[QUOTE="CadillacMatt, post: 6938943, member: 595884"] Hey all So I'm going to be installing an 18" Sundown Nightshade in the trunk of my '95 Caddy, and I have been trying to come up with a workable solution for a box design. Been sifting through threads but haven't really seen too many builds with a sub back/port front design or vice-versa. It seems that any other design would take up the entire trunk with little room for any other equipment. This is what I'm proposing: Top down view of the trunk. The yellow dashed line is the rear deck, about 19" total height clearance. The grey dashed line is the recessed spare tire well, about 6" or so deep. Box sides and top would be built as to contour around the wheel wells. [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj215/CadillacMatt95/idea1.jpg[/IMG] This would be the view from the back, I apologize for the shitty drawing.. it gives the impression that the box is sealed off from the cabin but in reality it would have about 5" or so of clearance (what I'm shooting for...). The woofer is recessed down into the tire well, I could fabricate the bottom of the enclosure out of fiberglass I'm thinking to contour to the floor pan. [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj215/CadillacMatt95/idea1a.jpg[/IMG] Last but not least here is an actual picture of the trunk taken before the sound deadening for visual clarity [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj215/CadillacMatt95/DCP_0011.jpg[/IMG] I would want the box to be about 5-6 cubes of internal volume... I've long since forgotten the trunk measurements and haven't gotten into the specifics of it yet but this was just a preliminary idea I was tossing around... anybody worked with a design like this? Thanks a million guys [/QUOTE]
