Looks good! And not to rain on your parade but your sub is sideways and personally i wouldnt mount an amp right to the box, too much vibration

The amp has been mounted to a box since I got it I close to a couple years ago... first it was on a box with 2 12's and then on a box with 2 10's. If it dies, I'll buy a new amp.

And I mounted the sub like that to keep the wiring from the terminals inside the box to the sub short as possible... not really too concerned about where the logo is.

This box cost $50 shipped to me lol. It's 3/4 MDF that is screwed and glued, and the carpet matches. I'm not showing the car, and it serves it purpose. Wasn't trying to spend big money on a custom set-up. Plus, This is very easy to remove if I need the trunk space.

Yeah they are great! I can feel mid-range power increase and love the sound. I'm on the hunt for a CBE now.. just trying to figure out what I'm gonna go with - I'm thinking Invidia.

I didn't want to spend the time and/or money on all that. The one 12 is more than enough bump for what I was looking to do.

+1 never mount the amp on the box. It'll fry the amp from vibration. Since you have room get a ported box it'll hit 10x harder

Ported (hitting harder) is not always better even if you have the room.. I personally hate ported subs no matter what.. I think they sound sloppy.. I think the best setup is 1 or 2 sealed 10 or 12 inch subs. And hey good job, serves its purpose. Little tip. If you take out the stock sub you can squeeze some amps under the rear deck.. thats what I did.. very clean.

How does it sound? If it sounds good and you're happy then that's all that matters. By the way does anybody have any suggestions for a custom enclosure box for my G sedan?

At first glance, I thought you customized the bass **** to be the Dentyne Ice container....THAT would have been sweet
