Nice job BTW.
Well there actually 6 and 1/2 inch...Pioneer 3 ways basically 6" lol...
Heres what i used to get me started....
http://www.sweptline.com/tech/spkrbox.html
This is how I came up with my measurements....I used a small 10' tape measure. And looked under seat taking all kinds of measurements.... Measure from floor to the bottom of seat. In many locations front back middle...just look to see what would be in the way then measure to it around it whatever it takes to get the diminsions you need. It very simple once you look under there and measure width and length then your height...you get it!......I did have to disconnect the wire that controls the seat latch adjuster for the passenger side. I never move my seat it stays all the way back against the gas tank. So I did see the importance of the seat being adjustable? plus the wire hangs down right across the middle of the whole bench seat.and mine hung down like a inch. So by removing this wire I gained the much need height for the boxes. You sure dont have much to work with so any extra room is great.
If you look on the page I pasted obove there are printable plans you can go off of to see the basic shape that you'll need to make .....Higher in front and lower in back. You get the picture... My seat touches the boxes so i have them in there tight.My seat bolt holes lined right up when I put the bench back in..The higher position holes on the floor brackets for me.I wanted to use the lower holes but the boxes would have had to been even smaller. And i think there small enough...
Sounds fantastic....Screems good and bumps good when I want it too! The Alpine radio has great sound control to it..you can tweek it just perfect the way you like it. I didnt right down exact dimensions of my boxes cause I built it has I went sorta...but I can remember some of them I'll have to jot them down..I did have to make the passenger side box 1/2 inch shorter...front to back.....so it would fit behind the front seat floor bracket....for some reason the passenger side front floor bracket is closer to the center hump then the driverside... ..Im glad I set the drivers side box down on that side before I started on the second box.....
length and width driver side box...13"x18" Cant remember the height front and rear? but you'll want to use your own measurement for height cause your seat maybe mounted in different position then mine!
length and width passenger side box....13"x17 1/2"
height is the same on both boxes... front height and rear height.
also put on a new antenna... I used the original mounting hole on the drivers side cowl righ off the corner of windsheild.... Its a 14 inch rubber coated style...Doesnt look to bad...I bought this one at best buy for like $15... Went to autozone and they had a plethera of antennas there!...some nice chromed ones that look like originals! I might just go get one after all!
All I cant express how nice this thing sounds...My laundry room is between the garage and the kitchen so theres two doors to go threw to get in the kitchen from the garage......I pulled into garage with the volume on 16 i think? The songs was Got a brand new Girlfriend....keith urban??? Anyway my wife comes out into garage saying how loud it was inside the kitchen with both doors closed. The 6 inch speakers put off great bass And the 4x6's in the dash blast clear....Ive been picking out flutes and other wierd instruments in certain songs that i never heard in the song before! Im tickled pink about this system....Greatest improvement i think ive down to the truck....Much more in return on this job i guess.
Glad you guys like....I definitely love it on my end
Let me know if you need any help or hints
