Just recently finished the boxes and installing them into the trunk. Also installed the crossover onto the backseat. This will have to do until I can make a new trunk floor. I know the subs aren't perfectly straight, but thats the price I paid for pre-drilling holes and inserting Tee-nuts prior to attaching the last piece to the box . Hope you like it. As soon as I get the 9853 installed I will post pics of that.

nice job, do you know how loud that is going to be? and how good it will sound. My brother has those subs in a prefab box and its pretty good stuff. what are those boxes made out of or did you spray them with something?

I previously had them in a prefab sealed box that was very close to the specified air space, and they sounded awesome. However, I got the specs for those boxes directly from Diamond and they are a very considerable amount louder. I had to get that crossover because my EQ and amp did not have a subsonic filter. Those boxes are a snail shell design and the port is tuned to 33hz, so I needed a 30hz subsonic filter. One of the cool things is that the crossover also cleaned up the subs altogether producing a better sound. The boxes are made from 3/4 MDF, once completed I sprayed 2 coats of primer, and 2 coats of textured spray paint. I think it was called Stone Creations or something like that. Overall I am pleased, it took a long time to build the boxes but it was worth it.

I'm going to try and find an SPL meter around here in an audio shop. I have no clue what it is hitting at, but it makes my 8500 fall from its snap in place on the windshield. It suits me good, sorry to those who thinks its ugly, it was the simplest way to finish it other than carpet or rhinoliner.
Cheers
