Great video, i truly appreciate all you do in car audio. You teach us so much and make car audio DIY's fun. When my 15 yr old starts driving next year I'm gonna hook his ride up. I have used lots of your techniques in my Vette and my truck, thanks again.

“So that’s looking pretty bodacious” 😂

[Mrcaffinebean]

Love your videos and I love how you show the the process of problem solving. This build is looking great!

That wheel to trace the line is very clever, used other methods similar, but a wheel is such an elegant solution.

Hey Man, I'm kitting out my van into a camper and have gone a little off track and got right into my stereo install since watching your videos. I've just made myself a crude router table that works a treat and today just made my first complex shape using your technique. Actually it's my first time using a router and man I'm having fun. Thanks for the great videos. They are getting my hyped.

I just got my first router with a flush trim bit. I had to make a plate to replace a Bose 8 inch sub and 3 inch midrange in the doors of a 2002 Corvette to fit 6x9's. Thanks to watching all of your videos, I had to no problem knocking those plates out.

[Hahabunks]

[ianmorado]

Mark you're a good man.Like the rest whom have posted here, your videos are super informative and entertaining. Your skills are outstanding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge bro!

[drumandbassob]

love that wheel technique, i fit dry wall for a living and its not that often i have to do awkward shapes but next time i do i will be using that technique, the usual way i do it is by taking about 5 measurements and then joining them up to get my contour your way is better, good vid mate

[michaelcraig]

I need one for my 2011 jeep jk 2 door. Nice build!!!

[avisaurus]

Glad I found you. Awesome techniques and tools. Looking forward to more vids on this build.

[JoeIsCrazyWillman]

That's fantastic!
I can't imagine the cost tho for this type of box, not only for the number of work steps and extra working of upholstery, but also how many pieces of MDF have to be used to get that depth. Lot of waste tracing hollow shapes. Probably took you at least 3 sheets of MDF to do this box, no doubt.
Designing for particular spaces, especially small ones is quite the chore. I myself am doing one currently for a single cab Ranger, and MAN, there is so little room behind the seats (and not enough under them to even fit an amp on the floor) that I'm struggling to even get a 0.7-0.85 cu ft box back there while letting the seats MOSTLY slide back and recline the way they could factory. What a challenge this is. I guess I'm going to be stuffing with poly fill pretty heartily to try and make it work out alright.

[IcarusTECH]

Why can you use the round bearing guide on the MDF, but have to use the square one when using the ABS guides?
Great videos!

I want to cut up my current box, & make it fit into my 1980 Pontiac Bonneville, around the spare tire...

It will b interestin to see how it ends up..
