I got up nice and early to go to Home Depot (you can thank them for the pretty badly measured cuts I asked them to do...) and grab some 3/4" MDF, Gorilla Glue, Caulking, Screws, and moulding for the corners (didnt want to cut 45's)... so anywho, on to the show.

Took this bad boy out, had a fairly large air leakage issue around the sub since I did a hackjob cutting the circle out.

A bit of sawdust in the air, always a good sign...

Getting started on the box, the box under it being used as my table is called the "Presidential Box" since it plays that song so well, its pretty mean, houses two Mojo 15's most of the time...

Got the top and bottom on, just doing a test fit...

From the inside...

Gotta love the 2500d (will have two when its said and done, I have it in my garage waiting to go in)

And finally the bread and butter pic, its a test fit so I can trace out the layout and have a better idea of where things are going to go, and no the subs and ports will not be inverted, not a good idea when the hatch is that close!

And since this is only a test I threw some trusty duct tape back around the sub surround and put it back in until I'm completely done. To my astonishment it sounds so much better and its quite a bit louder now that the leaks are fixed. Nearly no air passes by now, I may throw a second layer on top to see if that makes it better.

p.s. those are not the actual port lengths, just aeros i had kicking around.

I am going to put a 2nd top plate on for extra rigidity as well...

its not the largest box unfortunately, so to compensate I minimized port area so I didnt need the bigger box and/or longer ports... I'm working in a tight space and if this doesnt work I may try a three 12 box instead.

 
the box is actually a hare over 6 cubes.

I know of some very nice db #'s being put up with boxes of this similar size and setup.

The rear two subs have plenty of room, I made sure of that

 
its my first box that I have actually tried to give a fvkc about so I want to see it turn out as good as possible... probably not as good as some of you can do but I'll try my best and if I am happy with it then thats all that really matters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
put 2 of the MX's in the back, and 2 in the kicks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
