And the latest WIP...trying to reach a broader market with a "Barbie size" model.
Yes, I believe your GI Joe with the kung fu grip would fit too...
Decided to go with real carbon fiber veneer on the lid...:_drool:

It's just self stick veneer from a company I found online...nothing I'm able to do myself...

It comes that way in sheets, I've used up most of what I had in inventory.
I'll post a link to where to get it later.

Jack, here's a link to the company where I get the c-f sheets from...
They come pre finished with a clear resin coat, the peel & stick 3M backing is an additional $4.00 per.
Click on "rigid carbon fiber panels" on the home page, & you'll find quite a selection of colors, sizes, thicknesses, etc.
Not cheap, but good quality stuff...

Try pm'ing psychos2 , he makes a nice door/spare sub enclosure & may help you out...or check his gallery for ideas.nice, well with my tax returns it looks like i may be re-vamping my sound system...so these very likely could be included in my box....

when i was thinking of doing mine i was gonna use the spare tire mount to secure it.. basically build the box to fit without loading it, then put it into place, use the 3 bolts that hold the spare tire mount in place to bolt it to the door, then load the sub(s) in after its secured.. if you wanted to remove it, you would have to remove your subs, but theres not much reason that you would need to remove it anyway
Super VXer
ya i was thinking about that...but i would want to be able to remove it if necessary...just incase i needed to dome something with my CB antenna or my back-up camera...
Super VXer
only other thing i could think of is to make L shaped mounting tabs that came out over the screw holes for the interior tailgate panel, but you would probably want to find something sturdier than the factory plastic screws to hold it in place.. iirc somebody made some replacements out of aluminum didnt they? that could work
Super VXer
i wasnt aware of an aluminum style, that would work perfectly...
i got some tips from psychos2 earlier, he said that it sits behind the lip on the bottom, which sounds good on bottom, but i need to figure out a way to hold it in there and keep it still...
maybe some brackets to the side, bolted to the brackets where the stock plastic screws go...
Super VXer
SBC makes the metal replacement "screws"...
...or you could just use a really big piece of velcro!

pbkid,
I have two 8" subs in airtight mdf enclosures mounted on one mdf "backplate" in the spare tire compartment. The whole assembly is held on by three bolts where the original spare tire mounting plate was attached. The backside of the assembly is covered in felt to minimize vibrations against the metal. Both of my amps are mounted on the backplate, between the enclosures, along with my power and ground distribution blocks. All the wiring is routed through a new hole in the hinge side of the door, and into the left side via the tail light. It has worked well for a year so far.........
