Topic: My box is too big!!
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!!! -------------------- 96 4dr Honda Accord Pioneer P8500MP Two Resonant Engineering SE 15's Viper 1200.1 Class D amp Proud Member of: Team Fatal LowZ

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.

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 -------------------- 96 4dr Honda Accord Pioneer P8500MP Two Resonant Engineering SE 15's Viper 1200.1 Class D amp Proud Member of: Team Fatal LowZ

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. -------------------- RE Audio - CDT Audio - DEI - Alpine - Image Dynamics 00 Impala all slow and no go with some bling. http://members.cardomain.com/chrominimpala
