Subwoofer and Amp

Okay not really sure what your attitude is about. I was simply trying to help. Ask anyone that knows anything about audio. You match you sub to your box. You can throw one in and hope it goes well. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So you got a stock box and made a slightly larger wood version. That's fine, however chances are the internal volumes will still be close due to the thicker wood vs the plastic stock one. Good luck.

When you get it all in take some pics and let us know how it sounds.

Just take a plastic trash bag, stick it inside the and cut out, and fill it with water or sand. When full pour it out into something you can measure like milk gallon jugs and that will give you the volume. Also we need the mounting depth so we know how deep the sub can be. This is all to determine the best possible sub for your specific enclosure. Which is the best way to do it.

I learn something new all the time off of this site, never even thought about doing that! I'll have to stuff that in the back of my head for the next speaker box project, thanks for sharing!

Once I get this box made and installed I will send you all the dimensions of the box I mark down as I go.

Thanks for the write up. Just aquired a 2005 Denali XL, imagine my surprise to find this stupid speaker looking place in the cargo area isn't even cut out, much less have anything behind it.

So the 2000 burb came with a sub in this area? I may have to find me one of these from the salvage yard.

The 99-02 suburban and Yukon xl came with the sub in the back, that's the box you will need. The Tahoe's and swb Yukon's use a different box. People have put slim mount 8" subs in them and appears to work.

Be Careful

Be careful when you cut the slots out if you use a jigsaw its leaves jagged edges that you cannot sand down because its hard not taking the color off. What I used was a very sharp buck knife and cut them out that way. It takes a little work but making it look as stock as you can.

I tried with a dremel and it was a pain, ended up stopping half way through. when you used a knife, did you do it from the front side or the back?
