Silver Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 574 Registered: Oct-06 | hello I'm looking to build a sub box that is water,sand,mud proof. Its for a low depth pioneer 10 sub. which will be mounted in a dune buggy. hints why i need a weather proof one. i could make it out of mdf and have it line-x so that its water proof but does anybody got any ideas on how to build one? |

Silver Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 581 Registered: Oct-06 | hmm i don't know much about box design but what about a box and a extra area infront of it to give it room to breathe but also completly enclose it and then line-x it which is the same thing as bedliner. of course you would never beable to acess the sub unless you broke the box or put a seal on it and made hinges and such but. kind of like this  |
