I did it all in one piece and the only seams are at the top and bottom on the ends. Also, I found an automotive grade carpet from an upholstery shop that supposedly is more durable and does not unravel so we'll so we'll see how well it holds up with me throwing stuff behind the seat (it was stiffer than the typical enclosure carpet and cut cleanly but doesn't stretch very much)

I got tired of replacing cracked/leaky/stripped thread terminal cups so I came up with this simple technique for getting the wires into the enclosure and provide a secure seal. I just drill holes for the wires, put zip ties tightly against the panel on the inside and outside and cover the inside with high temp hot glue or silicone etc.

I always use a through bolt. Every coil gets its own bolt. Wire each side. Coming from spl made it easy to change final amp load just swapping the wire on the outside of the enclosure

I use bolts in high powered situations and sometimes for guys who need to occasionally remove the enclosure to free up trunk space etc.

Made some mounting brackets for the enclosure...

Temporarily installed the enclosure with some rubber insulators but I'll need to get some longer bolts so I can isolate it on both sides of the bracket.

Looked good for a couple of days after my buddy gave it a good wash, clay and wax but its been raining since then and looks pretty bad right now!

Found it was going to be a pain trying to get the wires under the carpet so I re routed them through the back of the jump seat and added the Anderson Power pole quick connectors.

Installed and all wired up. I still have to figure out something nice to cover everything up.

Thanks Luke!

Decided to stick to my original K.I.S.S. plans so I'm going to use the old school Alpine SPX-PRO's with the multi adjustable passive crossovers but I am going to go with pods to put the ring radiator tweeters on axis on top of the dash.
