Cool i appreciate the help do you happen to have a picture of the back of the sub enclosure and what size of sheet metal did you use it pretty sturdy

I believe it was 16g sheet metal so it's pretty strong, didn't want all my stuff falling out

Did you weld or just rivet together with the angle iron and how did you make the lid

The lid is just plywood with some cabinet hinges inside, welded all the corners then sealant on all the seams. The hole I cut is a tight fit so it just sits in there then used seam sealer underneath, have had no problems and it is super convenient. Used a few 1in pieces of angle iron on inside for a rest for the lid then screwed a piece of an old seat belt for a handle so it will lay flat when I have stuff inside
