You can do SEVERAL things.

1 - Simple feet to hold the drive up just high enough to allow for Xmax.

2 - Walls on 3 sides to hold the drive up just high enough for Xmax and to direct output in one direction

3 - Walls on 3 sides and an angled baffle to help direct output in one direction. (http://www.decware.com/newsite/invertedwedge.htm)

Single 12 downfiring

Dual 12 downfiring

All you have to do is put legs on the box pretty much. Not hard at all.

ok that seems easy. And its a wrangler. Do you think this would make it be louder since its a soft top

if i downfire i could probably gain like .5 cf but would it be worth it

Done right, it gives a little more oomph than straight sealed. Done wrong, a little less.
