That looks really nice man. Although the left of the sub looks pretty thin. How thick of board did you use and is it completely enclosed?

yeah looks kinda thin, haha its just the angle the pic was taken from, its equal distance on both sides... i had some 5/8 board kicking around so i used that, could'nt justify spending the extra cash on 3/4... yes it's a fully enclosed sealed box, the lower right section was just constructed to make the box fit to the shape of the truck... the actual enclosure is only down to the bump in the floor..

yeah i did the same thing, except i made it facing forward and the back of the box was over that hump. How hard was it to cover it? I havent yet, justified it with the fact that it doesnt look very clean and people wont steal it lol.

well, it wasnt easy... it took a lot of time and patience... fisrt off i removed the rear jump seat and took a lot of measurements... i made a bunch of drawings and figured out what would work best for my applicationm then started cutting, screwing and gluing... Test fitted a bunch of pieces, and finally prayed that when it was done it would fit as "planned".. and luckily enough it did, really well surprisingly...
