check out the website to get proper dimentions for optimum sound and build the box to that... if you want to make it so it looks like it was made for it just make a ''face plate'' to fit the hatch... you can also make cut outs in it to mount the amps and caps... use a table saw if you want to make sure all the cuts are the same lenth and straight... i used to use 3/4" or 1" mdf (medium density fiberboard) and or plexiglass... there are alot of ways to do it to make it look good...

i can even make it in fiberglass or carbon fiber...

hell, i have even made one from plate steal before for a compition van...

that one, well, theres 2, ones for a cavalier and one for a '96+ civic hatchback...

the civic one was self contained except for the head unit... it could just be unpluged and removed for the track...

i never did anything for a show... i made extra money from friends who didnt want to try it themselves... made my first one when i was 14 for my first car

[aimmotorsports]

i did a s-10 that was featured in hot rod magizine about 7-8 years ago. it was body droped, with a hand made dash, hood, dodge viper seats, and a '59 chevy front end.

[steve581581]

Hey, how should i position my subs? should i have them in the hatch facing up like you did in the firebird(?)? or should i build the box and have them facing towards the rear bumper? what is gonna be the best position to get the most sound?

[aimmotorsports]

up towards the hatch. and if the box is ported, have the ports on the front of the box faceing the front of the car...

Which is better to have with a hatchback, a ported box or fully enclosed?

First you need to trace the mustang for a ex-cop issued crown vic, throw some 17" plastic spinners on three of the wheels and some tweed headliner material that is stapled in and hanging ...


I mean ummmm I would think a non-ported box would sound best in a hatch back there is to much air space for a ported box. In a notch def ported box..

actualy ported will play louder in anything just about. sealed will give more control and allow more room for tuneing error.

There is no real need for a ported box in a hatchback. The shape of the car acts as an amplifier itself. Best bet would be to use the spare tire well as your location. build a small sealed box there, expanding outwards as needed, proceed to make a false floor so it looks right, then put the amps, and such in there.

Do you got subs in ur Fox?

[char]

boxes are not that hard to make, just get a tape measure and a pad of paper, lay it out measure it out and design it out right. get all the supplys, hell if cutting the wood is an issue im pretty sure lowes will cut it for you if you ask.

who knows you may take a good liking to it, not to mention its awesome to say you built it your self.

not to take anything away from aim it sounds like you do some pretty awesome work.

I will not put any stereo in my Fox. I have built a few false floor set ups for my past cars, and other fiberglass set ups for them, and others as well.
