Looking to get a better then standard 15's sub box, thinking about building one. Came up with a couple designs, but have made up my mind. Any pics of sub boxs people have in the cargo space without the rear seats? I want a fully custom look, not the two speakers with ports in the middle or bottom and amps screwed on the back. The subs Im using are the Memphis Mojo QVC's and two Memphis 2500.1 Amps. Batteries sold seperately! lol. And also, if I where to build it myself, how do you calculate air space and tune a port?

if your really not up to par on calculating cubic feet and how to tune a port freqency, I reccomend a custom install. Nothing can more destroy the sound of a good system, than an improperly built enclosure. And with the price of MDF, I bet you don't want to build 4-5 to get it right.

Especially if you are going to port it. If you are going to do anything with fiberglass it becomes much harder to calculate box volume. Here is an Escalade that was done at a shop I used to work at down in Florida.

If you want to go real custom, here is another one that is actually in a Mountaineer, but you get the idea. By the way it is fully motorized.

That is amazing! I see your old install pics, they sick. I want to get sponsored by memphis if possible, but dont want anything over the edge. but the speakers need 4.50 cubic airspace and a port tuned at 35hrz, so I think Im limited to certain designs. I thinki have enough space for them in the back, without the third row.

I worked at a couple of places down there, but spent most of my time at Sound Advice area before they went under.
