sub box did you buy?
Finding one that fits a ranger w/o cutting is a PITA
I have built hundreds of them I love building sub boxes!! Its a fun design and build project, working with wood is tooooooooo easy

I purchased a Box that I thought would fit behind the seats... BUT, it was a little too big so I decided to return it AND as usual I ran into trouble on returning it.   The Seller wanted $23.00 to return a box that only cost $28.00 !  WTF is going on, I have heard of this return cost thing before but I have never been bitten.
After I told the seller I was going to report then to Amazon and post that their store was a scam, they lowered the price to $!6.00 for the return, but I decided to keep it and cut it down some to fit what I want.

I was told that by adding some sort of fiber filler, I can virtually increase the area of the box, IF I happen to cut it too small.  The Shallow 10" Woodier I have only need .35 - .5, I think cu. ft... and this one is .88, so I think I can cut some off.  I will be trying to make it narrow enough to fit the shelf behind the seats and put a notch in it to fit the notch in the Reg Cab under the window.   Plus I need the room for the seat... just need to e time... says the Master Procrastinator !
My problem will be resetting the rear panel of the box and hoping I can get the side pieces off of the piece I cut off so I can reuse it.  Why do I do this to myself evey time I start a project.
Can I add some Fat Mat to the inside of the Woofer Box, do you think it would hurt anything ?
I will be adding some of the Fat Mat to the insides of the outer panels and to the inside panel also.  I added some this Mat to the rest fo the Cab a while back, man did that make a difference in road noise.  All I have left to add mat to are the doors, and the inside of the roof.
