    Anyone know the dimensions of the ski-pass hole?

    I am going to order some materials online to build a sub box and dont feel like yanking my rear seat out in this weather.

      just take the cardboard backing out of your trunk and measure the hole from there...it'll take less than a minute.

          that's not feasible without dirtying the crap out of my nice clean work clothes. If i don't get an answer that's the obvious solution when i head home :)

              it is 11.875" between the 2 vertical braces.

              Just exactly what would you order online to build a box out of?

              Closing SOON!

                  Well, the dimensions are more for my trip to home depot after work. I'm ordering some dynamat, wiring, and whatnot online. I need to find a decent 4ch amp though, any recommendations? I'm not trying to make an award winning system out of this car....considering i paid all of $500 for it :). It's just a DD that i want some decent sound for my 65mi daily commute to work. Somehow I knew you'd pop in here to see what i'm doing...i've read many of your threads, all good stuff i must say.

                  Any idea what the vertical height is?

                  Also, is there a downside to using DSP speakers from an E39 with an aftermarket head unit? I've got a '98 540i that i put some CDT's in a while back, and the stock DSP 5.25 components are just sitting. From what i've read they're all 4ohm except for the midrange which is still in my e39.

                      I build my boxes at 15", which means you need to remove the trunk tar to get them in.

                          As crappy as this stuff usually is, i found this while messing around last night. It looks like it might fit the ski hole just about perfect. I have the smaller 8" one in my '94 Suburban under the front seat and it does the trick for me. I needed something that was totally hidden and this worked well. Bring on the hate :D
