i hate the flimsy plastic cargo area siding, it gave me storage space but it would always boldge out. well about 4 months ago i had an idea and i put it on paper. i had a bid sub woofer in the cargo area along with my tool box and those both took up lots of room so i figure why not put the sub in the siding to get the big box out of the way. plus the little studs that were supposed to hole up my rear seats wasnt there so... these boxes will support a fairly large person. i cant find the original picture... but i made a model out of card board first



then put that design on wood. when i started to make it out of wood i didnt really want to have an angle in the middle of the face of the box so i desided to bend the ply wood very carfully.




well the hard part was done with i guess. (im not a patiant person...) next i cut the holes for a 6x9 speaker near the seat, and a door for the storage box.





they were having a sale on some fabric at joans in corvallis so i took advantage of it and got lots to cover them up with!!! and then of coarse put all the goodies i have in it.





this is only the completed drivers side. my passenger side one is still awaiting the 10" kicker sub im putting in it. i still need to cut the hole...... anyways... that is about it for now just thought i would share what i have been up to lately.

Except for the brass hardware, I like it! Well done!

well i got my sub and finished up my other box. it sure cleans up the cargo area!







im going to make new ones next summer after i have a year to take notes about what i can do better. (number one being the brass hardware)

alpine 6.5's mounted to the roll bar





alpine 10" in ported box, has thick and wide rubber feet on the bottom that keeps it from sliding around on the rubber mat in the floor, I also put in enough wire that the box can be slid all the way to the left or right in the truck and it can also go all the way up to behind the front seats.

I also made the sub box/amp removable in 5 minutes to have full cargo room. There is a fuse to pull under the hood and the power/ground/remote wire all disconnect easily from junctions (not on the amp) like these

something that may be cool for the box is some aluminum diamond plate tough and durable.

Loving the design/look of these speaker boxes! Great job on them. Also like how you used the box as a platform for the latch for the back seats!

One day I'm going to attempt a project like this; so many other things to do first though haha.

Man your rig must Knock!

thank you! it wasnt to hard to be honest. i did most of it by eye, next summer im going to make some new ones and sell these. i have some more ideas.

it does! thats the bad part. it bulges the sheet metal above my rear fender flare.... im working on fixing that this weekend. hopfully figure something out. i think a piece of ply wood fixed to something will work though.
