I got a hold of a Night Vision Ammo Can type box. I cut a hole in it and mounted the stock speaker in it. I made a bracket for the bottom and the top to hold it. Night vision cans come with a thick foam lining on the inside that I kept. The bass makes a slight wah wah sound when I crank it. Does anybody know what could be causing this sound? I have never made a speaker enclosure before. Everything is tight.
Update: The bottom bracket is just a piece of aluminum bent on one end with holes in it to bolt it to the ammo can. I reused the existing mounting points from the stock sub to bolt it to the jeep. I ended up taking out the foam and lining the inside with MDF board. I just cut 4 rectangles, made a hole in the front one for the speaker face, and a hole in the back for the wires. I then glued it. I reused the existing grommet for the wires. The MDF fixed the resonancing that I was getting. I don't think the original face was strong enough.

Update: I ended up changing the speaker grill for a cleaner look.
