Default has anyone fit a 15" sub in a hawkeye saloon?

I'm struggeling to picture a box big enough for the sub and how i'd get it in the boot, just wondered if anyone can point me to some pictures for a bit of inspiration before a waste a few hours and sheets of mdf working it out.

Cheers,
Shane.

not a hawkeye mate but that's a 15" sub and box behind my rear seats.

Not a lot of room for anything else in the boot mind

Cheers for the reply,

approximate INTERNAL dimensions will need to be approximately

11.89 " deep
32.09 " High
19.81 " wide

Or a variant thereof. This will give an INTERNAL volume of 4.3741 Cu Ft (approx)

This is only a rough guide but should save some time with the card and tape.

Alternatively check out carstereo.com and look for the "How To" guide.

Thanks again,
Im from the BIG spl briggade so my usual plan of attack is brace it with steel, then fill it with mdf and fibreglass. Obviously that only applies to old stuff for competing, the cardboard was to make a shaped box the firstly follows the contours of the boot to maximise usable area but more importantly to make sure once it's built i can actualy get it inside the car.
