i actually just covered my first floor board... if I had any recommendation, it would be to not leave more than like 2" of extra wrap around material, or it gets tough to work with...and a staple gun DEFINITELY is the way to go

No i didn't mikey , i cut the base sub hole then for top piece has the sub cut out hole so the 10" does sit in the enclosure though.

lol its gotta be sealed air tight. You really should glass that mold to the piece you have over top of it.

I dont understand how its not going to be leaking like crazy, your going to loose tons of performance.

Just because its sitting in there doesnt mean its going to work right. The enclosure has to be sealed up.

With that floor that lays right over the mold in there, just reach in the sub cutout, and mark around the edge with a marker or something. Pull the floor and the mold, line them up, and glass them together.

Alright mikey well since I can't glass it since everything mounted and wired. What I'm going to do is basically seal it off around top piece to base so acts as a seal and still the sub is just sealed into the enclosure.
