You make sure HD does it right by measuring yourself right after they make the cut. If it is off you don't have to take it. You can make them do it over.

i did it once.

built a box 36 x 18 but couldnt fit it in the trunk

luckily i was test fiting it before it was all built...was able to trim it down..

then threw it away and built a wall.

everything fits better when you build it inside the car using every inch possible lol

built the sides and top of an 18 cu ft wall outside the car, then couldnt find any way possible to get it in there to mount to the bottom and back.

but 25% is either from bad cuts or bad measurements.

all 4 boxes I have built, I've had to modify the plans while building, because ive messed up something

You really mess up that often? Sounds like a lot of wasted money in MDF. I think the only box I've messed up is when I was trying to stack a couple on top of each other to do a "wall" with 4 18's...just barely wouldn't fit. Other than that, ~30 boxes with maybe a few cuts that I messed up because I was 3/4" off on my cut list.

I got it to fit. Camera is dead will take pictures after. The box is NOT coming out now that is in. I have my speaker wire temporarily running through my port ( looks ghetto I know ) to test it. Im not going to run it hard since it still is probably drying from early this morning. It took me 14 hours to make a false floor amp rack and build the box and get it in. I also dont run a spare tire or jack.

Gain set lower than half and deck at -10db on sub, and the front stage is totally unbalanced. Looks like im going to need to get on installing an amp for my speakers.

P.S I didnt just glue to hold it, I cut pieces of wood THEN glued them with my leftover MDF
