Need Help, Ported Box Build For Sa12 In a 2010 Cobalt

Ah yes, didn't know the pursuit was the canadian version of the pontiac g5, which is the pontiac version of the cobalt. Got the box all put together now, pretty proud of it. I have one side caulked so far, gonna be a bitch to caulk the top side as the port is too narrow for me to fit my hands into to caulk the joints, so I will have to use the piece of wood I cut and rounded the corners on so I could reach into the port and caulk it.

More progress made today finally, got hole cut and rest of the box caulked the best I could, wish I made the port wider cause I can't fit my hand in it... Sub fits though, now to wait for the caulk to dry and de-fume. Anyone know how long I should wait before I put the sub in the box? Starting to get impatient and wanna hear this monster 30lb sub in action!

All in now, think I need a new amp cause I really don't believe it is pushing it's rated 600 watts to that sub honestly, stupid walmart pioneer amp... lol. It keeps clipping out and distorting when I really get this thing dancing, but man is it ever taking the abuse. I have it set at a much more appropriate setting for the break in period right now, but this sub in this box in my car loves lower hz than my old subs, and hits them with authority. I will have to see what range it is peaking at, but it like the basstronics cd and the bass I love you song and the bass will destroy you. I got a lot more work to go by far, but now I know what a real sub sounds like and for now I will do what I can to get the most out of it, but am officially hooked on the quality of sundown and will have to get a bigger badder sub next.

Uploading a vid from my phone now, it was dark but you get the hint. I am very impressed that a $200 sub is built with this quality and does what it does.
