man, after constant hours of designing, measuring, and building i go to put my box in when i finish and come to find out it is too big for my trunk. I am so mad i did everything possible to get it in. now i have to take it apart and cut it down. so much stuff to do. sometimes i think of giving up, but i remeber how satisfying it is to build something of your own and love the results!!!

Unfortunately, having a box that <= the inner dimensions of your trunk is only part of it. Since the majority of trunks have openings that are only a fraction of the inner depth, I like to make a model out of cardboard first to make sure I'll be able to tilt the box in when it is finished.

i was goin to do that, but i got in a hurry to build it. oh and i did build it to the measurements and thought about the openings but something must have went wrong. trail and error i guess.

When in doubt you have two options. Cut or kick. Cut the metal or kick that bish in.

how do you build the box inside the trunk? like screwing down the top and bottom? what about putting on pl... wouldn't that get everywhere? oh well i'm about to try to get it in the backseat to the trunk. hope it works

well i finally got it in. i was goin to mash the bottom of my trunk opening to make it flat and allow the box to slide in, but i decided it wasn't worth the damage. so i went ahead and trimed down the box an inch and there it was (after a few drop kicks) well it's all about making mistakes. i'll make a new box soon.
thanks for the help guys

I disassembled my probes trunk to get my box in for it, it also took 4 people to get it in still. That L7 box was damn big..... It still took like 4-5 people to get my new sealed box in, but it was made to be a pretty flush against the back seats maximum trunk space install, so the installer did a great job considering the task I think.
