    pbkid,
    I have two 8" subs in airtight mdf enclosures mounted on one mdf "backplate" in the spare tire compartment. The whole assembly is held on by three bolts where the original spare tire mounting plate was attached. The backside of the assembly is covered in felt to minimize vibrations against the metal. Both of my amps are mounted on the backplate, between the enclosures, along with my power and ground distribution blocks. All the wiring is routed through a new hole in the hinge side of the door, and into the left side via the tail light. It has worked well for a year so far.........

    nice, any pics so i could get an idea of what you did???

    oh, and since my tax returns are on their way..just outta curiousity....what would it cost to have the great Ldub fab something up with a similar carbon fiber look you did earlier here (before i jacked the crap outta your thread)???

    pm me and let me know...i would be happy to send you dimensions on the subs or just send you the subs themselves....

    im pretty sure you could make a more visually appealing and acoustically appealing enclose than i could....

    pbkid.......

    I'll try to get some pics up for you in a few days.....I live in western Kentucky, and I'm still chainsawing my way out of our recent ice storm (it was worse than it sounds), but I'll take some pictures as soon as I can.
    And I officially apologize to Ldub for my participation in this thread-jack!

    You fellers don't need to worry none about jackin' up one of my threads...It's just thread karma that I've got comin'...

    Jack, you would have to send me dimensions & such for me to even ballpark an estimate.
    AFAIK, most subs come with min & max enclosure volume (in cubic inches) for sealed & ported applications.
    The killer is shipping, it was almo$t fifty bucks to get the doll casket UPS'ed to Bart.

    well thats pretty easy for us...
    i dont know how accessable your rear door space is?? because wouldnt you be able to model the exterior dimensions off your rear door?? they should be identical....

    when it comes to the dimensions of the subs and the 'called for' box dimensions i could easily send you the sub instructions that include the 'called for' information....and the cardboard box comes with a cutout to the exact dimensions of the sub to aid in box making...basically little templates...

    and when it comes to shipping it should be around $50-75...when i shipped my rims they weighed 77 pounds a piece and the total shipping for 4 of em was around 130....
