My friend tried to fix subwoofers into his car but they just wouldn't fit. How can a person get precise measurements when opting to fix the subwoofers into the back of a car?

I prefer to let someone (with the necessary experience) handle such tasks. I realize that I am not so good at some things so I prefer to delegate even if this is at an extra cost.

I guess your friend was doing this for the first time?

Read the tape measure precisely. Laughing

Aside from that, you have to be really good with numbers to get them in the right places, and not everyone is that good.

Why bother with the trunk? Just cut a hole in the roof and put a plastic wash tub over it. Laughing

I liked it when there were already cut outs in the rear shelf of cars. It made it a lot easier. Now as you found out it can be a bit more troublesome.

This is brilliant; I have never thought of such a thing before. This looks like something I may want to try soon. The trunk has literally become a cliché.

Hi, Use something like an EV30W (30 inch woofer) and a wash tub for even greater bass. Laughing

I've always opted to have the more experienced people handle those kind of things for me because the truth is that I uaually make a mess of things and it ends up costing me more to fix my mistakes than it would have if I had just hired someone to do it.

As much as we might like to believe otherwise, not all of us are good with our hands or at designing stuff like what you want to do, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Just find a professional to do it for you and maybe you could watch and learn as they install the speakers in your trunk so that next time you know what to do.
