[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7536013, member: 614752"] Thanks. Actually it was a complete failure. The amps and batteries under the box is nice. I created a proper false floor on top of them and cut the legs off that box for some last testing before I dumped it. That was some CF/Kevlar hibrid cloth. Looks nice but is an absolute nightmare to work with.... It absolutely doesn't cut until you put the epoxy on it so you're forced to work with the full 50" wide roll which is so easy to get snags and pulls in. Got it on this forum. It was supposed to be #8...more like #10, but it looks different and works. It's called "cabinet grade" plywood. 25$ a sheet at Home Depot. It is much lighter than MDF, way easier to work with IMHO, and my rear hatch has a good bit of leaking and MDF tends to swell up and melt with only a few drops of water. Ply is much more resistant. That piece with the big void was some really cheap plywood I used to build a test box before (just had it laying around and needed an odd piece). Actually the box that I built with that crap plywood did 149.9 with a single 15" on 3K. If I kept a box more than a month I'd put some time into filling voids, sanding, and painting, but I go through boxes fast so I don't put too much money into materials and I don't generally waste a bunch of effort on cosmetics. A small update. Rotated 90 degrees firing towards the driver's side this box does 149.7 @ 38hz. Really optimum for this jeep is porting to the driver's side, but I just don't have the volume to spare to allow proper clearence for a port. I'm considering some more exotic box options for next season. [/QUOTE]
