thanks man,a guy on another forum that i belong to, who also does this stuff for a living has built a couple similar enclosures for other members, and they all seem to love the sound and energy they produce. i wanted to fire the port to the rear, but im kind of limited on space with a regualar cab chevy. i'll also be making another piece for the front of the box to help blend it into the dash. my amps will also be mounted to the back wall, with a trim panel.
