Small 12" sub box for C4?
I'd like to put a small sub box in my 89. I currently have a 12 Rockford sub in a ported box but it's too tall and I can't store the top if I want to take it off. I also have a JL W0 that I'd rather use in the car.
Anyone have pics of their enclosures that allow the top to be placed back there?
I know the cubby is a great place for the sub, but how difficult is it to build a box for that spot?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

I know it's would be pretty easy. I'd just like to see some pictures of other's setups.
I'm just looking for some good thump to my music, not glass breaking-ground pounding bass.
Anyone willing to share pics of their setups?
Would a truck style box be worth it? Kind of a low profile box.

Wow AD that is simply awesome! Did you do it yourself? I love the Plexi glass too, just enough to see inside but not too much to make it look cheap. (Even though plexi is far from cheap!)
So what is now in your storage compartments?

To "create" them, a template is made off of the factory speaker grilles, then new covers are made out of 1/2" or 3/4" MDF (I will check tomorrow night for sure... it has been 3 years...
) and then covered them in grille cloth. They are attached with snap grommets, as they are called in the industry... they have a male end and a female end... will get closer pics for you... Also, will get pics of the dash, and doors as well...
I like the new name as well...

Wish I had the money right now to buy it... it has been completely restored... new interior, seals, suspension, and the list goes on and on!!

Thanks for the compliment!! Yep, I did that install for him about 3 years ago, to answer your question. Mike is a good friend of mine, (I talked with him today, and told him I would post these pics up here for you guys) and loves Corvettes almost, but not quite, as much as I do...
Looking thru the plexi (1/2" thick I believe to keep the plexi from flexing too much), you can see the silver grille cloth that has been dyed... it is to not allow you to see the inside of the box, but to allow the subs to utilize the airspace needed to play correctly in the enclosure... kinda neat...
I just thought this may give you guys some ideas, and show you what can possibly be done... oh yeah, the top still locks into place too...
