I'm building a van a couple 18's and 8 amps. I have the dimesions on the box. Curious to knowabout the box install. How shoud I go about it. Should I build a foundation then attach the box to it. And how do you attach mdf to the top of a vehicle with out drilling through the vehicle where screws would be poking out. Just looking for some ideas, thanks in advance.

I know one of the things that work well is building a metal frame for the box to attach too. this way your box is very strong and you can use less wood for strenght purposes.
