So basically talking to Paul at hydroboost and also with other forum members, I learned that you actually need to drill the pump orifice in the stock pump bigger to allow the flow needed by both the rack and the hydrobooster. This worked perfectly and if you send me your email, I can attach some files that will spell everything out for you!

Do you have any build plans for the box? I want to do something similiar for my 70 convertible so maybe I can hear the radio every now and again.

Thanks for taking the measurements Mike. I printed them off and may use them to build my own. Just curious, did you build your box?

I do know that you need to use 3/4" thick wood for the proper bass resonance and seal it with something like silicone. Also you can get carpet at any stereo shop and can use the same adhesive glue you would use for the carpeting in our cars. The sub you buy will have in the documentation what optimum airspace you need for that particular sub. Tons of info on the web as well for building boxes - I think one is 12volt.com and also there's a stereo forum on our site here...
Hope that helps!

Thanks -
Rear are 15x8.5 with a 3.5" BS with 255/60/15
Front are the same with 235/60/15
No mods necessary at all with those size tires - BUT you cannot go any bigger tire in the front with that BackSpacing - ask me how I know...
I really wanted 295/50/15 and 265/50/15 but even if I had gone to the trouble of relocating the e-brake tab, they would have stuck out too much from the fenders.
On this forum, Motorhead has that setup with the ConvoPros and it looks perfect, but I think the later C3s must have had more room in the rear for some reason. I would have had to get flares for mine...
