Ok , just want to double check somethings before I build the box.  I don't have the sub yet, SW8102.4.  1.25 total internal volume (not counting the sub, just empy volume) external dimensions are 15.5" x 15.5" x 12.5" using 3/4" MDF.  I will add a second layer to the front tom mount the sub because I hear they can rip out. 

So whay I need to know is.....

1) how deep this sub is, I can't find any specs, the inside of the box is 11"deep, just want to be sure it will fit.

2) if I am not mistaken the speaker whole is 9 1/4" in diameter, is this correct?

3)Any other useful comments

I basically chose these dimensions because it will be easy to secure it in my trunk.  I will get the sub on Monday but would like to have the box ready for it.

1.  that is plenty dep enough, this sub is probably 4-6" deep

2. that's correct

3.nope

Yup I sure do and I think I know who told him the sub can rip out, some guy name Rob who has played with these subs for the last 5 years and have seen many of them rip out of 3/4" mdf. This is why I suggest a double baffle board, screws coupled with heavy weight of sub, coupled with very large amount of compression, coupled with gravity, coupled with the motion of the vehicle = easy to tip out of box. Double baffle bloard = more contact area for a good size screw to anchor those nasty beasts in place.

Depth = 2.25"

Width = 10.5" approx give or take a c hair.

Cutout Diameter = 9 5/16" approx same as above

Enjoy this sub, treat it with respect and it will not let you down.

Ummm, must have being looking at the numerous hot, repeat hot Canadian chicks that walk right by the store on the way to the tanning place (I'm in the wrong business guys).

Correct mounting depth is 5.25" unless run over by a Kenworth. Thanks for catching that Ketel22.

...and another 'coupled with', if I may, Rob:  coupled with the fact that the face has a very large hole in it and sometimes just a wee little bit of wood left around the edges.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
