First off, let me give credit where credit is due. Special thanks to Maurice (lifted97ranger) and Logan (My91Ranger). Both of these guys had already built similar boxes and posted pics, I just asked them a few questions and went from there. Tools needed are just basic shop tools such as: Circular saw Screw gun Brad nailer (if you have one, not absolutely necessary) Liquid Nail Ratchet set 3/4" MDF Assembly of the box is pretty straightforward. Just make sure your cuts are true and that you use a good, long bead of liquid nail in all the joints. This will ensure you have a nice, tight seal all the way around. Remove the jumpseat. This just takes the removal of a few bolts and it's out. Attachment 115700 The following pics are of the finished box after final assembly. I didn't think to take pics as I was building it, so I removed it and took several shots and included a tape measure so you can get a better idea of the dimensions.

Attachment 115710 Attachment 115711 Attachment 115712 Attachment 115713 Attachment 115714 Attachment 115715 Attachment 115716 Attachment 115717 Attachment 115718 Attachment 115719 Attachment 115720 Attachment 115721 The following are shots of the hole that I drilled in the bottom of the box so that it could be bolted to the floor of the cab. Dont mind the small hole and the poker chip covering it, that was my first (missed) attempt. Measurements are taken from the front, left corner of the box. Attachment 115722 Attachment 115723 Attachment 115724 This is the bolt hole you will use to secure the box to the cab floor (The one with the red triangle around it). Attachment 115725 You will need to get a longer bolt in order to make up for the additional space between the bottom of the box and the bolt hole. I just took the original jumpseat bolt to the local hardware store and matched up the threads. Attachment 115726 Here is the finished box before installing. I put some polyfill in it to help out with the sound. There will be plenty of room to get a ratchet in the speaker hole in order to bolt the box in. Attachment 115727 After you've installed the box and bolted it to the floor, just screw in your sub of choice (mine is a 10" Kicker), wire it up and you're done! Attachment 115728 For a little added bonus, I also took some shots of where I mounted my amp. All I did was pull the rear panel and cut out some of the foam padding. I then took a piece of 3/4" plywood and screwed that in place of the padding I just removed. Screw the amp into the panel and plywood, drill a few holes to run your wiring and re-install the panel.

this is exactly what im looking to do but would there be a way for my 06 where the seat fold into the door flush (i dont know if thats how your truck is) to have the speaker set flush with the door like the seat did.
i like speakers but i want them to look clean and professionally done and this job looks great |
this is legit!
another great how to DIY thread you can do, is your nitrous kit install! i went through your entire list of "started threads" and didnt find it :[ |
This is excellent. I've had this Idea with mine since I got it. I bet if you used a shallow mount sub and edited the dimensions you could get a flush to close to flush fit. This looks and probably sounds amazing.
