Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK
First off, a huge THANK YOU to Brisk. I was about to go out and design my trunk setup off of the schematic in the sticky and he mentioned that their directions were off. HE IS RIGHT. I will post my measurements, but it's late so I'm just going to post my progress for now.
Here's what I have so far...
Before:
Finished box:
My generic fake floor (not trimmed to fit, yet):
Cardboard rough draft of the fake floor:
More to come tomorrow. Hopefully the placement of the subs, amps and cap... and def the measurements. Comments welcome.

Re: Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK
The set-up I have in my 92 RS was based on the measurements of that schematic. I thought my installer may have made an error in measurement, but after reading this and Brisk's post, he probably didn't. In order for me to remove my enclosure, I have to remove the latch pull down motor to have clearance, but I can still remove the plastic panel to access my tail lights.

Re: Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK
All in due time...
This car was a $500 special and I'm transferring the ICE from the old car to this one. Add a completely custom interior, a 406 build, this audio and bodywork to make like new and $500 looks AWESOME

Re: Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK
OVER a year without progress sucks...
Working to provide for a wife and 3 kids... necessary.
This project is not dead... I would apologize for the delay, but I think I felt it more than you guys... lol
And as for the speakers, the last pictures were of a test fit for the amps and cap... holes werent cut for the 12's, yet.
This TransAm fits the name "Phoenix" for every day that goes by...

Re: Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK
I am now working on version 2.0.
Just as I think you were guessing, magnum, I was going to have clearance issues with that setup.
I started over, built the box better this time and have a better plan in mind. Pics to come as progress continues...
(I can actually focus on this now that the motor is mostly done...)

Re: Building A Trunk Setup? LOOK
what is the height of cut "C"? (the board that has 3 cuts out of it, both sides and the one in the middle) I need the total height of it and also is board "B" (the one that goes all the way at the bottom of the well) in between A and C or underneath them?
thanks
