The box is engineered to the "T" to get the best out of it. Off the top of my head, I don't have the dimensions. But, if you give me the model # of your 12", I can help you out in designing a box specifically for that speaker. Once upon a time, I squeezed two 12s behind the seat of a Mazda pickup, so I know it will fit fine in our squares.


Meanwhile, I got Gerald running again yesterday. Wifey was running errands in my daily truck, and I needed lumber. So, I tore down the carb again, adjusted the float, and couldn't find any explanation why it was leaking. After a test run, I took it to HomeyD. Got some lumber, and did some cruising with no leaks!
Funny you mention the Mazdas... I LOVE B2200s... I have had 4-5 of them and all were BUILT - this was before I got into muscle cars then I merged my slammed trucks with muscle cars into my past 2x C10s (the 67 and now my 85).... that was my progression. LOL I had 2 12s in my single cab b22 also but the seat was way up to make it fit. I used the back wall as the back of the box and sealed the rest to it.

As for the front speakers in the c10, the 4" are a lil too big. I had JBL 3.5"s in there and they fit perfect. The pass side 4 fits fine with some trimming but the driver's side is too shallow. I dont have it in right now till I can devise a workaround. The center 3x9 is the beez kneez tho!!! it just dropped right in. I just happened to have a set of the 3x9s and tried it and it was like Christopher Columbus discovering America!
