The sub will be on the bottom, so my image is actually upside down...but... I will be adding wood to raise the box and provide clearance for excursion on an as needed basis during install.

At that same time, I got my order of CLD tiles from Don so I deadened the door. I went minimal in coverage as I am trying to keep the truck as stock as possible(IE no double dynamat doors sealed to umpteenth degree) This same philosophy can be seen in my door sealing technique.

And this is my sealed door. Please don't laugh, lol. Seriously I covered the CCF(floor padding for laminate floors) with Fat Mat, then velcro'd and taped it to the door. MAde a nice seal and is easily removable for repairs and such. all for like 10 bucks.

Put split loom over all the wiring for a more stock look. Still need to get some smaller loom to finish it but much better looking.
