Adding a subwoofer to your truck will have big benefits for the sound. Your bass will be stronger, and the overall sound much fuller and richer. To work properly, a subwoofer must be placed into an enclosure, commonly referred to as a subwoofer box. In the case of a truck, be sure that the subwoofer box has a good chance of fitting into the limited space behind the seat. This design holds a 10-inch subwoofer and will do the job in many trucks, and doesn't require anything beyond basic carpentry skills.
Instructions
1. Cut the front panel, rear panel, top and bottom panels for the sub box with your circular saw. Cut the pieces to the following dimensions.
Front: 14 by 12 inches
Rear: 14 by 12 inches
Top: 14 by 6 inches
Bottom: 14 by 6 inches
2. Cut an opening for the subwoofer into the front panel. Use your subwoofer as a template for the size of opening, and cut the opening with your drill and the jig saw.
3. Assemble the panels together with wood screws and carpenter's glue.
4. Cut two end panels for the subwoofer box, measuring 6 by 13 1/2 inches, with your circular saw. Cut an opening for the terminal cup into one of the panels, using your drill and the jig saw.
5. Mount the end panels onto the box, using wood screws and carpenter's glue.
6. Attach a 12-inch length of speaker wire to the inside tabs of the terminal cup. Feed the wire into the box, and then mount the terminal cup to the box with wood screws.
7. Attach the other end of the speaker wire to the subwoofer, and then mount the subwoofer into the box with wood screws. Place the box into your truck and connect to your amplifier.
