    Here is my chicken scratch measurements, my disclaimer is that this worked for me, I cannot guarantee it will work for anyone else. As Krappy said, modify the width of the box to get the volume you need for your specific speaker.

    Is that 1/8" angle aluminum? Will it support the weight of the Hellas? I cant really tell how thick it is from the pics.

    1/8th by 1 1/2 aluminum, it should support them just fine.

    Added a couple things yesterday, oil catch can, got it for 15 bucks on ebay, and about 2 bucks worth of hose from autozone, and my afe cold air intake that I modified the heat shield on to keep some of the engine bay heat out.

    I suppose I'll sub to this... :spy:

    If you haven't already .. I used some smaller but same thickness angled aluminium for vertical supports on my light bar. I found that after installing the lights, the weight made them shake and vibrate. The supports fixed that and they are solid now. Also had that same intake. :)

    Lookin good. :thumbsup:

    Isn't that good? Or do you mean the oil froze from the cold?
