Hello Guys and Girls,

A friend of mine had a bandpass box that fits 12's and an amp that he no longer needed. So I decided to take them off his hands. I'm not sure exactly what I plan to do with out. However i'm losing my trunk space. I might decided to make something custom. However i'm looking for ideas. Please share.

Here is what I have:

There would be room to have the amp in back of the box. But there no more cargo space. I would buy speakers, the amp works. So I would connect to the stock stero. I'm not sure what I should do. However I'm losing my trunk space. I might have to make something custom and fiberglass.

Dose that hold 2 12s, you could find a smaller box that holds the same, If your looking for tight bass get a sealed encloser not a ported one. Me personally i would just look around and i would get maybe one 12 or 2 10s. Hope this helps.

Not only are you going to loose your trunk space, but with the size of that crate/box, you'll be loosing your hearing too!!! :D :lol: :smile: That is a big freakin box dude!!!

That thing probably provides enough bass to slowly disintegrate your HHR into small little pieces... :nuts:

Have fun... :p:

I was trying to think of a way to mount the spare up against the wall of the cargo area and make a cover out of vinyl or something..

With a enclosure that big you'll have to find subs that'll operate well with the amount of internal volume that box has, and possibly a stronger amp imo. I thought i had sacrificed alot of cargo space with my enclosure but you got me beat.

Man! Really SIHHR, there is no need for a box larger than this in the HHR:

I know you got it free, but I would just sell it and put in the Audiobahn bandpass with 2-10's. You can get them for a STEAL on eBay:

Audiobahn Bandpass Box w/2-10's (http://cgi.ebay.com/Audiobahn-ABP10T-Dual-10-Subs-w-Box-Neon-Mirror-NEW_W0QQitemZ9704314798QQcategoryZ50570QQssPageNam eZWD9VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I run a 300-watt amp at 2-ohms on this box and it is solid in the HHR.

Regarding space issues:

I just finished hauling my bass amp and guitar (in hardshell case), back there this week with no problems. A few weeks ago I mad e a trip to Lowe's to buy shelving for our parts storage. Ended up putting 3 wall-sized storage racks + 2 base cabinets AND a 78-inch x 24-inch DOOR in the HHR! All with my little Audiobahn box hooked up and playing.

So don't tell me you have hauling issues...I don't. :D
