Ok guys i no its not mazda related but its still a lowrider I just wanted to post some pics and see what everyone thinks,this is the first mdf box i have ever made i just wanted something clean and simple for the daily. So i really didn't wanna spend the time to glass one for it... Anyways its built for a 92 GMC Seirra Sport single cab, it was built to hold 2 10" Alpine sws-1043d's since the box is so shallow i had to built it the full way across the rear cab wall to get the right cubic ft. on each side... I will get some more pics of the setup once the sub gets here to show u guys how tight the room actually is the amp & capacitor had to go under the seat... Anyways here they are let me no what u think!

Cool man, looks like it will work!

Are you going to get some terminal cups for the back for wiring?

3/4 is fairly standard for a sub enclosure!

Should work fine...can't wait to see the install!

Looks good, keep us posted. Although, what did that cost you to make. Can't you buy them build cheaper?

cost $22.00 for a 4'x8' peice of 3/4" mdf, about $4.00 bucks for caulk, $10.00 on the wire connector things for the back of the box, and $10.00 for the material to wrap it so i have about $46.00's in the hole box, I didn't want a prefabbed box b/c i wanted it to fit prefect, and not look out of place like most do, also its impossible to find a box for a single cab that u can still slid the seat the holeway back, and alot of the cheap boxes are built out of 5/8" mdf...
