No box, but I can't imagine that a box would STOP the deck from rattling....

I had two Audiobahn 12's in my Mazda MX 6 and they hit pretty Hard. You can Custom make any thing you want but it will $$$$ call here 561-361-0048 or 561-361-4040 176A Glades RD in Boca Raton. and if you can come to miami theres alot of shops that would do that for you but like I said $$$$

Boy...dunno how you guys feel about old threads being bumped but, what the heck.
I feel dumb cuz it's a simple question too.
Anyways, did you have to cut the metal to fit that 12" sub in the rear deck? yea hey?
I just want some bass since my stock sub is missing...so I think I'll go with a 10". but if I can throw a 12" in there with little to no modification I'd be set. I'm sure I could find a way to stop the deck from rattling too bad.

The factory sub is a 10" sitting inside a 12" template that bolts to the rear deck..If you remove the template any 12" aftermarket sub will drop right in as long as its not to deep because it will hit the gas tank..If you do add a 12" sub make sure you sound deaden the whole rear deck to avoid rattling..

I just put in 2 12" kickers and they bump. You wont regret these. 1000 watt kicker amp helps out too.

Cool. Now I'm wondering who Shoaf's guys are cuz I'm right in Orlando.
I've always done my own head unit & speaker installs, but I've never had a sub/amp yet (those things are friggin EXPENSIVE in the Bahamas ) I don't want to mess up this system screwing around with it.

and it's just my luck that my stock sub is missing and the cd changer isn't hooked up. Well, the amp should still be there cuz the speakers still work, but they are way too quiet, so it just might be gone...

well, I'm looking at an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12d VQ sub, and either an alpine or Infinity amp.(unless I hit a pawn shop and find something nice and cheap) lol.
