I don't understand why people do things this way. You just destroyed a considerable amount of passenger footwell space. There is PLENTY of room up over the tunnel to build the box into to gain sufficient volume, and then you get the added benefit of having the sub fire into the cabin at an angle, effectively corner loading it.

Have a look at my previous install, which you can find several pics of on this forum, in my Boxster to get an idea of what is a better way of doing things.

My enclosure is about 3.5" deep and angled.. I'm 5'10 and I can strech my legs out and I barley touch it.. So I'd have to disagree with your comment about "destroying footwell space".. There's obviously more than one way to mount a sub in our cars.
