Looks like mdf, but you could fiberglass. If you don't use the risers, you'll have to fiberglass the bottom fo sho.

I just used mdf ........ it fits the floor fine, there's a notch in the front panel for the hump

a fiberglass bottom would take advantage of all the space better, but I got no glassing skills [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey Dodgeram,how many feet of power wire did you use to run from your battery to amps under your back seat?I picked up a Scosche wiring kit from Wal mart for $40.It is for 2 amps.It comes with 14' of 4ga.,6' of 8ga.,4' 8ga. ground cable,4-8 distribution block,fuse holder with fuse,17' remote wire,2 17' RCA cables.Is this enough?The only thing i'm concerned with is the 4ga. power cable might be a bit short.It came in in one of those clear plastic packages with the edges melted together so if you open you can't return it(I hate those).What do you think,am I good to go or do I need more?

What is the best way to run the speaker wire out of the box.I read some people use bolts but now I can't find the post.I don't want to just run the wire through a hole.So it's either use a nut & bolt or a terminal.Is the only reason to use a nut & bolt to save money?

Paul Niwranski 07-03-2004 07:53 AM

^ Well, terminal cups generally leak a bit - especially spring type - and limit the wire size you can use properly too. Plus they're $5 a pop :D

If you want something better looking than a couple of machine bolts sticking out of your box, find a set of loose 5way binging posts and mount them to your box. No cheaper than the t-cups but maybe a better option.

Here's a nice long set: http://www.partsexpress.com/images/091-1245m.jpg

man you spent alot of time making the posts, nice work, when i build boxes for those trucks, i fibreglass the floor, and use wood for the baffle and sides and put 2 12" subwoofers in, the only thing you have to be careful of speaker depth, but lots of 12's fit, and for sealing wires on boxes i use black hot glue, never leaks and dries fast, not the most convienient for removal though.

Do you know of anywhere in the lower mainland where I could get a nice set like that.Radio Shack does'nt carry them.
