Did you calculate volume? Looks like about .25 cu. ft. or waay too small. I guess you dont use your trunk... What model sub is that, 10W0? How does it sound?

I winged it!!... The sub is a JL 12" w3v2 . IMO the sound is very good, maybe not as tight inside the square box I had before. The cubic inch was a factor, I know but this was my first try at it. I tried to maximize the space , thats why I raised the supports up with the 2x3 studs and framed the sub box bigger. Note i also have dynamat in the spare wheel well.

That's not a 12W6 V2. the V2 resembles a W7, but with screwholes.
