the box is 39x17.5x16.5 and the opening is about 12 inches tall for my fold down seats. I'm gonna try to cut the box almost in half and put it back together once i get it inside. i know this is a horrible idea, HOWEVER i have access to extremely expensive carbon fiber wrap and resin.[used on pipelines, cures and holds about 200,000 PSI lol]. once i get it in i will carbon fiber the cut and make it a super hard seal and hopefully all will be good. if it doesn't work, then i will have wasted about $2000 worth of carbon and special resin; and i wont be able to get the box out then LOL.

just use wood glue, screws and caulk.
