I was sort of upset, because I forgot to measure BEFORE I bought these.

Time for the PolyFill, I actually asked a lady who was also buying PolyFill, probably not for the same purpose, what the difference between low loft, and high loft was... When she asked me what I was using it for, I told her I was lining the inside of a 2 cubic foot subwoofer box, she paused, looked confused, then asked me what I need, I tolder her thin, and not very dense, she told me to go with the low loft...

This is pretty good stuff, not 3M good, but still very good.

Time to Solder those connections! Yes I know the wire I got is not the greatest, but it was cheap, and very easy to get...

Time to install, I took the carpet off so that the rope caulk would seal tot he wood, not the carpet.

The Rope Caulk I used, apparently Home Depot no long carry's it....

Nice and clean looking, no excess went over the sides, once tightened down. which I guess I forgot to take pictures of. but you get the idea....

I was a bit fearful to solder on the terminals, but it turned out great.

Rope caulk under, the rubber seal I feel should be good against the wood, but I didn't trust it against the basket, it fit pretty loosely.

Install time! bought 16 new screws to mount them in, they bit real good, and it is tight to the box. :D
