i might have to modify the cover in the rear hatch so the speaker doesnt vibrate against it when its moving. but we will post pics and results this weekend.

the sub appears to be a very good quality sub for this purpose.

this seems to be working out good so far.

If I were to do it again, there would be two things I would change

first I would use 1/2 inch MDF instead of 3/4. this would set the woofer back about 1/4 inch. or if I had a router I could have set the woofer into the mdf 1/4 inch to make it flush with the surface.

second, The subwoofer has to be as high in box as you can get it. The set up I created the very bottom of the woofer is at the very bottom of the interior cover and making a sutable grill might be challenging.

i noticed you were in winnipeg canada. I grew up about 80 miles to the south of you.. nice to see some people from the area on here.

I have some pics but they are terrible quality, as the flash floods out everthing I need to get some sunlight in my shop.

i will be working on the cover for the interior. Like I said the sub sits about 1/2 inch closer to the cover than the factory crap did so the cover needs to be modified a bit.

pics to come.

Ohhhhh Winnipeg....the toilet town of Canada! (I can't wait to get away from this area after school is finished!!! We get killer summers, but its the BRUTAL winters I just cant do anymore!)--- 80 miles South would put you right around the Pembina ND area if I'm not mistaken? I usually ship all my parts up to Neche ND, and do a quick hop across the border to grab them as the major shipping companies like to rape us with brokerage fees for bringing stuff across!
