heck yeah, love the space up here, i got like an acre! : ) much better than the apartment.

just cut out the port, port size > subwoofer size = the win, it looks awesome.

i found some blue house paint and some neon green, who can guess what i'm doing with that stuff?

heck yeah.

my shit is going to look like a jamacan bob-sleding teams.. bobsled.

and what does the win look like so far?

and yes, it'll be inverted, due to being down-sized from the original plan, i must invert the woofer, i think it looks good, and makes terminal cups non-existant for me : )

edit: yes my screw holes are off center, not perfectly spaced, and not even predrilled in some locations, dont nit-pick my stuff, i have other builds were the boxes look flawless, but really, preformance isn't effected by these things.

Looks like a few too many screws in that one part but I am no expert.

Are you going to double baffle where the sub is mounted? If so, do you glue it or just screw 2 pieces of mdf together?

glue and screw, it's going to be double baffle, and double boxed, all the way around.
