No, nothing was cut. The amps were TIGHT..there's probably a 1/2 inch if that. If you don't remove the endcaps and put them together like this, they both will never fit! The other option was to go with a 500/5 which would have worked perfect too, but I had the 500/1 and it leaves me room to play with should I upgrade the sub.

All the work was done at Wicked CAS in Kingston NH www.wickedcas.com
The way I figure it, once I sell all the stock NAV stuff I'll be at about break even cause I had the amps already.
