I have a pic of a custom box I build for stealth / 3000gt's. I also build the same looking box for the 90-93 talon / eclipse / laser and the 96-99 talon / eclipse. I can start building boxes like this for the fb,fc,and fd's too if you guys would be interested. The boxes come with the actual speaker box, the cover plate to flush it all up and an amp rack. The amp rack mounts behind the back seats so you can't see it. I can't post the pic because its too big so email me and I'll send it to ya. I'll have my website up and running soon too. I hope. I got the url I just have to make a page. Never did it before. splboxes.com
I also do custom transmission line enclosures and 6th order bandpass for competition purposes. I also specialize in amp repair and cd player repair (only aftermarket)
Thanks guys my email is splboxes@lcsys.net
PS if you guys don't want to take up your whole hatch area and want to save some space then I can design around that too. The box you'll see in the pic actually lets you keep the spare.

I kinda like this setup...... is there any way to fit 2 10's on that box? - I'd just mount the amps on the other side of the box so you could see them from inside the cabin.

I am selling boxes that hold 2 10's and fit under the strut bar and between the shock towers. they are $125 wihtout covering $150 with carpeting and $175 with vinal. i have one pic of them but will be getting more in the next few days. when installed they are held in by the strut bar and can only be removed by taking the bar out. you can also still have the divider in place. let me know if anyone wants them. don't mind all the trash in the back i was working on my car. either om me or email me at moxeysrx7@aol.com if ur interested.


p.s. u still have most of your trunk left for storage

I have a fiberglass enclosure with 2 10 inch subs mounted in the spare tire well. The trunk floor was raised about 2 inches so I only lose a small amount of trunk space.
