[QUOTE="xluben, post: 2079020, member: 568852"] it definitely has it's flaws: front and back are nearly 1/8" shorter than the sides and port pieces (gaps, but now filled with silicone) port is slightly wider at both openings (just over 2.5" at both ends but somehow just under 2.5" at the 90 degree bend) driver cutout is not very good and a little big original terminals leaked air (a LOT, but now i have silicone sealed nuts and bolts) overall kind of ugly [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] but now that it's sealed up it should work fine (but doesn't looks so pretty). i think once i get the new baffle on it should be fine (and be flush mounted!). like this: [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=167055"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167055[/URL] i'm really tempted to just buy another piece of MDF and do the same box again (but do it right). i think now that i've done it once before, i think it'd be much easier and turn out much better, but there isn't [I]really[/I] anything functionally wrong with it, so i feels it's kind of a waste. i think i'll just get it installed tomorrow and see how it sounds, hopefully i like it!
