Basic Structure Complete, looking amazing. **After 6hours work today**
Perfect Angles for sub fitting etc...
Still to do-
Work out Box sizes needed for sub and fit "splitters" inside accordingly
Sand it all Done smooth.
Fit 3mm Foam, Cover it in leather (well fake leather).
I'll leave you with this to wet your appetite-

looking good mate... hope you have thought about adding the foam and leather before doing your measurements or you might have to sand quite alot down to make it fit, as the leather and foam add to the total size.
also as prev qouted ... a few cubic feet will make a massive diff.

yes everything taken into account.
I think it gives roughly 4cubic feet, and only 1.8cubic feet are needed for my subs.
So i'll be adding in the splitters.

fill it with padding inside the box then it will be fine, like the stuff in teddy bears or quilts etc

the box is already to big, if he uses wadding it will just make the enclosure larger so wont help at all in this situation

the actual install, would it be for security reasons mate, if so i would just incase just watch you dont drill into anything you shouldnt, then use rubber washers on the bolts for a water tight seal and also silicone round them from underneath
