i want a box like that made! Ima show local audio shops and see if they can make me one, W7 might be excessive for my taste maybe a Rockford Fosgate T2, and is yours ported from the top or completely sealed?

Ported straight to my ski hole. Its amazing how it sounds with the back seat arm rest up and then to hear it closed. I have a mesh screen put over the hole for looks.

Im currently rebuilding, ill take tons of pics and make a thread for all of you to marvel at. 370amp high output alt, 3 runs of 0awg, 4 shurikan bt100 batteries, my build will make steve meads build look like a child built it.. but to the OP.. that box looks legit for a single sub, port will blow up right threw where the stock 8" is, clean i like it. line outs are ok if your not looking for perfect bass response... that being said i use audio control lci8 as my converter. honestly ive heard an is350 with an audison bit1 and theres no difference in left to right or front to back response,the audio control is about an 1/8 of the cost as well. Any thoughts on what kind of woofer? i know your not trying to be to ridiculous just some sq bump. BUT if your not set on hugging jl's nuts like everyone els on this forum, you should check out some non-mainstream companies, sundown, skar, obsidian, cadence, DC, ect..

People think i have 2 12's

WOW..

Probably way more bass than I need. But wow, very clean.
Not quite as good as the two 12" subways in the trunk. But very nice nonetheless.

theres 4 wires (pink/brown are positive, green/blue are negative) going to the stock sub on the rear deck, splice into them and use that to wire your LOC. thats the easy way.

what do you mean by line outs are ok if im not lookig for perfect bass response? I been looking at a Alpine Type X around 1000 rms, got real good reviews and priced very well. That box is not only affordable, it looks super clean and that port no one will even know it exists but the best part is i will still have a trunk at the end of the day for other random crap.

It hits pretty hard for a 12" Type R sub. Hits harder than my friends old setup with two 12" Type Es
