LAST SUB BOX for an Alpine SWR-T12
well I picked up one of FX44AU's swr-t12s and started on the box yesterday. i figured i'd post a few pic as I go, along with posting the dimensions and such to help save others some time trying to figure out box dimensions. I swear this is the last box im building for this truck, 4th times the charm! I believe I've gotten alot better at it since the first build. anyway, the box is for 1 swr-t12 as i stated and will have a mouting dept of 4" max at the shallow part and just under .75 cu ft after sub displacement. the box is made of all 1/2" mdf other than the 3/4" mdf sides with a floor clearance of 1.5" and an overall length of 28".
dimensions are what i have figured at this point in the build
and here's some pics of the progress
im almost out of wood glue and have heard of others sealing theirs with liquid nail. is that a good substatution? i have liquid nail by the cases so if its not a problem, i'll just finish up with it. but if it's not as strong or something, i'll go pick up some more glue.
criticism, tips, and comments welcome

here it is finished up, along with my amp mounted. after i put the box under the seat, the weight of the box made the carpet sink down a little and the sub was too close to the floor for comfort, so i added a 1/2" piece to the front of the legs. gives me the clearance i needed and still doesnt pick the seat up.

Nice job on the box, you built it strong with screws and glue.
I did the same when I built mine. BTW, can you fold your back seat up (and latch it) with the amp mounted there? I used 1/2" plywood on my amp board and mounted it near where you mounted yours. I didn't cut my carpet so I am not able to put my seat (40) all the way up. It's alright though. I can't use that floor space with the sub there any how.
