Ironically I found these pics AFTER I started having a friend make an enclosure for me. When I had 1st gotten this SAV, I looked in there and figured there wouldn't be much room for anything at all. I remembered BSW, so I took a look at their website. When I saw their little enclosure (what was VISIBLY exposed), I thought it was only something small like under a square foot total. I thought I was all cool after we measured the left compartment (non-DSP, Navi, etc) and we were able to find like .03 more cubic ft. I had my friend make one box, but he accidentally made it exactly backwards So he starts re-measuring, makes one correctly for the left side, and we're all good. I was going to put the amp into the little pocket on the right side of the cargo area. So today I just happened to start looking on YouTube and watched the actual videos of the BSW installation...then I realized how much more room was in the right side once you removed that panel!! I had no idea that that little panel was hollow underneath it! Now I see how much more airspace I can get by swapping the box to the right side, so you're writeup w/ pics and measurements is a blessing At this point were so deep into the week, i'm probably just going to wait till I get home and fabricate the box myself. I'm still going to have him help me cut and cover the panel hole for the subwoofer to fire through since he's already made the trim ring that will mount on the panel face.

Since the 8" subwoofer Technical Specifications - RE AUDIO is in the mail, i've been using the MTX amp MTX JackHammer Amplifiers in the meantime to test it by powering a homemade box w/ a Sony Xplode 12" that I usually use in my work truck.

I have seen like three different variations of subwoofer boxes now, but my biggest concern is total airspace so I can attempt to make the enclosure ported. Has anyone actually taken measurements of all three boxes and determined which is larger volume wise? I'd love to hear which would the largest. I could probably figure it out, but i'd slowly lose more of my hair trying to figure it out .
