OH while I was writing about under camper sub boxes the first box was a
sealed box rectangle shaped with a triangle shaped back that fit the back
metal wall , with the sub facing up, that didn't work as I could never get
the sofa bed bottom to stop vibrating. I also picked up a wooden camper
seat bottom at the junk yard for when/if I want to go back to stock :)
IF I was going to do a really custom speaker install I think I'd just use
the rear clothes closet. bottom back corner---I guess it just depends on
what kind of things you carry around. Lloyd
