possible or no?

 

Possible? Very. I know this for a fact. Been there done that.....myself. Remove the side plastic panels and spare tire/jack and you can squeeze out right around 7 cubes.

 

with fiberglass and money.. anything is possible...

 

**** im struggling to find 4 cu ft on the back ledge of the hatch and still being able to close the hatch

 

back ledge? Are you talking about that flat area directly behind the rear seat? Or actually in the "trunk"? Using only fiberglass, I bet you could squeeze out 4cuft without removing the side paneling.

 

im talking the back ledge behind the seat/

 

Well, that changes everything. Never fiberglassed anything around there, so I don't know for sure.... but I could only guess at around 4cuft. Why are you looking to put a sub box there? And lose your rear view abilities.

 

bah rear view is for ****** :-). I measured it out and i figured if i upfire the box i could get 10 high, 38 wide, and 16 deep. Which is roughly 2.6 cubes

 

anybody care to make some measurements of their own and tell me what they get? I still must be able to close the hatch

 

Not trying to sound like a d!ck, but why are you trying to make a box there? Are you just trying to keep your t-top storage? You DO know about subthump don't you?

 

I built my box for the trunk well in the back. I got 3.95 without really trying. I could squeeze more out of it. It's built out of 3/4 MDF.

 

I didn't know you did that, when did you do that? Got any pics for I'm wondering how that looked.

 

I WAS trying to make a box big enough to port a pair of 15"s. I made the fiberglass mold of the whole rear section, but after layering and layering....then realizing that I still have A LOT of work ahead, I scrapped it. It was going to take more time then I had to put into it. So I decided I would just run sealed and don't remove the side paneling. Same idea, just on a smaller scale. Here's a pic of the finished box w/ subs. Those are my old amps. They have since been sold and replaced with new amps and a matching amp rack. Don't have pictures of the entire install yet. Been away from the car for over a month now. But I will soon return and post pics for all to see.

 

If you never got it finished then how did you know that it was 7 cubes? I take it 7 cubes was an estimate?

 

The mold was basically the entire box except a MDF top baffle. After the fiberglassed cured, I removed the mold from the car and used a good ol' 5 gallon bucket and started pouring in the water. Did a little math a got a damn good estimate.
