    thump thump.. new sub install

    STILL modding my VX.. i seriously need help.. i decided that i wanted to put a sub in the rear door now that ive got oversized tires and cant use the spare.. heres the progress....

    all thats left now is to cover it (got padded black vinyl) and install it...

    it uses the 3 bolt holes that hold the factory spare tire holder

    the sub is the Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 3 shallow mount

    Your box looks sweet.
    I went with the Kicker Wakeboard boat subwoofer. It is a solid Poly box, UV resistant, waterproof, and fit in the spare area perfect. I cut a hole in the extra rear door cover that I had from the abandoned VX that was at the local Isuzu dealership. It works like a champ, and I mounted a boat cleat to the box for easy portability.
    Got it for 50 bucks at Circuit City, it was a display, never even been hooked up...

    ran into some fitment issues.. got em taken care of now, building is done, im gonna ride around with it empty for a couple days, see how it holds up, then all thats left is to cover and mount the sub!

    heres the raw product..



    storage on the sides for 1 bottle of oil, one bottle of ATF, and a pair of sandals



    storage on the other side for jumper cables



    and still room for a socket set, fire extinguisher and mag light on top (yes i will be installing straps to hold them in place during offroading)

    Any concerns about rattling the fire extinguisher, or any other "chemicals" that may go on top of the sub?

    hm now that you mention it.. it might be a bad idea to put the fire extinguisher up there... but the oil and stuff im not concerned about, currently my oil is stored on its side inside my sub box, at least now its standing upright

    Good looking idea eric.

    Haven't you though of dressing the box in black ?
