So you peaked my curiosity and I just had to go out and do some work. I pulled the form out and made the rings. I laid in the ring and it looks like it's going to be about at it's deepest point 14''L X 9"W X 12"H. Here's where you come in, I need you to convert this to cubic feet for me :confused: . Now keep in mind depending where you decide to trim the form, you can add and decrease the volume.

I get 0.875 cubic feet (14x9x12)/1,728

Considering an audio upgrade so let me know how this turns out

Thanks for the info. Now we all have to keep in mind that there are odd angles and it's not consistent in shape, so my optimum size is .65 for the Morel's so I should be right there. :happydance:

i concur should be pretty close to .875 ft^3 im definitely going to mount the ring as close to flush with the plastic over the strut as possible, how much clearance do you figure i would have? i need 5" minimum. i can use up to .5 ft^3 and still have a pretty nice roll off. looks awesome by the way!

Thanks for the props! That was a concern of mine also. Now that you recalculated, I will be dropping the ring an inch. Right now as they sit, the dowels are 13" for the top which attaches at the furthest point in the box, 8" for the bottom two. We could probably drop it another 1" and you would still have the 5" depth that you need and be just above the strut tower. I went a little high due to the fact that I wasn't sure how to convert the numbers, so I figured more is better. I do like the look a little lower. If you need 5" depth I wouldn't go more then maybe 1.5"'s, although tilting the angle of the ring a little forward would provide you a little more depth. I’m not a fan of that look, but that's all about taste.I need 4.5"

YoungZ 09-18-2012 09:26 PM

Nice! thanks for the info! i could get away with 4.5" if i had to. i bought the fiberglass and stuff today so i will be doing this as soon as i get my car back!

Taking shape! I really should start a build thread.

YoungZ 09-20-2012 07:44 PM

Looks Awesome Man! Can't wait to see the finished product!

tommyguns 09-20-2012 08:42 PM

Thanks guys.I'm working on the angle of the ring. I'm thinking slightly towards the seating area, following the angle of the strut tower. Any thoughts?

I'm thinking that this will be the spot for me. I really didn't want them facing the cabin, but due to their size, I don't think it will be over powering. That’s why I’m holding onto my other enclosure.
