OK, so they are slanted on the front, so depthe is 10" at the bottom, 4" at the top, then 26" wide and 15" tall. Weight is 35 pounds...sorry for the all US specs, I don't feel like converting as I am fucking beat. This E34 is still kicking my ass, but I have so much shit fixed its unreal.

And lol yeah my first post :S, been hanging around unseen for a while now!

I just wanted to bump this thread for Luke cuz he makes bad ass boxes!!

And I also love the fact that Lee was being a huge dumbass and as soon as he found out he was being a fucking idiot he never came back to respond to this thread. Lmfao.

Wow...a first post! Korbee, I have no freaking clue about that. Maybe we can see if we can get about 8 guys together and do shipping like that? Could you do a little research and see if you can find the best way to ship from here?

12" box is almost 50 pounds empty, 10" box is 35 pounds.

If your car had trunk tar, that weighed 57 pounds...so you can re-achieve proper weight balance!

Awesome Thanks. However I got an m30 up front so I guess I could use a little junk in the trunk! Definitely going with the 12, and when I have the money I'll get a remote start from you as well!

How much does a 12" box weight approx? I just stripped out the system in my car the PO had installed and it was heavy as fuck, but that Included a 1000W amp, capacitors, and two 12's. Sounded great but it was not efficient, had no trunk.

Is a 12 box much heavier than a 10? Looking for my next step. Thx

cool good stuff. glad to hear its back on the road.

Luke, have you ever built your box with the port holes facing towards the speaker holes on the rear shelf? Would it work? (I got an M3 rear bench).

You must not have seen how the 12" box works...the ports on that do go through the top of the box. That design was the start of this whole thing and the actual prototype is in James Crivellones car, as it fitting. Pics of his build are somewhere on here.

One of the main design goals was "no cutting ANYTHING" and the 10" box does that flawlessly. The 12" box requires 2 holes precisely drilled through the rear deck. I cannot make a box deep enough without either wasting space (sorry, I don't do that) as it is too big for a 10"...thus the 12 box, which has less than 1/4" between the back wall of the box and the ports. There is a whole thread about all that stuff though.

Now, about your actual needs: the M3 seat is second only to the arm rest seat in bass performance when left unmodified. The early (coco-padded, that shredded crap) cloth is 3rd, Cloth+foam is 4th, Vinyl+foam 5th and what my car came with, leather with foam padding is worst.

I am kinda half-assed kicking around an idea of making a tunnel, shaped like the ski pass, made of MDF and wrapped in black (or whatever) vinyl that would require chopping a hole through the back seat...but it would have to be sexy and nice, but I could also incorporate a drink holder and an armrest!
