New pics I know it's not the most professional perfect box... But then again I never claim to be professional hahaha but I am still definitely workin out the problem areas still sandin and stuff but would like some opinions... I ended up having a small flaw in my measurement... I used the size of the original seat as the size of the the top of the box wich as far as I know is fine but I assumed the length on the bottom could be longer but I was really wrong and ended up having like 8" of foot room ;p sooo I cut out a little of the box and gave it some character should I be on the safe side and face the subs straight or give the box a little character and angle them a little towards each other?

personally i like them angled but i would also want at least 1 window panel brace directly in the middle just to help with weight and it will cut down on box vibrations.

I thought about a brace but that was exactly why I used a two inch door for the top I'm 160 lbs and I sat right in the middle and bounced and there is absolutely no visible flex at all... As for the comfort ive got 4" thick cushions bein made right now so that will help and I don't plan on this bein used every single day so comfort was kinda my least worry... I may decide to put a brace my only worry is that it will distort the air

New updated pics before any major comments are made the cushions were made by my g maw who isn't a professional... They ain't perfect but they are alot more comfortable than I thought and didnt cost me a thing lol... I went with the straight look cause it was easier to stablize for when I go to pull the fleece over it... So here you go

You have almost no clue what you are doing hey?
You didnt like my box yet you are using the wrong materials to build yours as well as some seriously shoddy workmanship.
Anyway, carry on.

I said I did like your set up it was nice and neat.... And as long as the sound quality and FINISHED product turns out great the steps to get there shouldn't matter... Lol now as for the materials 3/4 of the box is made out of mdf wich is more than likely what your box is made out of... But I appreciate criticism I'll take it in a constructive way
