Hey, my friend just picked up 2 Kenwood 10's for his 01 Celica GTS. Do any of you have some good plans or know of a good site for plans for building a sub box? Or do you think we can just measure his trunk and draw up our own plans?

My recomendations.....build it to what the manufacturer suggest as far as how many cubic feet. I would also make a sealed box, much more accurate, tighter bass. Just get the proper cubic ft. , then start building it from there

i built an encloser for the back of a sunbird. pain in the arse. all i can say is get the cubic feet right. and when u put the wood together, use some sealant to make it air tight. use carboard cutouts before the acutal wood so you can make changes to make sure it fits

OK. The subs call for 1 cubic foot each, which equals 3456 inches cubed for the entire box (for 2 subs). So we were thinking of either just a 24"x12"x12" (Length x Depth(Width) x Height) box (3456inches cubed) or a 30"x8"x14.5" (3480inches cubed) box to conserve a little trunk space. Does the distance from the back of the actual sub to the wall off the sub box matter? Also does the height of the sub matter, ie the distance from the floor of the trunk to the bottom of the sub (like is it better to have the sub 6" off the floor or is 1" off the floor fine). Thanks.

Yep, they do.. lol. 3/4" ply for the frame should do, right? Any idea where to get that carpeting that the premade ones come covered in?

ask a place that fabricates the boxes..... thats your best bet... they will know all of the local areas that will have some available

i need to fabricate a box for my 2 12s and 2 10s right now they are in two seperate boxes... needless to say... i dont have a backseat anymore

Usually a good idea to put a devider inbetween subs so if you go with 3/4in wood make it 3/4in longer so you can put the devider and not loose air space and dot forget too air space in meseared from the inside of the box of if you just did 24 x 12 x 12 you would loose a lot of air space you need. it should be 26 1/4" x 13 1/2" x 13 1/2" on the outside to allow for the wood and keep the air space...

Yea, I took that into consideration, and we re-measured his trunk and then remembered we needed to mount the amp ontop of the box, but we have it all figured out. And we are planning to put a divider in. He's going to go to a fabric store and look around for that carpeting stuff, or something similar. I'll get pics of it when we build it tomorow.
