Default 81 C-3 Rear Speaker Box Question

Hello from Eastern NC!

Does anyone out there know where I could find Plans, Dimensions, Measurements, ANYTHING on construction of a box for the rear of a 1981 C-3 to mount speakers in? looking to install 2 8 inch subs and or 2 6X9 speakers in the box. I need to be able to store the T-Tops in the back.

Yeah, I know that there are boxes out there for sale but I will be darned if I want to pay $200.00 + for some MDF covered with carpet.

Let me know if you can help! Thanks and be safe!

Here is the one I made for my Pace Car.





I don't have the measurements, but just used a tape measure and have it cut to sit on the humps. MDF cut an covered in vinyl and I used interior dye to match.
