when you buy subs, they usually have special dimensions that they suggest for boxes. i got 2 12's and my box is huge. the sucky thing about it is that you can't push the box all the way back to the back seat. those damn bars are in the way. if you got money, go for the custom work.

Yeah I don't want a box that will take up alot of space in the back. And if possible I want to avoid big bulky boxes (won't be able to fit my golf clubs).

Yeah those damn bars prevent me from using my old 10inch sub with rectangular box. So I might be able to do somethin creative with this 12 inch sub speaker I just got. How much would it cost for a custom built box? Or is it better to build one myself? The goal is to minimize the space that the sub takes up.

getting one custom built is up to you.. they usually already have one made for you. you only have one 12 so im sure it wont take up that much space. i have two 12's and asked about a custom box with mirrors inside and they said 300-400...but thats a custom box thats flushed into my trunk. which really means that you can't see the actual rectangular shaped box...you just see a window with the subs

I have 2 JL 8" and they are in a T-Shaped Box so this way you can push the box up directly behind the seats and avoid hitting those two angular suspension pieces. I will try to take a pic of it tonight if i remember. The only thing with the box is that you loose use of your ski pass thru door cause the box will block it.

Actually, i found a small box for my single 10 inch speaker. The cool thing about it is ...it fits right b/w those suspension bars behind the backseats...perfect fit! I still have the luxury of enjoying the huge trunk space ...i can throw my golf bag in there this summer
