DaveTheSlyrt-- yea i will take down dimensions once it is all fine tuned.. been busy lately and haven't had time to work but hope to finish things up this week.. as you can imagine there has been a lot of time spent sitting in back of truck thinking and looking and bad cuts and trashed test pieces of card board.. but i have kept thinking.. clean sleek hidden no cargo loss and 3rd row use... i have portly spent as much time if not more thinking and developing the design than actual build time and labor.. it has drug on and im motivated to finish hopefully i do just that this week.

Yes I could have spent $300 o. That mtx box but I have to tools and wanted a project. Also I have $20 invested in a sheet of mdf, screws, and a tube of liquid nails. I spent the remaining saved money on more audio equipment

no, i hear ya. it's definitely rewarding when you can take some spare parts laying and turn them into something useful.

i went the other route and found a factory box to use. just need to get back on track and wire up my amp and get my sub.

Looked at that last night, clean install and doesn't take away from the value of the truck. Will definitely go with this.

i cant justify that amount of money for a mass produced plastic box.. but if it suites your budget it looks like a great box that is for sure...
