Thinking of doing the same.
Thanks.

we like it alot, we ran into some problems wiring everything up but the box it self works good with the exception I cant put the cover back over it.
I used 3/4 mdf for the front and i either could have routered a ring into it to sink the sub back about 1/4 inch or use 1/2 inch mdf. that would have gave me the clearance i need.
the bass is good, doesnt sound muffled and punches hard if turned up. It will never sound like a large box or ported sub set up but its 100 times better than stock and you can feel the bass now.
we had some wiring issues also, i tried to follow the BSW instructions but for some reason I have a dsp system with out the navagation so some things were a bit different. then I had a battery draw on the car after the install i traced back to a jl audio line driver I was "advised" to use but a local stereo shop and that did not work but left the power wires hooked up and it caused a draw for some strange reason but all is fixed now.
its nice to have a stereo where the bass is turned down below the half way mark (middle setting) and you still get lots of bass.
over all a good set up and dont see any issues with the plastic/wood hybrid box as of yet.
oh forgot to mention... the relay and fuse panel above the sub rattles like all get out and i am not sure how to quiet that down and dont see a place to really move it to with out much hassle.
