Default TJ Rear Storage box / sub enclosure design

Hi Guys.


This is the design for the rear storage box i want to build. It will also have a 10" sub enclosure built in. I Plan to mount two amps to the front also if they are hidden enough.






Im looking for any sugestions to make it better. Or just discussion on alternatives.

PS: Google sketch up is an incredible program

When ive decided on design ill cut out the sections needed to accomodate the rollbar at the rear.

Then ill make a full modelled drawing showing where i could mount amps / hi lift, and maybe a spare.


I was thinking of using 18mm mdf.

Ofcourse if i mount a big spare i may need to think bigger and also consider water damage if by the chance it sees some water.

MDF all over will be really heavy. Do the 18mm for the sub enclosure to stop it moaning but use 8mm and 12mm CD ply wood everywhere else to save weight. (Floor for example is overkill in 18mm and sure to get wet.)

good point.

now im thinking of using ply for the top and bottom.

The sides and front i think still will need to be mdf for the sub... i could layer the top and bottom parts with mdf to make it stronger.
