It has poly fill in it which I am not 100% sure how I feel about it as I have never used it before but I left it in and pushed it down to one end to make room for the sub.

Poly fill slows down the sound waves a little to make the sub sound as if it's in a slightly bigger enclosure. If the box volume is on the small end for that sub, the poly fill will help. It's gotta be loosely stuffed in there, not densely packed. You can let the speaker magnet squash it down, but it's nothing worth removing the speaker for. Having it fire down at the floor will smooth out the response a bit.

In all honesty this is the first speaker box I have ever bought instead of building it myself.

I bought it for a few reasons.

A. I am getting lazy in my old age.

B. I am out of work do to being hit by a semi while on my motorcycle coming home from work and I am not physically able to do a lot of the things I am used to doing myself.

C. The box was originally $100 + $46 shipping... there was a 15% coupon on EBay and after doing the math for materials it just wasn't worth my time.

Actually It came out even cheaper because the guy doesn't market this box for Suburbans, only Tahoes, so after talking with him he modified the box for me. It came in and the drop down ends didn't fit properly in the Suburban so I had to notch it. I sent him pics with specs to make it fit right and he is sending me $50 back for doing the R&D for him.

Win win in my book.

Here is a pic of where I notched the ends.



So that is the difference between the Tahoe and Suburban floors between the seats.... about 2" wider on the Tahoe.

And here is the finished product installed.

Here is the front of the box where it fits down into the notch in the floor with the Weathertechs.
