quick question about darknight1999's subboxes
To anyone who bought one or to darknight1999 himself....
i was wondering what the volume of the box was.(10" subwoofer box) I tried looking for the thread but it seems to be gone and Darkknights's PM box has been full for awhile now..IF any owners can give me an answer, it would be great! thanks

I pulled this from the FAQ at the top. It looks like it's about .8 cu ft based on what I've seen.
Hope this helps.
Where can I put a 10" or 12" sub?
The first step in making space for your amps and subs is to remove that styrofoam piece with the spare tire tools, wrap up the tools in a towel, and put them in the spare tire. Now, you have the whole recessed area free for a subwoofer.
Note that the JL Stealth Box will fit in this space and is defenitely an option open to you.
However, Any local shop would charge you at most $150 to make a box out of MDF and with all or part of the leftover $300+, you can get any number of great subs. The general shapes that will give you the most airspace are:
...in order of increasing internal volume but also increasing complexity. I have the measurements readily available here:

Expect to get about 0.7 cu ft, 0.8 cu ft, and 0.9 cu ft out of the three shapes--respectively.
If you think you'll need more volume than 0.9 cu ft, it'll probably be really tough with MDF and so you'd be looking at having to use fiberglass with which you could probably get as much as 1.2 cu ft.
Tips on working out some of the angles in these enclosures can be found here in this thread by Campbuds.
