    *first time trying to attache an image to sorry if it doesn't come through*

    I drew this up today and was hoping that some of you who have built this in that past could look at it and tell me if my numbers seem right. Any thoughts or suggestions would be MUCH appreciated as i plan on building and installing this weekend.

    Cutting the cross member sounds WAY easier than putting a crazy notch in the box... i think i might go that way... how did you secure it to the back wall of the cab? or is it just held in by the seats?

    You also have to consider all the little tabs on the back for the plastic bins... gotta make little indentions for those too.

    I cut off the rear bar, cut off all the plastic attachmetn points, and used the outter shell as a trim piece. Much more airspace that way... bolted box to floor.

    Sounds!
    The top of my box is 3" and it doesn't hit the seat. All other measurements seem to be similar to mines. I can install a 10" sub that is a little more than 5" deep with a magnet that is approximately 6" in diameter.
