at first sight i thought the tuning was pretty low for a kicker L7, but i did a litte research and found out the Fs of the sub is pretty low at 26 hz. i haven't owned the 15" L7 before so i can't say from experience what tuning they like, but i usually tune boxes for kicker subwoofers a little higher (33-35). all that is debatable though.

here's what i would do - i would definitely put a 45 on the bottom in front of the port opening. then i would either do a double baffle/flush mount or add a couple of 1.5 inch diameter dowels in the middle of the box vertically, if that makes sense.

or both. a little extra bracing never hurts.

you don't want this happening

1st things first... holy flex bat man lmao

2nd. yea in the sketchup I sent the op it has 5 dowels going from port to the top baffle. The baffle is also 1.5 thick on the sketchup.

5 dowels is a little overkill, i'd trade 3 of those for a 45 on the bottom, other than that i think the design works

edit: this is what i mean by a 45 in the bottom.

is that a marble box?

is that a marble box?

i think it's either fiberglass or MDF painted to look like marble... or maybe that's supposed to be camo. hard to tell though.
