Yes he made the enclosures to their exact specs for a sealed box (2.0 cubic feet per sub)

The Capacitor and Circuit breakers are flush mounted to pieces of wood on the sides of the amp rack and are pushed into slots on the sides of the box for easy removal.
There is a panel that is easily removable that covers up the wires and makes the two main amps look flush.
A third amp is mounted on the back of the amp rack and is not visible.
Should I need to get my spare, I just remove the panel, then remove two screws holding the amp rack to the box, remove the panels that make the box look flush (attached via velcro), unscrew the box from the floor, and remove it. A total of 3 screws and I can remove everything pretty easily.
He left a space between the top of the box and the top of the trunk for air to flow into the cabin. That way the sound isn't blocked by the panels.

Finally some pictures:

dude...before i even turn it up to full power my rear view mirror is rendered useless by my windshield flex pushing it upwards. Not that I need it that loud all the time, but I like to shut people down when they've bumping some shitty system. lol


i gotta get some more detailed pics up. it's really pretty intricate. the guy did a great job for the price IMO. ended up spending a total of $400.

Seriously. Sometimes the simple box, with the right dimensions make the best sound. Almost every system I have ever designed and built, has been a basic box, with the right enclosure size and have always slammed. Can't wait to hear it.

Keep in mind that the box is smaller than it appears. The panels go all the way to the edges of the trunk.
That being said, yes, the enclosure is perfect for those subs. When push the cone in slowly and then release, it comes back out niiiice and slow. The guy definitely knew what he was doing. Except he told me it's easier to blow a sub by under powering it than by overpowering it...to which I said "if that were the case I'd blow my subs every time the volume was down".... but otherwise he did a good job.

The output of your amps should be matched to the power handling of your subs, is what the installer was trying to tell you.  It has nothing to do with when you turn the volume down.

ironically one of my tires started losing air yesterday and i found out just how easy it is to take apart....took me around an hour and a half to take everything apart and put it back together. I left my spare out for 'weight reduction' for now. might end up mounting more amps where it used to be.

Again, the box is made to the optimum specifications of the subwoofers. The black carpeted parts are the panels, not the box itself. I actually store my car washing supplies behind the panels on the sides of the box, along with my lug nut wrench. It does look like a lot of box, but it's really a lot of hidden storage.
