have is my airbag lite keeps coming on. hope it does not come out on me while driving that would really suck.
before
db-143.5= box 4.5ft^3 at 35hz
after
db-163.1 = box 12ft^3 at 40hz and is not done yet.
lots changed radio, speakers, box, battery,etc.
getting my new amp on wed i will get it tested and see if i get better numbers.
