go by bottom, if you are conventionaly mounting the sub where you set the subwoofer into the opening and screw it down to the top of the front baffle.

ya i think il just wait on it and build it around the sub the way i want to. hey one more ? fiberglass or mdf for two type x's. im thinking 1/2 mdf

3/4 Mdf

if you are using MDF you want to use at least 5/8

okay. i think il go with 5/8 cause of space reasons. now with a sealed box im making it the length of the back wall of my cab which is around 40'' so do i have to set a barrier inbetween the subs or can it just be a huge open on the inside box

you could do a common ichamber box like your talking about, would save you very little airspace
