Question Sub Box/ boxes

Does any one have a custom made sub box for their first gen or have plans for a custom fit sub box?

Thanks Joshua

This is what I started on a while ago, still havent finished, the need for a running engine got in the way, and now I have no job again, so I need to find another job before I can continue anything. But I promise, one day, it will be done . Oh, and I will attach a more recent pic now that the amp box is carpeted for those of you that remember it from the begining...

to Adsy01, your site kicks major butt, amigo... In one sitting, in 5 minutes I learned more about Fibreglas as it applies to car stereo than what the soft cover books do in 120 pages. You distilled the whole process into its simplest form. You might want to toss out a warning about breathing in the matt fibres, though...but still that was great stuff....

Plans >? LOL Nope, but I got a few pictures somewhere of different designs I have tried over the years... I'll have to 1) find them and 2) scan them in...

Still the best results as far as a good sound and being louder than hell was three 12w6's in a acostic coupled box (box w/o a divider and braced everywhere internally) Had a PPI Art Series 1200 running it mono, wanna talk about a LOUD SOB. I had to replace the hinges once, cause it rattled the pins that hold the hinges together!

Here's my Box. That's a 12" MTX. Pounds very nice.... The Sub is only taking up half of the box. The other half is holding my Amps.

I have two 8"s in small boxes behind each seat in the storage bin, with the smp mounted between them.
