Wicked CAS rear corner magic box install pics.... who's got'em?
 

just got my new enclosure, but don't really have any info on how to mount/secure it. Any one have pics/instructions on how to install it? what hardware to use?

I am referencing this enclosure (minus the CF wrap)

I want that CF wrap, where'd you get it?! Mine is carpeted so I basically used a bunch of velcro to secure it.

Im all for finding a better way though it sometimes moves.

that is not my setup, merely the same enclosure I have, but mine is only vinyl wrapped.

I got mine installed tonight. Basically two holes need to be drilled and two screws used to secure it. few tweeks of my amp and my revamped audio setup sounds really good. This box is really nice. Very subtle and you retain 98.7% of your hatch space

what sub do you currently have for it? Does it sound nice in that box and location?

I got it with the JL 10w3v3. I am very happy with the sound. I took out my alpine type X I had in an understrut enclosure. I really liked the alpine sub... truely a monster. This setup doesn't have the head room of the alpine, but I am not a person that loves an extreme amount of bass, and the alpine was just too much (mainly physically). I messed with my settings for about 1/2 hr last night after the install and dialed this thing in and it met every expectation I had. If you are looking for tons of bass, maybe look for another more aggressive setup. If you are looking for a nice balance and SQ, I doubt you will be dissapointed.

The rest of my setup includes:
Alpine 9833 HU
Phoenix Gold Xenon X200.4 Amp
Phoenix Gold RSd 65cs components in OEM door location
OEM rears have been disconnected

The install pics from Wicked I've seen show them taking the tail light off and screwing though the area behind it right into the box.

I've also see people screw through the bottom of the box into the foam below the carpet. Not as secure, but probably good enough.

You could also screw through the back of the box into the trim piece directly behind it.

When I had mine (not wicked's, but same general concept) I didn't secure it at all. Not the best idea.

One suggestion I would make is that you check the wall thickness of the box. I've only seen one, and it was pretty good, but some of the wicked boxes flex and seem like they should be reinforced.

Lots of options.....

My custom corner box, is bolted to the bottom of the trunk deck using the blot studs that are existing. But mine is different then Wicked CAS.

here are pics to reference for install. Basically drill out two locations behind the tail light. Predrill the box and set a screw into both spots. fits great and won't move:

i would be scared of rust if you plan on keeping the car

Zivman, i remember you said your brother works at a bodyshop. They have some anti rust paint down there, maybe he can help you with this. Last thing you want is rust in that area. Water and moisture gets trapped there.

no worries, I brush touched everything. completely sealed off.

I wish this box wasn't $300+ :icon16: :icon16: I'd be all over it.

there was DIY that I read through and he spent something like 275 bucks in material to build a similar box himself..... honestly the price seemed a bit lofty, but after having an understrut box and knowing it wasn't worth the hassle of building a box like this myself; buying this box was money well spent. Unobtrusive, fits nice, and sounds good

Bump... Interested in seeing some pics.

Too bad I'm on someone's ignore list.....:eek:

Any idea what the mounting depth is on the corner box? Will a polk sr 10 fit in there with a 7" depth?

with this box, is the spare still easily accessible? Are there any non-permanent ways to secure the box down that would make it easy to remove? would be convenient for times if you need to carry more in the trunk

THIS SHOULD HELP.

I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS A LONG TIME AGO.

It helps to have 2 people.

I have the same question. This box appears to be what I want. Quality sound and lets me retain the majority of my cargo area. I am a little concerned about being able to access the spare tire area.

Here is a working link.
