[QUOTE="Terrum, post: 8819111, member: 657229"] Here's an update a month later: [MEDIA=imgur]a/hOrBx7Q[/MEDIA] Got a sheet of MDF locally, put the cut list into CutList Optimizer and the shop was more than happy to cut it. I had almost no confidence I could do this, but despite installing the port slightly incorrectly (above the other port instead of to the side of it) I think it turned out great. The left hole was cut too large but managed to work around it by screwing the driver in at an angle, the other driver is also at an angle just to make it look 'better' I guess. I made my own double-baffle too, all cut with a jigsaw with slightly bigger driver holes and the port. Stuck some gold-plated double-ended push-button terminals on, some handles, and carpeted myself. Sounds fantastic too! Much louder than I anticipated. So much so that I need to work on dampening my trunk as that rattles more than I am comfortable with :ROFLMAO: But I'll probably make a new post on that for advice. Thanks so much again everyone for your help, and I look forward to any feedback! [/QUOTE]
