Hey, I'm wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with a custom sub enclosure for a 4dr 2003 sunfire . Ideally I'd like it to slide right up against the back of the rear seats maximizing my trunk space (gotta leave room for a hockey bag). I'm putting in 2 10" Sony SVC XS-L106P5 subs and will face them away from the back seats, the amp can work around the box so that is not an issue. I'm fairly experienced with wood working so the funky angles and cuts to fit it where I want will also not be an issue. I'm looking for any advice or pointers on possible dimensions to (hypothetical or actually tested) to get the best possible sound quality whilst leaving hockey bag room. If anyone has actually done this and have an existing template I could follow that would be awesome! I'm open to any and all suggestions as long as they don't involve making fun of me for driving a 4dr sunfire, suffice it to say, it was free and paying for med school is a higher priority than buying a cooler car. I'm just trying to work with what I've got

thanks

2.3 cubic feet @ 38hz

one 4" aeroport cut to a length of 8"

Top & Bottom = 30"x17"
L Side & R Side = 11.5" x 16.25" on a 71 degree angle
Back = 30" x 12 11/64 to make a 71 degree angle
Front = 30" x 11.5"

Hopefully the pictures will make more sense.

Wow thanks a lot, that's perfect, can I cut it with funky curves and contours around the edges to slide up against the back seat and not lose a ton of sound quality as long as i keep roughly the same dimensions?

rear firing woofers, better sound, and a tip if you are putting a hockey bag in, grill the subs anyway you can. A friend of mine put a skate blade through a cone! lol

Thanks for the tips, I'll post pictures of the build and finished product on the off chance that someone else out there wants to make a custom enclosure for a sunfire. More tips and pointers are welcomed and appreciated.
