Hello mate, welcome to passionford.
I'm very interested in seeing both the construction and completion of your sub box, I've never seen one positioned like that before and am now considering doing a similar thing. Plenty of pics please

erm......didn't get any pics lol. sorry
wanted the sub to be out of the way.....but had to be in a box or it would sound tinny and crap, so measured the hole of the wheel well, cut 2 disks of mdf to that size, and 1 bigger so it over lapped the edge VERY slightly, put 6 uprights to strenghten it, and then wrapped it in ply, VERY tight, and all parts screwed together and used EXPANDING GLUE, great stuff but DONT get it on your hands lol, i did and it took nearly a week to come off.....after i made it, i drilled 4 holes in the bottom and bolted it to the bottom of the well, when the sub gets fitted i will take it out and put some rockwool in there between the box and wheel well sides.
how that is of some use,
cost the pricce of a bag of screws.....tube of glue, couple of sheets of mdf, and 1 sheet of ply
