Default T-top suitcase dimensions?

Can someone tell me the dimensions of the T-Top Suitcase that Ecklers sells (dimensions with the T-Tops in it).
This one:
Ecklers T-Top suitcase

I'm doing some advanced planning for rear speaker and sub enclosures.



Thanks in advance,
David

I don't have the measurements in front of me because I'm at work and can't get to it, but I do have this suitcase at home. I like it a lot, but it's a pretty full fit in the back of my 79.

Ex. I can fit my sunvisor in between the case and the back of my cargo area or to either side, but there isn't much room all around it.

If it helps to use this as a guide, the bag is sufficient for protection, but fairly soft and not too rigid so you could probably squeeze it in there so that the amount of space it takes up is about the same as the actual dimensions of your tops.

I just got done making a sub box. I made it from fibreglass and MDF. I am only sorta happy with the way it turned out. The original plan was to install 6 x9 and a 10" sub on the box. This later turned into 2 x 10" subs and a large amp in the middle between the subs. This then turned into 2 x10" subs with the amp mounted on an angle above the sub box with a piece of polliished checker plate. It turned out the angles didn't allow for the amp to mount where I wanted it.

I also put 6" speakers in the kick panels and 2" tweeters in the dash.

Sounds great!

One amp controls everything, plus I have another channel I can use for rear speakers if I want them.

Check out soundstream.com and jl audio, they make excellent subs that will fit into a 1/2 cubic foot enclosure.
