On top of each other

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 300 Registered: Sep-05 | i only have 24 inches across my trunk. i might be getting a really good deal on 2 12" subs from a guy. obviously i cant fit them side by side, but what difference does it make if you put one box on top of the other, as long as you bolted it down and made sure it stayed put? |

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 302 Registered: Sep-05 | the reason i cant fit them side by side is because of at the back of my trunk, it like curves down on the side. it hink im going to make a platform an inch or two in the air where it curves, and then just stick the end of the box on the platform and have the back lifted like 10 or 15 degrees, which will give me about 30 inches of width, which should be enough for 2 12"s. ill try to get a ditial camera later today and post some pics |

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 303 Registered: Sep-05 |  alright, this is what someone else did, but i want larger than 8" RE's. you see the things on the side that curve down. what i want to do is make a platform thats flat across the top 30" wide, and the bottom of it is curved so it fit in there like a jigsaw puzzle. i measured it out with cardboard, and it would be about an inch or a little more in height. then i would stick the back of the box up on the platform, since it would be 30", whereas i only have 24" between the curves. since its a hatchback, im making a wedge box so the fact that the box is facing downward shouldnt matter much since the subs are going to be angled up at the hatch anyway. does that make more sense or do i need more pics when i scale out the platform? |

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 305 Registered: Sep-05 | um i dont think you have it, but i dont blame you. see im going to make a simple wedge box. i already made the calculations on www.bcae1.com like a flat base, a angled front, and a flat down back. that way its really easy to get the calculations. then im just going to get a piece of wood, cut it so its 30 " wide, and then ill carve it so it fits down in between those curves. then ill stick my box and just stick the back of the box up on the platform. i made a new post though if you want to help me there  |

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 306 Registered: Sep-05 |  see im making a box like that, that way i can have the front face angle up with the hatch of my car. only way subs will fit back there. i just want to lift the back end of the box up and place it on a platform so that way i have 30" across instead of 24. because you see where those curves come down. at base level with the carpet, its only 24 inches. if you go up an inch or two between the curves, you now have 30 inches or so. it would be way to hard to make a box with the back end curved like that, so i just want to make a fillin between the curves thats high enough where i can just set the box down and its high enough where i have enough room across |

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 311 Registered: Sep-05 | i cant make a box and aim it upwards. ive got about 12 inches until the hatch ends. after the glass hatch comes down, its about 6 inches from the bottom to the top. not much mounting depth for subs. |
