Thanks.
Heres some more pics. Just finished caulking and painting the inside of the port so im gonna go to bed and let it all try while I sleep. Then when I wake up all I gotta do is spray one more coat of white and put the top on and its ready to go!
Taking it to the guy that installed my system tomorrow and having him carpet it, and then my ex gf is gonna stencil DC Audio, just like she stenciled Kicker on my amp rack, on both sides of the port. Then hopefully sometime soon im gonna get my amps professionally tuned, route my iPod to my glovebox and finally put in my cd delete pocket. Then that'll be it for audio!

It's completed! Got it in my Tahoe all wired up and it sounds soooooooo ******** good and clean. I love it. Here's some pics of it all finished, they kinda suck though. Most likely getting this beast carpeted tomorrow.
Also for those wondering the box is tuned to 46hz. I'll take some pics tomorrow of it in the back.

Well for those that care, I went to a local shop today called Xtreme Custom Car Audio. Was talking to the dude about how I wanted to get it carpeted, tune my amps, route my iPod to my glovebox and fix my alternator feedback. Then we talk about how I should be breaking in my new subs. Well he hops in my truck and he blares it (is this a good idea with an amp thats pushing more rms than these subs combined?) and my ******* box starts falling apart lol. The top piece of wood, which I forget to glue down but didn't think it would matter a whole lot, started flapping and smacking like crazy.
So, looks like this whole next week im gonna be trying all I can to make this thing more stable. Since I get 2 hours a day of free time if im lucky during the week, im gonna trying my best to put as many screws in as I can, and gluing down the top this time lol. If worse comes to worse, ill have to screw in a piece of MDF in the middle of my box in the port hole for some extra support. Then it's back to to the shop to get all that stuff done.
But hey, found out these subs slam, and I mean SLAM. I put on some waka flocka and my rear barn door windows were flexing like crazy for only 400 rms a sub basically.

Nice! haha no worries though, it happens. put another box worth of screws in it and it should hold!

Yep
If you get some glue on there it should solve the flex no problem. The way your box is designed its pretty sturdy for what you got and should not need re-enforcing.

ouch! that sucks, but its probably better it happened before you shelled out the money to have it carpeted and had it sittin pretty in the back of the truck, then have it shake apart in a week or something. good luck building it up, should turn out pretty nice when its all set.
