Looks good man!! defiantly notch the top of next box so it can go back further in the trunk
I would think about down firing the subs it will help with everything rattling if you are shooting them down to the strongest part of the car and it will add some DB too (less metal flex) once you eliminate some of the flexing of the deck lid witch is creating some canceling waves costing you DB
disclamer : this is my opinion only and only my opinion baised on my 10+ years of experience in the car audio world and 5 years of comp in semi pro class all over the US

Yep, that's it. It's not hard at all, just time consuming.

That song gets it doesn't it? My favorite bass song on this setup so far!

Box can't go back any further, sub amp is right behind it. My next box will be 2" shallower though. I'm not too sure about down-firing subs in a trunk car, but I'll look in to it more.....thanks for the suggestion.

You bet man !! Here is my first box it was down firing and was great minis smoking the 2 12 i had in it lol
i will get more picks and see if i can dig up the specks i used on it 5 cubic feet
the box i have for my 2 15" kicker l7 is a sealed back fire and even with the hole truck with 2 layers of dynomat and 2 layers on the deck lid it still moves like crazy i will have to put some viedo and new picks up for sure so u can see what i am talking about

Me ? 12" Dual 4 ohm MTX Thunder Square 8500 Superwoofer Melted the voice coils now have 2 kicker 15" l 7
my hole system was Mtx until 3 weeks ago.. I got it all free!! I was sponsored by them back in 1995 to 2000 ( still had a friend on face book that totally hooked me up )
My fronts MTX Audio TXC6.16-1/2" 2-way Thunder Axe High End Component System in the doors
and 1 extra set MTX Audio TXC.11" (25mm) Thunder Axe High End Teteron Dome Tweeters up by the windshield

I deleted the 6 x 9 's out of the rear deck and factory amp so we could use the locations as ports for the subs and still look stock in the back window
