sounds great! i had to add some polyfill to the box because it is a little undersized for the sub but once i played around with how much it sounds great

great looking! did you cut out the stock panel for more room? also what did you use as a release agent?

didn't cut a thing. I formed it to the factory pocket. I just lined it with aluminum foil and taped it all in place with blue painters tape

well i couldn't come up with a real great way of attatching it but what i did do is at the front were it meets the seat i took a piece of metal and bent it at a 90deg and drilled a hole to mount into the box then the other tab goes behind the plastic panel where it splits right by the seat latch. I'll try to get a pick if i remember.
