I dont have the expertise or knowledge or time for building an install thus want to buy one but all the ones i see seem massive. I already bought the speaker b4 buying the box as didn\'t anticipate this problem.

Can anyone recommend a box?

By the way this is a FD i am talking about

Better to make one to be honest. Some of the pre-made ones will fit though.

My advise would be to make one too! most of the pre-made boxes are way too big and dont need to be. There are some sites on the net which will calculate the size ranges for your box or if u know a bit u can do it with the values on the spec sheet of the sub (some knowledge of maths normally helps). Im putting 3 x 12s and 2 huge amps in the back of mine and they all fit so you shouldn\'t really have a problem!

You could fibreglass a box into the spare wheel well.

How the heck do you get 3 12\'s in the boot of a 7 ??? I had 3 in an ax but the boot was nice and square and my subs worked at 0.75cuft !

well, 2 of my mates are sound crazy and wanted to attack my rex so we done a mock up and everything fit, will post pics up once its finished (or started even LOL)

Thanks for your responses.

Making one seems like a massive amount of work. I dont mind the putting boxing up the wood and carpeting it. That part I "THINK" is easy. Its the sawing and cutting out a perfect circle which worries me. How do I even start without power tools?!:2Confused

Curiously how do I get power to the boot? Can I use my existing amp power cable to bridge on to other things?

Hmmm... Thanks very kind interloper. How much are you asking for and can you give me an inkling of what it\'ll look like? Have you done one for yourself?

Lastly how quickly can you get it made - i am itching for BaSsSsS!

whereever. So long it looks/sounds nice and I have *some* boot space.amp is mounted dead centre on the back of rear seats more or less. So probably best somewhere kind of central though I can always have it to one side. But I would\'ve thought centre would be best for sound as well as weight distribution.

how about 1 each side :D.. double bass lol

lol I would\'ve done but I stupidly bought an amp and wiring kit which will only allow the one :(

If I go for 2 i\'d have to rewire and buy another amp. :(

You can mount a bass box in the wheel well without stuffing up the rest of the boot

This gives almost exactly 55 litres without intruding into the boot, which is perfect for these darn 10" guns... *GRIN*
