My progress so far. *UPDATE* more pics!

So I am making it so stealthy that you wont even know there is a system there.

Yes I know its not much but it gets the job done.

Also is it critical to get the reccomended volume in the box. Right now its a bit over half of the reccomendation.

Also hid my amp in a nice spot. You guys think I will need to mount a cooling fan for it?

So I added on to the box and got some more air space out of it. Has more than what my last box had that I made so it should be good. Still not finished but I am betting there.

Is it going to distort the sound for not having the full reccomended volume?

Still not finished either. I started a 2 today and ended about 7. I am still making it because I need to get a bit more volume out of it. Ill post up more when I am finished totally.

What sub are you using? I think you could have recessed it in a bit less and gained more airspace volume but it depends on the sub as to how it will perform. It is always recommended to have at least the minimum airspace volume for optimal performance.

as far as cooling you could add a fan but honestly IMO it will be fine

as far as only being half the recommened box size plan on it not sounding the bets
