I have a new JL box sitting in my garage waiting to go in. The carpet on that box looks way different then mine. Unless that one has been recovered I don't think it's a JL. Maybe a older carpeted MTX box. I test fitted my JL box, it fits great.

Well Idk about this one, it has to be one made for a camaro or firebird though it has the groves for it, its just too large/poorly made. :\
Either 1) try to sell it and wait even longer to upgrade the system or 2) try to cut that bottom part of the plastic off, didnt really want to cut the car up to fit a damn box but ill do it if i have to -.-

I know for a fact it is NOT an MTX Thunderform as they do NOT recess the sub into the enclosure...plus, they fit perfect...I've owned one. I have also own a Vantage stealth enclosure which I still have in my garage, and 2 subthumps which I have now in my car that took a bit of coaxing to get to fit just right. In fact mine looked kinda like yours at first on the passenger side (as far as fitment). It took about an hour of messing with it to get it just right. None of the above needed removal of the carpet for fitment issues.
Take some pics of it removed from the vehicle so we can see the back of it and a couple of other angles outside of the car!! Also take a pic of the empty hole where the enclosure goes.

The only difference is the fit and carpet which to me just looks old...yours is brand new...give it time...I've seen them before when they look kinda fuzzy. They are older.

I have had two JL boxes, one in my other car. The carpet never got that bad LOL....
Further more, they both fit perfect. That one is way off. I wonder if someone just tried to make a copy of a JL box?

just sell it (just let them know it didn't fit yours) -- if you can't get it to fit by now...it obviously isn't going to -- it isn't something that is magically going to work someday
have you contacted the seller??? what did they say?
I think it's safe to say that it IS a JL box of some sort after seeing all of your pics...
hmm.......are you sure your car is an f-body??
ha....don't know what else to tell ya
compared to the JL site...it does look like yours is deeper.....tho hard to tell with pics

Yea Im going to take the sub out since it was actually a good deal had it fit and sell the box. The seller posted in the thread heh thanks for all the help though!
Now im off to look for a better box, perhaps from an official seller lol
