That box and sub combo is going to hit harder than you guys think. Good job man, that is some good work.

Did you take into consideration the amount of airspace each one of those subs needs to operate properly?
Why yes.. I did take airspace into consideration... That is why the TWO woofers are mounted in each well, and TWO radiators are mounted in the center. Yes, the radiators are not exactly centered due to clearance issues, but I prefer it sound great first, I'll make it look good when it's done. JL pre made stuff is just average, better to use their subs in custom boxes. They make a good product, but the pre-fab stuff is for the average consumer, not for anyone serious about sound quality. I've got 20 years experience on this stuff.. not my first rodeo....

How did the box turn out? Did you get the sound you wanted?

I wish I could tell ya I have been so busy with work and stuff that I just got back on it this weekend. The box is covered and ready to be install, I just got through running the power cable and installing sound deadener under the rear seat area. I'll mount the amps today, install the box, and with any luck have it playing tomorrow. I still have to get the interface for the steering wheel controls and the CAN bus interface if I want the retained accessory power at the radio. More to come.. I'll update the pictures today with the progress so far. ...
