how do i measure odd angles to make a board fit across my tunk?

I want to put a couple of subs in my car, and stick them in the trunk, but build them in, instead of using a box.

what I want to do is cut a piece of MDF to fit across my trunk and divide it in two, wheel to wheel.

I would mount the subs in this board.

How do i figure out how i have to cut it, to get it to fit snugly across my trunk between the wheel wells?

use cardboard to find the right size you need then once you do use that carboard as a jig for the mdf

Buy an angle guage. $5 at a tool retailer or less sometimes. 100x faster than making a jig, and easy to adapt if needed.
