The amp, subs, and box I used were all pulled out of storage from an install 15+ years ago in a Trans-Am.
I custom made that box for the Trans-Am and am just re-using it.

1.1CF Box OD v2.PNG
I drew up this 1.1 cubic foot internal volume box as a possible custom design for the Stinger. Dimensions are based off of using 3/4" MDF.
Edit: I checked the dimensions and cut the height down from 15" to 14" to clear the hatch cover when it rotates up.
Note: with this design you add .9CF of internal volume when you add an inch onto the depth. so by adding an inch (depth at top would be 3-1/2" and the depth at the bottom would be 10-3/8) then you would be at 1.1CF + .9CF = 2CF

I'm debating on making that box or going with custom formed fiberglass boxes behind each of the rear tires similar to this.

It would be a lot easier to do the box behind the seat and you only really loose a couple of inches behind the seat...
Still unsure.

BTW can you let me know which color is the right and left channel? Is the Blue/Brown the remote wire?

Remote wire was on the blue connector and was a blue wire with what I'd call a red stripe
Speaker wires are on the red connector. I believe that Blue and red were a pair and green and orange were a pair. both are for the front speakers. (At least on the HK system)

I recommend that after you tap into the speaker wires you test each pair by touching the wires to each end of a AA battery to make sure that you have the correct speaker.

Great job [MENTION=1047]WildBill[/MENTION]. This is a perfect writeup as I was thinking about adding a Bazooka base tube I have from my old car.

So is it better to use the front door speakers for connection to the LOC than the sub speakers for the inputs?
