Nice job. Keep the pics comin'!

So, are you steering away from TL's? I thought you were impressed and were going to continue to research them....

I like your build depictions, particularly:

  • use of a speed square and simple toolbox C clamps
  • corner bracing, and
  • use of dowel rods for effective, space-saving bracing

You might consider completing the curved lines approach throughout the enclosure by smoothing the edges of the port wall end, and by routing a radius on the back side of the driver mounting hole.  Nice thread;  it'll be fun to watch this through completion.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I still plan on routering/sanding down the inner port edge so it is smooth and round and not a sharp edge.
I haven't had time to go buy some 90* corner clamps so I made due with what the extra speed square that came with my dewalt cirular saw. Does a lot better than my old garage sale skill saw with a dull blade lol.

Well I could fit a 35Hz transmission line in the back but it would be 4-5" away from the rear hatch. I may experiment with an SPL TL later on before the MECA competition in April.
With this I am going to build a false floor with my amps underneath.
Thanks for the comments guys.

Well the box construction is finished...Due to me being lazy and wanting my bass now.
I left out the 45s in the corners and only did the port 45.
Also I left out the vertical braces and only did the front to back horizontal braces. I'll put the vertical braces before I either carpet or truck bed line the enclosure.
It's loud...louder than I expected. I like it. It hurts. I don't listen to it like this everyday though lol...just times when I feel like a good bumpin. The sub sounds very good. Tight crisp bass still. Gets a little sloppy on the super quick double kick drum notes on "Rollin (Urban Assault Vehicle)" by Limp Bizkit. I use this track to test setups for the transient of the double kick.
On all other types of music it sounds good...the sub is bandwith limited due to the inductance I think. It's good for 60-65Hz and down.
I think I may sell the setup this summer and get a TempestX or two. I like crossing the sub over rather high around 100Hz if I can lol...I know I know it isn't sound quality and you can tell the sub in behind you. But I don't mind it. I like it that way.
Well here is the installed pic and a couple videos
