I'll start with the boring "thank you's" first. Thanks big time to all of these people:
Pete with Team Toxic Bass and Hexibaseforum.com (user = Hexibase) for the enclosure design help
Scott at Fi for answering all my questions and selling me a great woofer
Scott (xbrightsidex) and joe (paint toad) from s10forum.com for putting up with all of my pictures as I built and chatting with me about stuff
Jimmy (aka Tempe on many many forums) for also putting up with me and my pictures
Danssolow from Hexibaseforum.com/diymobileaudio.com/mys10.net for helping me find my xover
Some random guy named Jeff Smith who I bought the xover from used for $125 shipped

Now to the build:
Some of what I already have:
I'll be using Audax 1" textile dome tweeters for now. I have a feeling all speakers in the front are going to change this coming summer, but this is a big step up from passive 2 way to active 3 way.
Hifonics 1206D
2 7" Dayton reference 4 ohm
2 5" Dayton reference 4 ohm
(I'll probably not be using the 7" and use the 6.5" Dayton classics in the doors already...they have a better low end IMO)
quick sketchup
the glue I'll be using
I already had all the MDF from building boxes for other people, and the glue too, so...the only cost to build this box will be the 6" pvc, the woofer, binding posts, T-nuts, and carpet if I carpet it.

Started building my sub box
For 12" Fi.Q dual 2 ohm woofer
box dimensions are 30" deep, 15" tall, 16" wide with the sub firing toward the passenger side and a 6" round by 15" long port firing towards the rear of the cabin. Here is everything I have cut out so far:
2/25/07
Started assembling my sub box
I bought 2 90 degree corner clamps and went to town clamping/gluing/nailing the box together. The glue has a 30 minute set time in the clamps so it went slowly, but quite well. This is my first box to ever use corner clamps on and its amazing. I ran the bracing vertically on the box, and I will be flush mounting the woofer.
And then the bracing. With the exception of the top and bottom boards, bracing is done.
Done for the night
