It doesn't show that well in the pic, but I bent that lip flat with a big pair of channel lock pliers.

(Don't worry about hotlinking the pics, I put them on my Charter webspace and they have tons of bandwidth)

Oh yeah, that foam has a half-life of about 200 years I have a shirt that I got some on about 5 years ago and it's been washed over 100 times, the foam hasn't budged

I am assuming that this spare can not be used anymore without serious work? or does anybody know?

[fitbmxseries1]

looks like you just pull those wing nuts off and the whole enclosure comes out i could be wrong though but that would be the best thing! lol

OMG!!! This is what I have been looking for! I just have two questions before I do this... 1) has anyone put a Type R in there? and 2) what did you mount the MDF to? What did you screw it to? Thanks guys...this helps me so much with the whole "Parents don't want me to have subs problem"

Sorry to revive an old thread. I am in the process of doing this cubbyhole sub project and had a few questions. I was wondering where you put the 1/2" collection of wires that go to the tail light? I see your MDF cutout for the seatbelt area but not a hole for those wires. Help please!! BTW, Your setup is very nice

[Kris Is Awesome]

I too, found this again... Tomorrow I'm hacking on some MDF... I hope my type R fits in there (10")

Bumping this for anyone that may have found any new tips or tricks with this. I am going to be doing this with my 00 XJ.

[Higgs98XJ]

[Jamman]

IIRC it's like 5" if you want to mount to the back of the board, and that plus the thickness of your board if you want to mount it on the front. Also, it depends on where you center your hole.

sorry to dig up an old thread but im about to do this to my 1991 cherokee, so far im choosing the sub and amp and had an atempt at taking of the pannel, i have a shoulder strap, and the danm thing is freaken impossible to get off.
it wont even budge one bit. it feels like somone welded it, i put me (145lb's) on the end of a 3ft long wrench, and pretty much jumped, Not even a milimeter. anyone know how to just pop the seatbelt off ? i mean the fabric part.
any help would be much apprieciated

oh btw violence doesnt solve everything.... hitting a wrench... not a good idea

When I did this, I just cut the plastic interior panel and slid the seatbelt through the cut. It may not be the best looking thing in the world but unless you're looking for it, I don't think you'd ever notice it. My seatbelt stayed right where it always was. I just taped some cardboard around the sealt assembly to prevent the expanding foam from seizing it.

Resurrecting an old thread, but I think I may have found a good solution for anyone looking to do this but not so sure about their fabrication skills (I know that's me, anyway).

Background: I do alot of driving and having some decent "tunes" is important to me. Mostly I was just looking for more low-end fill while retaining sound quality and cargo room, but couldn't seem to find anything pre-fabricated that fit the bill.

I have wanted to DIY this for some time, and this thread has been a great reference, but I have been putting it off for some time because I wanted something totally enclosed in back and sealed. Each time I got everything planned out I was afraid to start cutting. If the JL Stealthbox or something similar was still around, I probably would have bought that (I tried actually), but even that took up more space than I'd like. The only simple and semi-stealthy product I could find currently in production is the Select Increments XJ-pod, but I really don't like the idea of screwing thin plastic over more thin plastic and adding a sub. They also don't get very good reviews, so I wasn't sold on that idea.
Finally I contacted the guys over at subthump.com about making me one since they come highly recommended on the Camaro/Firebird boards for stealth enclosures. They worked with me to figure out what they could fit in the space and how to make it look and sound best. In the end I got exactly what I was looking for at a great price. I was telling the owner, Steve, about my troubles finding a good solution on the market and he said he'd keep the plans around and if anyone's interested he can make another one up fairly quickly now that all the fabrication is out of the way. I'd post pics but I don't think I can.

So, I just figured I'd spread the word that if you're looking for a good alternative to building something yourself the guys at www.subthump.com can help you out. I wish I had gotten around to having this done sooner. Looks like they have the pics of mine on their homepage now too.

Also - I'm not affiliated with them, just spreading the word about this product because it seems to be a topic that comes up alot and I was impressed with the quality.
