Thanks to my friend...I finally got my custom box.

Before:

(Two Single 15'' Qlogic Boxes. Had to turn one upside down just to fit it in the car cause they wouldnt fit "normally"..lol)

After:

(Obviously isn't finished but it gets soooo much louder now... It will be getting carpetted next week but other than that it's good. Ports on the side with subs facing upward...trunk rattle went down a lot also.

This is the box pushed all the way back to get me about 14-16'' of free trunk space)

(This is the box brought all the way foward...when it's foward it gets loud as hell, and when I need space I just push it back)

**************

what freq is it tuned to? Looks pretty good... except that I have heard that it is better to have the ports on the same face as the subs... is this true?

Alldaz, you should decide on the position of that box and bolt it firmly to the floor. A box that can slide loses power (impact) because of that fact.

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