Your mockup looks great, you could sell those. That'll require a huge printer though.

Wonder if you could suspend it from the back of the panel? Maybe glued to a self adhesive sound deadener along the lines of dynamat? Fiberglass is lightweight (compared to mdf) which I would imagine would allow you to do this however it is prone to vibration without reinforcement. I'd think...

Sorry, I meant the volume of your boxes. You can pour water from the full enclosure into something with volume graduations, Archimedes is your friend. That's very helpful with the risers, thanks. The basket on the speakers I ordered is 3 inches and I understand I only have 2.5 behind the sheet...

Yeah I envy those Audiofrogs, my installer didn't carry them. I replaced my front door cards for cosmetic reasons with takeoffs from a couple junkyards yesterday and it occurred to me I could have done a lot of the stereo stuff myself after all. Sure would be nice to leave those fresh panels...

What was the volume?

Cool! Sure coming along. Hey I was going to ask you about the Audiofrogs, I'm jealous! I see you were able to fit 6-1/2s under the factory panel with a speaker specific riser. My LX has 5-1/4 but in a large factory mount and I've wondered if the hole in the sheet metal behind it would permit...

That looks plenty serviceable to these eyes. I'd think about some bracing before you seal the baffle on if I were you. Did you do the water volume trick yet?

Yeah the fumes with that stuff are murder. I'd wear a good mask and do it outside. I used to drive by a yard that made large fiberglass containers and you smell it for miles before and after.

Since you and I talked last I decided to try a single shallow 12 in a 0.8 cubic foot sealed custom enclosure made to fit the area on the left in the back where the bottle jack is. I have a high lift and an offroad floor jack so at this point I really don't need it. There's 5 or 6 inches from the...

I was sorely tempted to try to fit an 8 in my factory box as the custom work costs a pretty penny. In the end I couldn't be sure of the volume without removing it, sealing the speaker hole and port, filling it with water and pouring it into a large measure from restaurant supply. Then who...

Hey appreciate the measuring! That's encouraging. Your choice to stay stock may prove to have been the smart one, I'm sure I've got a lot of headaches in my near future. That being said these shallow subs take less room than one would think and the ability of custom installers to efficiently...

I probably can only do one but I'm gonna see if I can build out over the wheel well hump and at an angle. A cubic foot (for 2 subs) isn't much volume, the problem is the speaker diameter.

Hey thanks for your post and the original thread. I'm gonna try to get a shallow 10 or two in custom fiberglass enclosures on the driver's side (your passenger) with the bottle jack and oem sub enclosure removed so I can hold onto the rear ac on the other side. Bass isn't directional after...

I spent a lot of time looking at heater and ac parts but can't figure it out. Thanks!!! Ah here we go:

I was doing some research to see where a custom subwoofer enclosure might fit and I came upon this helpful thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1998-2000-my-100-series-aftermarket-radio-amp-install-and-speaker-upgrade-guide.1384616/ Then I looked at every diagram on partsouq for an hour...
