I haven't done mine, but I really plan on getting it done this week. If you're in no rush, I'll give my .02 as well once it's done.
Finished building zerochief's enclosure and there's 4inches of depth.

However, the first 5" from the top portion is slanted down to make way for a bracket. So it takes away about 1-1.5" of depth. It doesn't seem like a regular sub/magnet would fit. I ordered the Kicker CVR 8" instead of the shallow version for supposed better bass. It's coming in this week so it looks like I'm going to have to redo the top portion.

Did you eventually remove that module in the back? What is it for? I'm thinking about bending the bracket backwards to clear up some space.
