Speaker Box

[reicherb]

I've got a '95 Chevy pickup (regular cab) and I'm sick of not being able to put my seat all the way back because my speaker box is in the way. I've currently got a 12" sub in a box that is 8.5" deep at the bottom. I'd be willing to go to (2) 10" or (2) 8" subs if I could get a box with a couple of inches less depth. Does anybody know of a good small pickup box?

Thanks.

Fabricate one yourself, it's not that hard if you have the tools.

Are they just made of OSB with felt on the outside?

usually mdf with felt on the outside. I don't think OSB would work too well

3/4 MDF and a roll of that carpeting stuff. You can get it at Wal-Mart or an autoparts store.

Spray adhesive and solvent for the carpeting.

I built a couple boxes for some 8 inch woofers that I was using for midbass. I made them square because it was easier and I didn't really care if they were cool looking, I just wanted them to be simple and look nice. I bought the MDF at Lowes and had dimensions for the squares and had them cut them for me. I used a jig saw to cut out the opening for the speaker. Drilled some holes and then screwed the pieces together. I sealed the seams with some sort caulk that was appropriate for that use. I drilled a hole for the speaker wire, ran the wire through, then I sealed that.

Cut the carpet up and glued the pieces to the box. I used the solvent to clean the corners so that you couldn't tell where the seams in the carpet was.
