Ah.. you were a busy man last week.
I just bought a pair of these, and I wanted to post my experience. I have more work to do with the amps and carpc, so I will post some pictures in the next few days when I have time to redo some things.
Obviously I was wondering how well they would really fit. I wasn't sure how tight I could reasonably expect them to fit in MY car. On this first subject, the fit was pretty damn tight. They aren't too tight, but you can still feel them snap into place when you install them.
I'm used to having a terminal block on my enclosures. There is a hole in the bottom of each of the enclosures that is just large enough to get 16aug speaker wire fished through. There is nothing wrong with doing it this way. At the very least you're eliminating a connector from the pathway between your amp and speakers. Never a bad thing.
I had an upward facing bandpass box before these that I really liked. It sounded great, and I had gone through a couple boxes prior that I didn't like. I just want to have some storage space back in my trunk... and have something a little different. I have 2 Fosgate P210S4 Subs. They say sealed box volume: 0.65 cubic feet.
The enclosures are the right volume... of course the speakers are going to sound great.
I haven't bolted them to the chassis yet with the provided screws. They probably don't even need it. I'll bolt them down when I finish organizing the rest of the system. They are plenty heavy and sturdy. I would say a little lighter than a full MDF box, but very rigid. Once the speakers are in, they aren't going to slide around.
Last but not least, the price is fair. Shop around... see if you can find anything better.
As for the aesthetics, I won't waste my (or your) time with words. Pictures pending.
Thanks
Bump.

Dude were u the guy in a silver supercharged tC with TRD wheels at Scion de Gras that was posted next to me? If so, your enclosures looked sick! How much for both sides shipped to 78237?

Do you ever venture out to the DFW area? I know its 4+ hours away, but you and I are pretty close.
I'd really like to get my hands on one of these, I remember seeing your post in another scion forum a while back, but the shipping would really hurt.
