KidSquid, you're definately luck to have that stock enclosure. After looking at how well it uses all the little gaps, I wish I had one to use.

Today I spent about 5hrs total today working on the open space where the enclosure is going to go, cutting metal edges to give me more room, trimming stock plastic pieces, rewiring the amp to the other side, and making a cardboard version of the Zero's box for the hell of it - jesus there is a lot of room being wasted w/ that box!!! I spent about 2-3 of those hrs starting from scratch, making my own templates and fine tuning all the cardboard, making sure the box could be removed. The sub is supposed to arrive tomorrow, then I've still got to take my cardboard templets and convert them to the wood. I was half tempted to do 1/2" MDF all around as to not waste internal volume, but then I decided to use 3/4" on just the sides, then wrapping the side pieces w/ 1/2" on all the fronts, tops, bottoms, etc. so I've at least got a thicker materials to screw into.
