Ok... so in the quest to construct the perfect stereo.... I've decided that I need to build a custom subwoofer box.

I want to build it to mount up under the passenger side dash.... and mount it so that there's still room for my passengers' feet.

Question: Can I drill into the forward (vertical) portion, or do I need to drill from the top?

How close to the forward firewall is the gas tank??

The LAST thing I want to do is drill a couple holes and fill the inside of my car with gas. What's safe?

ninefourteen, check out this site...

http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxes.asp

There's a huge amount of info about subs and speaker enclosures here. Somewhere in the site there's an article (step-by-step) on building custom (form-fitting) fiberglass sub enclosures, which would be perfect for a 914 pass. floor sub installation. You might have to ask on there BBS where it is (I was checking it out about 6 months ago), but it's there.
