Subs in double cab

No pics yet, but I did what I had posted about earlier. Bought the SoundOffAudio box ($137 shipped, w/black carpet upgrade), cut and pulled back the carpet at the rack/box joint, cut off the passenger side box, re-glued the carpet over the rack end, and installed my new Arc Audio 10" (replacing the 8" L7 in a small truck box). Only other thing I had to do was add a couple boards to the amp rack to push the bottom mounting surface even with the "hump".

As far as quality, looks adequate to me. From pics I've seen, Mr.Marv's boxes are thicker, MDF 3/4 vs 1/2, and put together a bit better, screwed together vs nail/glue, but for my needs works well at the price point I was looking for plus a few hours of work to cut, refinish, and prop out the amp rack.

One question for y'awl though, with my 8" L7 the sub sounded better with the rear seat plastic in place vs. removed. With the 10" Arc Audio sub, the sub sounds better with the plastic removed. I was getting some annoying reverb with the Arc and the plastic in place. Removed the plastic, and the reverb is gone. Anyone else have any experience with this, or just thoughts on why? Not sure why the L7 wasn't reverbing like the Arc was. Bass output is not all that different, although I like the 10" Arc SQ better than the L7.

 

My Setup With the box...Everything Sounds Good. Had to remove the plastic on the seats though due to them rubbing on sub ring along with alowing some room for excursion when seats are down.
