This is a little freehand sketch I came up with of how I wanted the box to look, the dimensions being most important. The sub I chose was a Rockford Punch 3 10" unit, which would drop into a sealed enclosure of 0.65cu ft volume.
So once all the ice arrived it was time to start making and upholstering the box, wasnt as hard as i originally planned, heres the base.

and finally, with the roof down.

The sound is excellent overall, the sub seamlessly integrates with the rest of the system, adding a musical presence aswell as obviously beefing up the bottom end and allowing the system to go louder overall. There's plenty of volume with the top down or up, and without distortion. Power is sent from the battery via 4-gauge power cable to a QX Connect distribution block, where it's distributed via 2 8 gauge cables again, one to each amp.
all comments would be greatly appreciated.

took about 4 hours in total to make and upholster the box, around 3 hours to install the sub/amps, the longest job was installing the components, around 5hours!
