Well, here it is, finished and installed.... fit like a glove... could have been maybe 1/2" taller, but thats it. Does take up a tonnnn of my trunk, so that might affect performance a little bit... back seat doesnt have any holes in it, all sheet metal, sound deadened...back dash is all sheet metal except for the speaker holes...so the only vent to the car is the back seat arm rest...kinda sucks

NONE-THE-LESS, It pounds pretty **** good, maybe louder than the 2 15" R's.. INTERESTING FACT... I have the amp running at 2 ohms (1.4 when I tested it...kinda weird) and the amp is set at 3/4 gain, maybe even 4/5. I turned the radio down to 0 on bass and played the 50hz tone until it didnt get any louder right at the max I play my radio. My cousin has the digital cam I use, and he's at school, so when he comes back (prolly this weekend) ill get a vid up

thats what I have...but think about it... the screw head is like 1/8" from the edge of the wood, maybe a tad more
