Once I saw the box I thought it was an old thread, then I started reading.

How does it sound? My shallow 8" under the seat isn't enough sometimes.

it was a really tight fit for the sub box, but everything clears the box.
It sounds great!

That's way too much work for my simpleton skills.

I just went with a Kenwood KSC-SW1 under the seat. fits well, and it fills out the bottom end nicely without sounding muddy.

Really nice job! It's cool to see the evolution of my original design becoming recreated again! I almost want to have another made to these specs. What's the volume of this box? If I remember correctly, mine is 0.31 ft^3.
