wtf?

why is it all the way behind your seat?

is it too hard to drill a hole to run wires through?

and why is it your sides hang over 3/4 inch?

the sides dont hang over 3/4 inch i used 3/4 inch mdf and did the math, there may be one or two spots were its not compltely flush but not 3/4

doesn't look like it was very thought out. looks like you need more port area, and the baffle should be sandwitched between the top and bottom

also, get some terminals for a buck at parts express

The sound is amazing, Made me realize how important the box is.

And for those who say sealed.. im not gonna put that in a sealed box. Although it is a great SQ sub i love the sound quality and the spl of it in a vented box
