It is possible to build a box that will hold most 10" subs and still maintain all targa storage and spare tire gear. I sell the box for $325 plus shipping.

Call me if you would like more information.

that looks pretty clean..........how does it sound????
also......what would the box with the 10 look like..........
I had a 10 in my old integra.......and i have a ads 10 in my m3.....it sounds great....with the right amount of room......

how much Cubic space is in the box????

Thanks

Steve
It sounds pretty good. I'm not sure what size is the box, the stereo place built a fiberglass box to fill up the whole stock sub location. Check with Thomas for the box for 10" sub.

I am interested in the box, Thomas. I called, but you were out, I'll call wed.
I'm also interested

Pics please - installed and not. $325 is sans speaker - correct? Am going to be replacing my stock system soon so...
id like to see pics of the 10 inch sub box too before i buy.
Bump...

I've e-mailed Thomas with no response. Has anyone had any luck getting in touch with him? Not tried the phone as during the day I'm darned busy and forget to call (sigh).

Anyone using one of his boxes? I've found a head unit :D and will be gathering parts for the install - I'd like a sub box and don't know what my local shop would charge for it. Tons most likely!
Theres a custom shop that will do it for a little bit less but I would prefer it to be made by someone who has done quite a few of them for the supra. All I need is a pic of it and i'll more than likely order one.
Me too...

I took a look at the space last night and I'm not sure how you would fit something in there. I've seen pics of some boxes made by others but no real details. I'm not willing to buy something completely sight unseen....

I just called Custom Autosounds and asked for Thomas Kenyon and was told that he no longer worked there :-(

The guy did tell me that they could make a sub box for the MKIV but they need the car to do it.....in other words, no prefab, shipped to your door, sub box...damn.

Just thought I'd let everyone know,

Aw damn!

Well, hopefully someone else in the community will pop up with one then. My headunit is on the way now, maybe I'll be forced to let my local shop build something for me. :(

The wedge box looks nice but I'm trying to use up as little storage space as possible if I can help it. I lived with this ->
For awhile and it was always a challenge packing to go someplace. Sounded great though! :D

This sub shit is really pissing me off. I got so much different quotes for the sub box, but more importantly, i dont think i can trust any of the stereo shops in my area. i didnt ask but i doubt they can guarantee whatever custom box will sound great too. if anyone got a 10" sub in the stock location please post a pic of it when looking into the hatch and a pic with the carpet pulled back. i might have to go with the wedge box but i dont want to use up the little space that already exists back there.
