Looking good man, Any plans to cover or paint the enclosure?

Looking good.

Between the cold weather and taking care of my wife, progress is slow. I did add some bracing inside and out some feet in the enclosure. It’s lifted 3” in back and 4” in front. (Die to ****** hump). Looks rough but promise it will look good in the end.

Nice. Should have around 160 cubic inches of play for bracing. I was doing 3 designs when I did yours and can’t remember what I had going through my head honestly. I usually don’t put the bracing into my drawings since I’m also the builder. I just do a set amount of displacement and cut the bracing with my cut sheet and try to fit it all in as I go on the build. I gave lazy drawings I do for myself. It could’ve been more detailed. Lol.

Lol, it’s cool. This helped me out a lot!! Box is pretty sturdy. I’m sure it will perform well!

Interested to see what you come up with, I was gonna add a cubby/arm rest to the top of mine but haven't got around to it yet.

Basically just what you said. Cubby, arm rest, cup holders.

It will for sure perform well. I’ve done similar setups with a few different subs. I had a similar downfire in my work truck chevy S10 for years. I’m doing a box now for a single 10 with a flared 3 inch round aeroport for an extended cab. It’s just a normal forward firing box though. The aeroports save quite a bit of space. I like them in truck builds.

Same. Love aero ports but in this case, I think slot works out better. Single cabs don’t have much room. Anxious to get this up and running.

Looks like plenty of room for the subs excursion just fine. Liking it man!!

I like how you did the legs.
I'm going to need one on my box about 7'' tall.

Why so high? That much excursion?

Just to level it with the transmission hump.
