the fab work looks amazing!

The only comment I would make is, from experience, sub enclosures made from metal sound terrible, because they ring and flex too much.. Have you tried yours out to see how it sounds?

is it too late to make the box removable in case you decide you dont like the sound, or you want to change the sub etc?

The kick wells should be ok because they dont put out as much energy so can be controlled with damping material.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

The sub box is made of heavy wall aluminum and is removable. Audio people often say this can't be done. We have done our re search to do this correctly there is more to it than just building an aluminum box. There are things that have to be done internally as well. We have not tried this specific box for sound but have done this before and if done correctly sounds equally as good as a MDF box and drastically drops the weight. Most importantly it keeps wood out of the car.
