New 15" L7 subwoofer box for 2001 xtreme

hey guys, im new to this site, just bought my xtreme about a month ago, been on here for a while reading on some stuff. this is my first post and thought i should post some pics of my new box im building. the one out of my car was too big to fit behind the seats so makin another one, never thought of taking pics before i got the majority of the box together. so these are the only 2 i got for now. i will take more before i finish the front face.

the first pic is just after i started the ports and decided to take a pic. the second one is ready to mount the front face everything all sealed up a good to go.

im just trying to decide if i want to cover it in carpet or bedliner. im thinking ima try the bed liner idea. let me know your opinions.

wooow long overdue here lol, here is my finished product. wood fillered all the screw holes and cracks and whatnot. i added the 2 6x9 speaker boxes to the top as well. i decided to go the bedliner route. turned out amazing box is nice a solid. and it covered up any little imperfections. and sounds amazing. loudest system ive heard in my life up till now lol.

yes i did do the math. box is just shy of 6 cu. ft. with maximum port size recomended by kicker. i believe it is tuned to right around 25 htz. hits hard as hell and sounds great. i just took the max port size and divided it in half so i could have 2 ports.
